Invertebrates are animal species that do not possess or
develop a vertebral column, derived from the notochord. This in effect includes
all animals apart from the subphylum Vertebrata. Familiar examples of
invertebrates include insects, worms, clams, crabs, octopus, snails, and
starfish. Taxonomically speaking, "invertebrate" is no more than a
term of convenience. The overwhelming majority of animal species are
invertebrates, because only about 4% of animal species include a vertebral
column in their anatomy. In other words all animals except those in the
chordate subphylum Vertebrata (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals)
are regarded as invertebrates. Furthermore, many individual invertebrate taxa
have a greater number and variety of species than the entire subphylum of
Vertebrata. In fact some of the so-called invertebrata, such as the Chaetognatha
and Hemichordata, are more closely related to the Chordata than to other
invertebrate phyla. CWPM 140
The trait that is common to all invertebrates is the absence
of a vertebral column: this creates a distinction between invertebrates and
vertebrates. The distinction is one of convenience only; it is not based on any
clear biologically homologous trait, any more than the common trait of having
wings functionally unites insects, bats, and birds, or than not having wings
unites tortoises, snails and sponges. Being animals, invertebrates are
heterotrophs, and require sustenance in the form of the consumption of other
organisms. With a few exceptions, such as the Porifera, invertebrates generally
have bodies composed of differentiated tissues. There is also typically a
digestive chamber with one or two openings to the exterior. CWPM 255

"Mr Taylor who annually starts with a class of fourth graders, 2/3 of whom are below grade level, and ends the year with most of the class at and above grade level. He gets results by emphasizing reading and writing, and holds students responsible for the work assigned. All the students read the same challenging books, stories and poems; they spend a lot of time on vocabulary, take notes, identify the main chapter idea and write a chapter summary every day. They read about six challenging books a year...Fortunately for his students, he puts them first and is determined that every student will make at least one year of progress in his class. Some students make spectacular gains in reading, writing or math. The average student this past year made about three years academic progress....His Title I students perform as well as students in the nearby "rich" area with all top-rated schools." Robert Cherba
