A data breach by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) offers a cautionary tale about how K-12 school districts and their vendors should communicate the (bad) news to stakeholders.
User Generated Education

I was painfully bored during my K-12 education. I looked forward to college anticipating that it would be different – more engaging, more interesting, more innovative. I was wrong. My undergraduate education, except for a few bright spots, was just an extension of my K-12 education including more grill and drill with sages on the stages (literally since I went to such a large university); taking notes and taking lots of multiple choice tests.

UPDATED: August 14 16, 2017. Data breaches happen. Some argue they are even inevitable. Given that K-12 school districts – along with state and local governments – are increasingly relying on online tools and services to conduct business and provide services, there is no reason to believe that the K-12 education sector is or will be immune to these larger and concerning IT trends.

Hi Guido & Esteban, My edtech company has started achieving rapid user adoption and we believe we have a compelling story to start fundraising. As we get all of our ducks in a row to start approaching VCs, I’m wondering, is there a specific time where VCs are more actively looking for companies to invest in? Conversely, is there a downtime? — Time Sensitive.
The Principal of Change

I came across this interesting article on parents.com, titled, “ Goodbye to Grades? Mastery-Based Learning Is Becoming the New Standard “, and thought it was great that an outside education site was talking about changes in education in mostly a positive way. Some swear that learning based on mastery instead of grades, or a “one size fits all” approach to teaching, has changed kids’ lives.

By: Alec Clark | Bladen County Schools | Instructional Technology Facilitator. In the 2015-16 school year, I was fortunate to be chosen for the NCDLCN cohort. During the course of the program, a plan was developed to best meet the needs of our teachers while keeping the students in mind. At first I was floundering, what is the best way to meet the need of our customers?

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.

The instruction that you provide to your students is the most important variable regarding student achievement. Good instruction can deliver up to two years growth for some students. The opposite, Jennifer Allen writes, “focus on improving the quality of instruction that (you are) providing to all students…student achievement would improve if we focused more energy on supporting classroom instruction as opposed to putting all of our resources toward supporting individual students”.

Over the last two years, I’ve moved further and further away from traditional grading. I’ve blogged about grading for mastery of skills instead of the accumulation of points and ditching my traditional grade book in favor of an ongoing assessment document. I identify target skills and assess these critical skills over the course of the grading period.
