  • A strong workforce is vital to our nation's economic prosperity, and it has become more critical than ever that our workforce acquire advanced skills and postsecondary credentials. By 2020, 65 percent of jobs will require a college degree or postsecondary credential.
  • prior learning assessment (PLA), which enables non-traditional learners to complete training and degree programs sooner by awarding them college credit based on the college-level knowledge, skills and abilities they've gained outside of the classroom.
  • Many state policy leaders have begun to recognize the importance and potential of PLA and have been developing statewide strategies.

  • They have advanced the careers of male economists, often at women’s expense
  • The central problem is that employment policies that are gender-neutral on paper may not be gender-neutral in effect.
  • Succeed within seven years and you have a job for life. Fall short, and you’re fired.

  • The policies led to a 19 percentage-point rise in the probability that a male economist would earn tenure at his first job. In contrast, women’s chances of gaining tenure fell by 22 percentage points. Before the arrival of tenure extension, a little less than 30 percent of both women and men at these institutions gained tenure at their first jobs. The decline for women is therefore very large.
  • They found that men who took parental leave used the extra year to publish their research, amassing impressive publication records. But there was no parallel rise in the output of female economists.
  • ng birth is not a gender-neutral event,” recalling that during her pregnancy, “I threw up every day.” She argued, “Policies that are neutral in the eyes of a lawyer are not neutral in fact.”
  • Better policies could help economics — not to mention the sciences and other fields — look like less of a boys’ club.
  • Three female economists have shown that the tools of economics — which enable a careful assessment of incentives and constraints informed by real-world data — suggest that a more nuanced policy would lead to better outcomes. It leaves me wondering how many other policy mistakes we could avoid, if only we had more female economists.

  • And digital fluency, the extent to which people embrace and use digital technologies to become more knowledgeable, connected and effective, plays a key role in helping women achieve gender equality and level the playing field.

  • Action is the most important thing of all. Everything in CAPA — everything — is driven by the question: how is this changing your capacity to engage the world effectively? If you can’t answer that question, it’s not a CAPA course.
  • We keep looking for seminal issues — places to work — where if you can work there, you’re going to really have a way of seeing what matters.
  • CAPA operates under a pedagogy of discovery, not a pedagogy of consumption. You have to find out what you don’t know. The

  • only difference between the faculty and students is that the faculty know how to be students.
  • What I’m saying is that disciplines don’t ring. We have to see the world through issues and action
  • I think that what I see is increasing avoidance of complexity, which is a problem because the world is complex. I think there’s a fundamentalism about technology. Technology itself isn’t going to save us. Technology is wonderful, but it’s a tool.
  • There’s a wonderful line: “Don’t just do something, stand there.” That’s the essence of CAPA. If you really want to be effective, you have to stand there and take it in and learn and figure out and bring the resources that you bring to other things. You need to do it with other people — don’t try to do it alone.
  • We can also think about adult education as a place to create an activist citizenry.
  • How can we organize a way for adults to talk to each other about things of common concern? We’re very good at having people talk to each other about things that matter — when we do it.

    Good resource, Lyn, with many good ideas. The fishbowl explanation and conceptual mapping are potentially relevant to us--fishbowl as a method we could use in online seminars with a Google Hangout within a Livestream and concept mapping as a tool to share with others. Sure there are other worthwhile pages here, too.

    Another approach might be with engage a large or small company to guide their employees through courses that would improve their current job skills. I shared a writing course I found at the Purdue sight with me daughter. She shared it with her supervisor suggesting that their whole team take the course. There may also be opportunities to work with job centers to educate potential employees on specific job skills required by a company. I mentioned online learning at my most recent book club. WOW, they see it as a way to exchange money for a degree. The response was very negative. Now, Judge Judy is offering online access to cases - and you can weigh in on how you think it should be resolved. Online interaction is coming but, there needs to be a clear case made for its value as an educational tool. I have always had a fear about "experts" teaching the courses. It reminds me of cloning.

    This article compares some of the plugins. It settled on one that looks more promising than the last one. We are currently working on a project that requires us to build a business directory in WordPress. There are many ways to build a directory in WordPress including custom development, existing free or paid plugins, and a ready-made directory theme. We explored several options before finally deciding which one fit our project needs best.

    For many small businesses, open source software represents an unexplored gold mine. When you run a small business, budgets are always tight. While you need many of the same kinds of software that larger businesses need, you don't have hundreds or thousands of dollars to spend on that software like bigger companies do.
