C4T #1


The control group listed on Manaiakalani’s Blog seems great. I love how they have advanced that particular group in basic subjects such as math.  In this particular blog it talks about how they use two different groups of students and teach them using different teaching methods. One method was very  personal and focused in on more detail while the other was a set schedule and not as detailed ( in other words when the teacher felt they had taught the subject well enough the class moved on). 

Later on in the post it shows how the progress in the two groups were very different . Of course those who recieved more attention and detail their test results were  higher. This posed the question how are we able to get all of the students on this level which is found on the blog in resources. Through the last post there has been more evidence that control groups have become popular and the advancement in Manaiakalani schools have been great. 

Their latest post was on the advancement of the education community. The post included the video found below. The video showed how their ancestors simple way of transportation (sailing) has become a sport and part of their culture and continues today. Simply saying that if the education program continues in the direction that they are going that the sky is the limit.
