New Mexico Educator Co-Authors Study Advancing Equity in ELA Assessment Under ESSA Framework

Published

on

United States, 27th May 2025 – In a landmark contribution to the evolving national conversation on educational equity, instructional leadership, and assessment reform, Jesselle Garbo-Acson, a New Mexico-based teacher-leader, has co-authored a peer-reviewed study examining systemic barriers in the administration of English Language Arts (ELA) assessments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article, titled “Distance Learning Barriers and Bottlenecks: A Phenomenological Inquiry on the Conduct of English Language Arts (ELA) Standard Assessments”, was published in the International Journal of Learning, Teaching and Educational Research (IJLTER), Vol. 22, Issue 8, and is accessible via DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.22.8.3.

Co-authored with three fellow Filipino educators, the study presents a rigorous qualitative analysis of the lived experiences of U.S. elementary ELA teachers who faced unprecedented challenges during the shift to remote learning. The research documents issues ranging from digital inequity and instructional adaptability to emotional fatigue and assessment validity, all of which intersect critically with the equity and accountability mandates of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

“Our collaboration brought together a shared commitment to spotlighting teacher voices during one of the most disruptive periods in educational history,” said Garbo-Acson. “This study speaks not only to assessment practices but to the urgent need for structural changes that uphold fairness and accuracy in measuring learning—particularly for students most at risk of being left behind.”

A Study Grounded in ESSA’s Equity Mission

The Every Student Succeeds Act, passed in 2015, emphasizes the need for inclusive, valid, and reliable academic assessments that serve all students—including English learners, students with disabilities, and children from underserved communities. Garbo-Acson’s study directly supports this mission, offering evidence that current standardized assessment systems must evolve to remain equitable in both traditional and virtual learning contexts.

Key findings in the article call attention to:

  • Disparities in digital access and assessment infrastructure
  • Educator stress and lack of professional training in online testing tools
  • Barriers to maintaining assessment integrity and student engagement remotely

These insights support ESSA’s provisions under Title I and Title II, which call for closing achievement gaps and improving teacher quality, especially in schools serving high-needs populations.

“ESSA isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s a moral one,” Garbo-Acson explains. “We must ensure that the data we collect on students actually reflects their learning, not their limitations in access or support.”

New Mexico Educator Co-Authors Study Advancing Equity in ELA Assessment Under ESSA Framework

A Voice for Instructional Leadership

Jesselle M. Garbo-Acson holds dual Level III Instructional Leader licenses in K–8 and 6–12 education, the highest level of teacher licensure in New Mexico. She currently teaches at Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community School, where she integrates Native American perspectives into culturally responsive curricula. Her past work at Crownpoint Elementary School was nationally recognized when her class achieved the highest statewide growth in both ELA and Math assessments during the 2023–2024 school year.

In addition to her classroom achievements, she holds a Master’s degree in English Language Education, and professional credentials including TESOL certification, Microsoft Certified Educator, and National Board Certification candidacy. Her role as a digital and blended learning influencer further supports her research credentials, making her uniquely qualified to speak to 21st-century instructional equity.

The inclusion of Filipino co-authors also highlights the global dimension of educational leadership and solidarity, emphasizing that best practices in pedagogy and assessment must transcend national boundaries.

Policy Relevance and National Reach

Garbo-Acson’s study is gaining attention among education policymakers, district leaders, and instructional coaches for its application to post-pandemic ESSA implementation. Among the policy-aligned recommendations offered in the article:

  • Rethinking assessment delivery models to support flexibility without compromising data integrity
  • Expanding professional development on digital testing and virtual classroom assessment strategies
  • Designing equity-centered accountability frameworks that account for student context, not just performance
  • Integrating teacher-informed assessment design into district and state-level decisions

The U.S. Department of Education has repeatedly emphasized the importance of using student performance data to support—not penalize—schools. Garbo-Acson’s work answers that call by elevating real-world stories and providing practical strategies rooted in research and classroom practice.

From Rural Classrooms to the Global Stage

Although based in Bloomfield, New Mexico, Garbo-Acson’s voice and impact extend far beyond her immediate teaching environment. As an educator serving historically underrepresented student populations—including Indigenous communities—her leadership in assessment reform demonstrates how local insight can generate national impact.

Her work also reflects the Department of Education’s broader goals under its EdTech and Digital Equity Plans, contributing to a future where all students, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location, are afforded fair, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate assessments.

Cocrystal Technology The Breakthrough Powering the Next Generation of Nutritional Supplements

Published

on

BIGVITA spotlights the science and promise of cocrystal technology, a cutting-edge innovation that enhances the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of key nutraceutical ingredients such as CoQ10, curcumin, lutein, and silybin. Unlike conventional supplements, cocrystal-enhanced formulations enable faster absorption, reduced dosages, and longer shelf life.The article explains the fundamental science behind cocrystals—crystalline structures that bind active ingredients with coformers—transforming how nutrients behave in the body without altering their molecular integrity.Citing several peer-reviewed studies, the release demonstrates dramatic gains in bioavailability (up to 16x) for various compounds. It concludes with BIGVITA’s commitment to leading the nutraceutical market by applying pharmaceutical-grade science to natural health solutions.Audience: Health-conscious consumers, wellness professionals, and media outlets interested in scientific innovation and supplement efficacy.

Irvine, CA, United States, 29th May 2025  — In the quest for more effective health supplements, consumers and wellness brands alike are confronting a common issue: poor nutrient absorption. Many of the most promising natural ingredients—like CoQ10, curcumin, lutein, and silybin—struggle to deliver their full benefits because they simply aren’t absorbed well by the body. But that’s about to change, thanks to a game-changing innovation called cocrystal technology.

The Science Behind Cocrystal Technology

Cocrystal technology stems from advanced crystallization science. A cocrystal is a single-phase crystalline material composed of an active ingredient and a coformer—such as an amino acid or vitamin—held together through non-covalent bonds like hydrogen bonding.

What sets cocrystals apart is their ability to enhance the physical properties of an ingredient—such as solubility, dissolution rate, and moisture resistance—without altering its molecular structure or pharmacological activity. This unique combination allows manufacturers to boost a compound’s bioavailability and stability without compromising its natural benefits.

For consumers, this translates into supplements that are more effective, longer-lasting, and better tolerated by the body.

Why Bioavailability Matters

Imagine buying a high-quality supplement and only getting a fraction of its benefits. That’s the reality with many traditional formulations. CoQ10, for example, has an oral bioavailability of just 2–3% in its standard form. Curcumin, despite its acclaimed anti-inflammatory properties, is nearly insoluble in water, making it difficult for the body to absorb.

Meet Cocrystal Technology: A Smarter Way to Deliver Nutrients

By forming a crystalline complex with natural coformers, cocrystal technology transforms how nutrients behave in the body—improving how fast and how much of them are absorbed.

Key Benefits:

  • Faster absorption
  • Greater potency at lower dosages
  • Improved chemical and thermal stability
  • Clinically backed performance

What the Research Says

  • A ubiquinol cocrystal with nicotinamide boosted bioavailability 4.5 times and remained stable under stress (Zhang et al., 2023).
  • A curcumin–L-carnitine cocrystal increased systemic absorption by over 10 times (Mao et al., 2024).
  • A lutein cocrystal achieved 6x better bioabsorption and retained 99% potency over 30 days.
  • A silybin–L-proline cocrystal provided 16x the bioavailability of raw extract (Zhu et al., 2025).

Why This Matters for Your Health

Cocrystal-enhanced supplements deliver on what most formulas promise but rarely achieve: reliable, science-based efficacy. Whether you’re aiming for better heart health, vision protection, joint comfort, or liver support, these innovations ensure your body gets what it needs—when it needs it.

BIGVITA’s Role in This Wellness Revolution

At BIGVITA, we believe great health starts with great science. We’re proud to be among the pioneers bringing cocrystal-powered supplements to market—helping real people get real results with less guesswork.

Stay tuned as we unveil a new era in wellness, where nature’s best meets breakthrough science.
