A new report on “disrupted learning” from the Oregon Education Association, the statewide teachers’ union, documents student behaviors such as biting, kicking, punching, yelling, cursing and screaming. The report makes the case that “Oregon students and classrooms are in crisis.” We hear from Melinda Ryan, a teacher in the North Clackamas School District and Joe Fulton, a librarian at Linus Pauling Middle School in the Corvallis School District about what disrupted learning looks like where they work.
