    Going to School While Working Can Work Whoever said the kids have it easy? Sure, they may have more gadgets and gizmos, but they also have to pay their way. Over the past three decades, the price of higher education in America has gone through the proverbial roof.

Fast Unsecured Loans Especially Made For Cash Deprived Folk - 0 views

  •  
    These loans are transient in nature, so the rate of intrigue charged on these credits is marginally higher than different advances. These are fast cash unsecured loans and need not oblige you to put profitable resources as security.

How teacher turnover harms student achievement - 33 views

  •  
    new study with some interesting findings. the trouble is always, putting all these study/findings into our head and synthesizing it into some kind of workable framework. It is never just one thing that impacts student achievement.

    I am really confused by this abstract- it calls the assumption into question but then seems to assert the very same assumption??? Researchers and policymakers often assume that teacher turnover harms student achievement, but recent evidence calls into question this assumption. Using a unique identification strategy that employs grade-level turnover and two classes of fixed-effects models, this study estimates the effects of teacher turnover on over 600,000 New York City 4th and 5th grade student observations over 5 years. The results indicate that students in grade-levels with higher turnover score lower in both ELA and math and that this effect is particularly strong in schools with more low-performing and black students. Moreover, the results suggest that there is a disruptive effect of turnover beyond changing the composition in teacher quality.

What We do not know ( Infographic ) - 0 views

    "When it comes to history, science, and global affairs. Americans are notoriously uninformed. Too many of us shrug off our inability to" do math" or speak a second language.

  •  
    Explore brain neuroplasticity and it's application to learning. The prefrontal cortex(PFC) is the cognitive,reflective center for making long term memory networks out of learning. Boredom and/or frustration block this area from performing. Therefore,long term learning is slowed. What can be offered to the student to increase brain powered learning?

Protecting Student Privacy Without Going FERPANUTS - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of High... - 11 views

  • Most students don't care about FERPA - stuffy administrators do. If students cared in the slightest none of them would have Facebook accounts. Have them sign a FERPA waiver and get back to work! If they don't want to waive then provide alternate ways to earn credit.
  • I think it is really important to keep the spaces where we learn private. Students need to ability to test out ideas within a safe environment that is protected from outside search engines. We need an opportunity to test ideas and fail without a future prospective employer able to access student work. Materials that are public in the digital world lose their contextual basis and therefore can be misinterpreted at a later time.  Therefore, if I have students post and reflect, I do it all within the confines of a password protected website. Password protection is not perfect but at least it is an honest step at protecting a student's right to be a student.

    I tend to agree with James here, but keupher also has a point worth considering. Teach students to be wise and safe in public, or keep things "safe" and private??
