In an era of increasingly competitive college admissions, constrained resources, and the usual uncertainty about where students of all types will enroll, figuring out how and who to attract can be a challenge. Colleges have turned to predictive analytics—using past enrollment data to make predictions about future enrollment trends—to make tough decisions about who to actively recruit, admit, and support financially.

As expectations for educators continue to rise, we must ensure that every aspiring teacher has an adequate opportunity to master and apply their craft. Just like doctors in training, aspiring teachers need sustained clinical experiences alongside expert practitioners to build links between educational theory and practice and to develop the hands-on techniques and strategies that help children learn.

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.

Part of a school leader’s job is to create conditions in which teachers work collaboratively to achieve excellence in their instructional practices and in student learning.

Students, parents, and teachers alike use social media every day, though they’re not always using it with a specific purpose. While social media can be a great outlet for personal expression, there are times when it interferes and impacts your school more than you’d like. But using social media is all about public relations – you can either let your students, parents, and teachers tell the story for you, or you can jump ahead of them and create your own narrative.

In a flipped-classroom, blended learning environment with team-based learning it is important to consider the formation of students teams. For students who are first year undergraduate students, freshmen, it can be a much longer and more difficult task to form teams of their own. First year students do not tend to know other students well enough to determine whether they will work well together, i.e. information asymmetry between students.

Edtech is no complete substitute for that, but there are tools that can supplement the development of character in the classroom and at home. According to the Character Lab , self-control is: controlling one's own responses so they align with short- and long-term goals.
