The move to asynchronous learning can have a steep learning curve, but it’s so important to have engaging materials for online-only classrooms. It goes without saying that blended classrooms also use instructional videos a lot. As such, instructional videos do more than simply convey information, they are useful teaching tools that replace traditional lectures.

With summer break already in progress for most school districts, leaders can finally plan a week or two to step away from the daily grind and have a chance just to be. But if you are like me, this is not as easy as it sounds. When most of our time is dictated by a calendar of events, meetings, to-do’s, and small pockets of time to focus on family and friends, genuinely unplugging can be challenging.

With more than 300 million COVID-19 vaccines distributed, life across the U.S. is slowly shifting toward the next, new normal. For many K–12 schools, this means a return to in-person classes in the fall that are less disrupted by pandemic pressures. But even as in-person learning ramps up, remote education won’t vanish. Recent survey data found that 45 percent of parents would still opt for partial virtual learning given the chance.
This white paper examines and proposes revisions to the "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education" introduced by Arthur Chickering and Zelda Gamson in 1987 for today's technology-driven world.

Summer is always a good opportunity to explore new ideas, particularly ideas for boosting student engagement or perhaps taking some risks with trying something a bit different in our classrooms. The 2020-2021 school year has definitely been one full of changes and a time when we’ve had to become more flexible in our instruction to adapt to changing learning environments and conditions.

No one goes into the education profession for accolades or to make big bucks, although I wish the latter were a reality. The choice one makes to teach and lead is almost always grounded in the innate desire to make a positive difference in a child's life. On some days, this might seem like an impossible task as a myriad of challenges makes it difficult.

Technology’s role during the pandemic was critical and apparent. From its wide adoption and use, many students discovered a more inclusive learning environment. Schools and communities that previously couldn’t afford to acquire devices and internet access received grants and other financial aid to do so. This is not to say that the digital divide has ceased to be a problem.

The variety of humans in a classroom is remarkable. Their needs, skills, interests, pacing, preferences, and language proficiencies are incredibly diverse. As educators, we have the challenge and honor to teach a dynamic and unique group of students each time a class period begins.

Leadership has always been a bit messy, especially in schools, where leaders have always had to navigate ambiguity and complexity. But prior to 2020 much of the messiness was hidden. Before the pandemic, strong leaders were often expected to focus their leadership on process, accountability and strategic planning that presented a very controlled picture of leadership.

Today, student debt is a larger source of household indebtedness than credit cards or automobiles, and is surpassed only by home mortgages. From 1993 to 2012, the share of students taking out loans to finance their degrees rose from roughly half to over two-thirds. Between 1993 and 2020, the average loan amount grew nearly three-fold, exceeding $30,000.

Before the pandemic, the way we delivered education hadn’t changed much in 100 years. But March 2020 became a turning point almost overnight, not just for the world, but for education as we know it. In the pre-COVID-19 world, many K–12 students had to show up to school buildings, file into rows of desks and, for some, take notes by hand as their instructors spoke from the front of the room.
