Esperanza High students first in Orange County learning virtual anatomy lessons from $75,000 medical device |
|
Emilee Carr, a senior at Esperanza High School in Anaheim, removed a drape from the exam table to reveal the patient, Carl, and with the touch of a stylus she removed his gall bladder. A few more taps and she peeled back Carl’s skin and muscles to reveal his skeleton and respiratory system. She enlarged a cross-section of his body and made notes on it for future reference. At Esperanza High, students can go beyond the textbooks and animal dissections of years past and learn about anatomy on a virtual cadaver using the school’s new anatomage table. |

Esperanza High School’s new life-size medical tablet allows students to perform simulated surgeries |
|
The group of students gathered around the patient known as Carl inside a lab at Esperanza High as they performed the delicate procedure of removing a gallbladder. Of course, this wasn’t a real surgery. Students performed the procedure on a 3D tablet, with an iPad-like screen that’s about seven feet long, and just under three feet wide. The device is the newest addition to Esperanza High School’s Medical Sciences Academy. |

Medical coding becomes first program in proposed California online community college |
|
If lawmakers approve Gov. Jerry Brown’s ambitious plan to launch a statewide online-only community college, the first students to benefit will be aspiring health professionals who are crucial to the bottom lines of hospitals and medical clinics.
Officials from the California Community Colleges system announced on Tuesday that the first career pathway the proposed online college will prepare workers for is medical coding, a middle-skill position that can pay well above $50,000 a year and one that is in high demand.

Best charter schools impose ‘no excuse’ doctrine |
|
Most research on the performance of charter schools has found their students achieve about the same as those in traditional public schools. But new research from Columbia University suggests that when the comparison is filtered by school policies, one particular kind of charter school stands out—those that abide by the no excuse doctrine.
As the term might indicate, no excuse schools tend to have high expectations for both academics and behavior. They tend to have longer school days and a longer school year and require their teachers to aggressively provide feedback to students, offer tutoring when needed and overall rely on data-driven instruction.

Black SWDs miss hundreds of school days due to suspensions |
|
Past studies have established that, separately, Black children and students with disabilities face disproportionately high suspension rates. According to new research, Black students with disabilities are, perhaps unsurprisingly then, at even more of a disadvantage. Using national data 2014-15 and 2015-16, the Center for Civil Rights Remedies–an initiative at the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles–found that Black students with disabilities in grades K-12 lost 77 more days of instruction on average than white students with disabilities due to suspensions. |
