	<title>WGTE Town Hall: Leading in Literacy -</title>
	<link>http://www.wgte.org/wgte/item.asp?item_id=9009</link>
	<description><![CDATA[Bill Harris hosted this live program that examines one of the most pressing issues facing our community - the problem of low literacy rates among preschool aged children. Children entering school with high literacy skills are "ready to learn" and move to the head of the class. Children with weak reading skills begin school at a disadvantage, a gap that may grow wider as their educational experiece proceeds. How can we break the cycle?

	<title>Teachers' Expectations Can Influence Student Performance</title>
	<link>http://www.wgte.org/wgte/item.asp?item_id=12050</link>
	<description><![CDATA[In 1964, a Harvard professor named Robert Rosenthal, did an experiment at an elementary school south of San Francisco by giving kids a test and reporting the results to the teachers.
The  idea was to figure out what would happen if teachers were told that  certain kids in their class were destined to succeed. Rosenthal  told the teachers that this test had the special ability to predict which kids were about to experience a dramatic growth in their  I.Q.

As  he followed the children over the next two years, Rosenthal discovered  that the teachers' expectations of these kids really did affect the  students. "If teachers had been led to expect greater gains in I.Q.,  then increasingly, those kids gained more I.Q.," he says.

	<title>40 Years On, 'Free To Be' Still Resonates</title>
	<link>http://www.wgte.org/wgte/item.asp?item_id=12486</link>
	<description><![CDATA[The children's album Free To Be... You and Me was the brainchild of Emmy-winning actress Marlo Thomas and a bevy of celebrity friends, from Michael Jackson to Rosey Grier, all the way to Carol Channing and Harry Belafonte.
It contained stories, skits and songs that were not your typical children's fare. On it, a football player sang a ballad titled "It's Alright to Cry." Another track featured a long-overdue explanation that housework isn't fun for anyone &mdash; mothers, fathers or children.
Forty years after its release, the album, with its themes of gender neutrality and individuality, is still a favorite among parents. Thomas talks with NPR's Rachel Martin about the record's staying power.]]></description>
