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.

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.

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.

In January, we shared that the Department of Education had added important new information to studentaid.gov showing borrowers their progress toward being debt-free through Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans. As we reported, borrowers could log into their accounts on studentaid.gov and see an IDR progress tracker showing how many months of qualifying payments they had made in IDR.
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

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.

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.

Dr. Erik M. Hines In the scriptures, Jesus stated, And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you do it to the least to these, My brethren, you did it to Me. Jesus refers to the individuals who think they were doing the right thing, such as helping people and feeding the poor, rather than doing performative things, such as discussing what one would do to help people or implementing policies that are counterintuitive to assisting people.

Dr. Cheryl Holcomb-McCoy What happens when we strip education of its resources, devalue its professionals, and politicize its purpose? Were finding out in real-time, and nowhere are the consequences more alarming than in our efforts to diversify the educator workforce.

With strong ties to local business and industry, Maricopa Community Colleges are leading the way with industry-aligned bachelors degrees.
