As a blended learning coach, I spend a lot of time in classrooms where teachers are experimenting with blended learning models. The Station Rotation Model is one I see used frequently. Its popularity stems from the fact that it allows teachers to maximize limited technology and it creates a nice balance between online and offline work. The basic design of a station rotation lesson includes three types of stations: teacher-led, online, and offline.

Over the past five years, K–12 technology spending had a compound annual growth rate of about 8.67 percent. But just how much of that new hardware, software and services is being used as intended — or at all? It’s a tough question, partly because increased spending has resulted in device proliferation.

Never before has a generation had so much and seemingly wanted for so little. An expanding middle class has provided access to a family budget which young people use to spend 14X more on food (compared to adults); 8X more on books and clothes (up to 79% have purchased online); and twice as much on entertainment. This is a group highly connected , with PEW research noting 95 percent of teens (12 – 17) use the internet, and 81 percent of them use social media sites.

The number of K-12 students enrolling in full-time virtual and blended learning schools continues to grow, despite research suggesting that students in these programs do not perform as well as their peers in traditional settings. In a series of new research briefs released Tuesday, the nonprofit National Education Policy Center (NEPC) challenges the idea that online learning programs can be as effective as traditional schools in delivering individualized instruction to students.

Districts with better teachers, and which use fewer teachers with temporary or substandard credentials, play a major role in narrowing student achievement gaps across racial and socio-economic lines. That’s according to a new report from the Learning Policy Institute, an education research nonprofit founded by researcher Linda Darling-Hammond, who is also president of the California State Board of Education.

Behavior counts. How employees and students are treated and whether they feel respected begins at the top. From their first interactions with employees, students, parents, and the community, superintendents cast their “shadow” onto their district. This shadow is a reflection of everything a superintendent does and says – it may be weak or powerful, but it always exists.

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.

Teachers, school counselors, and school leaders impact student social-emotional learning (SEL) to the degree that they transform each student’s mindset by empowering the self of the student. SEL is more than simple observable changes in behavior or short-term boosts to motivation. Student SEL is the process of deep change—changing beliefs, assumptions, and paradigms of reality.

After eight years teaching English at public high schools in New Jersey, I’ve learned a secret: teachers want more ! Of course, teachers would love higher salaries—many are barely getting by —but I’m not just talking about money. Teachers enter the profession for moments of total engagement in the classroom. They also want the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to design and create meaningful learning experiences.
