    A resource discussing the Latinx student persistence to graduate from a community college. Acculturative stresses are found to be negatively correlated to student persistence based on a survey student of students. Other factors contributing to student persistence is campus involvement and academic integration.

    I was in a mentoring training where this site was brought up. It has some good tools/resources for teachers at any level. Might want to take a look at it.

  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said. The organization has crafted instructions to help schools, districts, and states make use of the resources on Curriki that could be helpful in the event of school closures. For example, teachers can post content from their curricula or flag curricular materials that already exist in the Web site’s database of resources for student use, said Ms. Kurshan.
  • evaluate what kind of technology infrastructure is in place both at schools and in students’ homes, as well as what kind of training teachers have had in delivering instruction online.
  • extensive cable TV programming to put lessons in a televised format for middle and elementary school students.

      The comment posted for technology class
  • clausen wrote: The district I work in is the third poorest school district in the state and many of the students with working-class families may not have access to computers with Internet. I realize that an alternative would be to create packets and assignments in hard copy to these students' homes but aside from the technologies discussed in this article and the paper alternative how do we reach those students who are "unplugged," from technology? Is it right for students with technology in his/her home to continue working with interactive lessons, wikis, and blogs that can be structured to accommodate reading and learning differences while other students can't? In turn, isn't this widening the learning gap between students in working-class families and upper-class families? 9/13/2009 12:14 AM EDT on EdWeek

  • New social computing tools such as wikis and blogs put unprecedented communication power in the hands of employees.
  • empowering employees to collaborate in unorthodox ways is all about "unleashing the power of human capital."

      And shouldn't that be what is in the forefront of people's minds while they are limiting the money put into educaiton? How can we teach students "21st Century Skills," if we don't have the technology to teach, show, and do. You can't get the skills without having the tools.

  • In the midst of all of the “uproar” over the President’s planned speech to school kids on Tuesday, I keep thinking about what all of this says about schools, about what they are for, and about the perception that a lot of people in this country have of them.
  • no better place for my children to watch that speech (or any other, for that matter) than in a place where ideas are encouraged, where critical thinking about those ideas is a natural part of the conversation, and where appropriate response and debate can flourish. Where the adults in the room lead my kids to dig deeper, to validate facts, and consider the many levels of context in which every speech and every debate takes place. Where the discussion around it is such that it lays to rest the concern that many seem to have about this particular speech in general, that in some way the President will be able to “indoctrinate” our kids into some socialist mindset. If schools are the fully functioning learning communities that we hope they are, they should be the place where our kids learn to make sense of ideas, not to fear them. That, however, is not the message we are sending.

    Interesting article here. I like the selection of quotes that he, and his commenters, highlight, especially the one that mentions that working harder at something you are already doing isn't reform.
