When Joann Blumenfeld, an educator with the Wake County Public School System, looks at her students, she doesn’t see disabilities — she sees superpowers. “We need to flip the mindset that these kids have disabilities,” says Blumenfeld, a special education teacher and founder of Catalyst, a STEM program for high school students with disabilities. “They have different superpowers.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them.

When working on surveys for a large school district, I heard it all. We don’t trust you with our survey data. What did you do with last year’s survey? This survey takes too long. What am I supposed to do with this survey data?

I have been in education long enough to have seen my share of buzzwords come and go. When I started my career 10 years ago, teaching “grit” was all the rage, but that era of character education shortly met its well-deserved end (a topic for a different day). Similarly phased out have been phrases such as “21st-century skill-building,” “college-ready,” “positive behavior intervention system” and “data-driven instruction.”.

Schools are expected to keep students safe, but increasingly, their attempts to do so are instead putting students at risk.

In Grade 1, children’s language skills develop rapidly. They learn to use more words and start putting them together to form simple sentences.
