Allow Innovation In W.Va. Schools - Wheeling News Register

08.04.09

Earlier this year, Education Week magazine patted West Virginia on the back for its use of technology to improve public schools. Our state and Georgia were listed as being the best in the nation in that regard.

But machines do not educate children. They are merely tools, like old-fashioned blackboards, that teachers use to educate children. Without attention to the human factors in public schools, true innovation is not present.

Gov. Joe Manchin and other thoughtful education leaders want schools to be given more flexibility to encourage true innovation. But some state legislators aren't going along with that. They seem willing to allow West Virginia to remain stuck in the politically correct bad old days.

One of Manchin's priorities for this legislative session is the School Innovations Zones Act. It has been described as a measure that would allow educators to improve their schools even though the innovations they want to try do not comply with existing state regulations.

What innovations arose from Virginia Apgar's invention of the Apgar Score?

Sep 26, 2006 by priese | Posted in Other - Health


Apgar's research on anesthesia and childbirth led her to her greatest innovation: the Newborn Scoring System---better known as the "Apgar Score"---for assessing the health of newborn infants, which she conceived in 1949, refined, and finally published in 1953. Up until that time, babies at birth were assumed to be in good health unless they exhibited some obvious difficulty or defect: needless to say, internal deficiencies (e.g., circulatory or respiratory) could be missed, resulting all too often in death. Because Apgar realized that "Birth is the most hazardous time of life," she created a system for quickly and accurately assessing a baby's health in the crucial minutes after birth.
Apgar's system assigns a maximum score of 2 points each for 5 criteria: respiratory effort, reflex irritability, muscle tone, heart rate, and color. The assessment is made at one and five minutes after birth (at fifteen minutes for babies born by cesarean section). A perfect score of 10 and 10 is rare in practice; but a score of at least 7 and 7 virtually guarantees a newborn's health. A lower score alerts obstetricians to the possibility of latent problems (e.g., hemorrhaging, asphyxia), which can then, if necessary, be detected and treated on the spot. Apgar's diagnostic regimen has saved countless lives, and has long been a standard worldwide. The compliment of one famous physician holds true: "Every baby born in a modern hospital anywhere in the world is looked at first through the eyes of Virginia Apgar."
