Redrawing Attendance Boundaries to Promote Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Elementary Schools
Most U.S. school districts draw “attendance boundaries” to define catchment areas that assign students to schools near their homes, often recapitulating neighborhood demographic segregation in schools. Focusing on elementary schools, we ask: How much might we reduce school segregation by redrawing attendance boundaries? Combining parent preference data with methods from combinatorial optimization, we simulate alternative boundaries for 98 U.S. sc…
Technology-assisted coaching can increase engagement with learning technology at home and caregivers’ awareness of it
Child-driven, machine-guided
Child-driven approaches to learning, such as constructionism, can greatly contribute to children's positive relationship with the subject via personally meaningful and grounded learning experiences. However, these approaches typically need scaffolding to ensure learners' progress. Providing scaffolding is nontrivial and time-consuming, typically requiring real-time, one-on-one involvement of the scaffolder. Can scaffolding procedures be at least …
Dense home-based recordings reveal typical and atypical development of tense/aspect in a child with delayed language development
Studies investigating the development of tense/aspect in children with developmental disorders have focused on production frequency and/or relied on short spontaneous speech samples. How children with developmental disorders use future forms/constructions is also unknown. The current study expands this literature by examining frequency, consistency, and productivity of past, present, and future usage, using the Speechome Recorder, which enables c…
