Roberts Middle School
STAAR WEEK
THE OBAMA EFFECT
The influence of a teacher is beyond the classroom walls. We will soon be passing the baton of learning to the next grade level of teachers. As teachers we can never under estimate the power that hope has on a child. Did you know African-American GRE test scores went up in studies immediately after Obama was elected? They call it the Obama Effect. Some researchers have argued that the election of Barack Obama as the first African American president of the United States has had a beneficial influence on the academic success of African-Americans (Marx, Ko, & Friedman, 2009).
As a history teacher, I am intrigued by the impact of this historical election on society. When a child can have hope, there is no stopping them. We should allow them to dare to dream the impossible. As we close this year, let us give each and every child hope for a future filled with opportunity. This week our students will be testing. Thank you so much for helping them prepare not only for this STAAR test, but also for life-long learning.

INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IS FREE,
BUT IT'S PRICELESS,
YOU CAN'T OWN IT,
BUT YOU CAN USE IT,
YOU CAN'T KEEP IT,
ONCE YOU'VE LOST IT,
YOU CAN NEVER GET IT BACK.
I CREATE. I LEARN. I GROW. I DO.
AS A SCIENCE TEACHER, I BELIEVE IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO GET READY FOR THE STAAR
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD STAAR DAY AND A BAD STAAR DAY
IS
YOUR ATTITUDE.
