The recent cancel lation of critical grants and contracts at the Institute for Education Sciences (IES) jeopardizes the future of congressionally mandated and statistically robust surveys on postsecondary education experiences and outcomes. These include the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) and its longitudinal follow-up study of the outcomes of first-time college students, the Beginning Postsecondary Study (BPS).
Authored by Rae James. Black History Month is a special time to reflect on the past, present, and future accomplishments of Black Americans and individuals in the diaspora. It is also a time (as it should be year-round) to uplift the voices and words of the next generation, something that often gets overlooked. Reflecting on my journey, I realized that speaking up and using my voice were actions I had never considered.
Heres my take on accountability in two parts. Part one says every single person on the planet performs better when they have someone in their life who can hold them accountable. Part two says that almost no one on the planet actually enjoys having accountability in their lives. I think thats called a dichotomy. Accountability is what we dont want; its also what we most need if we want massive success in our lives.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
By: Stephanie D. Birch I remember how shocked I was when my three-year-old began reading. I quickly realized the educational pathway we planned would not meet her needs. I saw in her eyes that she had unlocked the magic of reading, and I knew the prescribed educational path would stifle her, leaving her mind yearning Continue Reading The post Homeschooling: The Lifeline We Didnt Know We Needed appeared first on ED.gov Blog.

He shares tips for coping and encourages students to connect, support each other, and create a more inclusive environment. - William Sarenden Loneliness is something we dont talk about enough.

One of the most common questions I am asked, and that I hear being discussed in doctoral and ECR support groups, is whether to write with supervisors and former supervisors. Or most often, I read on social media about problems that come from writing with supervisors and former supervisors. Now, in some disciplines writing with a supervisor is not unusual.

by Patrick O'Connor, Ph.D. In your book, you seem to suggest students should think about college as early as eighth grade. Doesnt that approach just expose them that much sooner to the stress and expectations of a complex process that can take the joy out of learning? I could understand why the questioner seemed a little, well, hostile. She had spent a good part of her therapy career working with students and families who had gone about the college search the wrong way, the way the New York Time

In a groundbreaking achievement that marks a significant milestone for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Howard University has become the first HBCU to receive the prestigious Research One (R1) Carnegie Classification, placing it among the nation's most elite research institutions. The announcement from the American Council of Education (ACE) on Thursday, recognizes Howard's designation as an institution of very high research spending and doctorate production, a status that f
Higher education should be a gateway to greater economic and workforce opportunities. But in some cases, students’ return on investment varies widely because factors like race, income, and geography contribute to disparities in student outcomes. To address these variations, the Institute for Higher Education Policy launched the Value Data Collaborative , an initiative to help higher education leaders better understand and measure the value of postsecondary education.
Authored by Alison Malmon. At twenty five years, its about all the things he has missed. Its the longing for everything that didnt happen, the things that couldnt happen, because hes no longer here. Grief has been a strange road, one that cannot truly be explained. It started with being all-consuming, a disbelief that this stage in life was even real that he was gone.
If you have the audacity to call yourself a leader, then you best be certain that you have some followers. Actual followers, people who are committed to you as a leader. People who follow you because of what youve done for them or other people in the organization. Absent some level of commitment, there is no true followership. And this is key; any level of commitment requires trust, a two-way street kind of trust.
By: Scott Yenor In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proposed dismantling the Department of Education, an agency barely two years old. This was not as radical a move for his administration as it may sound to modern ears. Americans were not accustomed to such a massive role for the federal government in education, which had always Continue Reading The post Education: Whose Job Is It?
Jacob shares his experience as a student currently on a year abroad in France and his advice for dealing with homesickness and loneliness. - Jacob Robinson Before you go on a year abroad, youre told plenty of advice: try to take it all in, say yes to everything, and speak as much of the local language as possible. The list goes on. Much of this advice before I moved to Lyon in France for my year abroad faded into irrelevance as I was consumed by nerves and worries about the move.
Author order is a pretty self-evident term. It simply describes the order in which authors appear on a publication. Who goes first, second and who is et al. Now author order might also seem like a pretty trivial topic. However, it sadly isnt. And it might appear to be a straightforward process, but tussling over who goes first and who goes last has troubled many a research team.

by Patrick O'Connor, Ph.D. National School Counseling Week is next week. I keep hoping this is the year when, like Labor Day, counselors dont have to be the ones to remind the world about this incredible opportunity to thank their hopelessly overworked selves for everything they do, especially the things they do that no one notices they do. But it doesnt look like this is that year, so let me instead not only remind you of this opportunity to remind others, but suggest how you celebrate it.

This moment inspired Joshua Jackson and Dayshawn Louden, then student leaders at Compton College, to begin campaigning and advocating for student housing and increased basic needs on campus.

I have heard there are some people who are resistant to change. Ive even met some of them. I cant imagine why anyone but me wouldnt fully embrace change at every opportunity. I know so many people who need to change, and the funny thing is, those seem to be the ones most resistant to it. Unfortunately, I am sometimes one of those people. As much as Im usually a big continuous improvement guy, I can also at times be a lets just leave well enough alone guy.

On February 21, the Department pulled down the IDR application.

Its a three year project which finishes at the end of this year.
