This brief explores the costs of developing and implementing Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) in order to help Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grantees interested in adopting SLOs anticipate and understand the costs of implementing them in a district or school. The brief focuses on the costs involved with the initial design and implementation of an…

In order for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) students to be fully included and affirmed in their schools, administrators need opportunities to learn about and recognize the need for a continuous process of interrupting the systematic exclusion and stigmatization of LGBTQ students in all arenas of school life: curriculum, social…

Climate change education (CCE) programs should foster citizen response to climate change by integrating knowledge/skill development with reflection on the need for actively changing current social systems and personal actions. An analytical framework was developed to examine 16 Korean and international CCE programs to identify (1) structure and…

During the COVID-19 pandemic many students undertaking professional placements and internships had to leave their physical place of employment due to restrictions.

Young children's digital play environments comprise an increasingly large part of early learning experiences, and are likely to have ongoing and enduring impacts throughout life. Research on early childhood educational (ECE) apps has been predominantly considered from researchers' perspectives, with little consideration of all stakeholders. At the…

This article highlights a two-year institution's efforts to deliver personalized guidance and direction to students, providing essential support resources in hope of facilitating meaningful connections that will lead to increased enrollment, persistence, retention, and three-year graduation rates. The project includes efforts by student services…

Albert Einstein once remarked that the world was characterized by a proliferation of means and a confusion of goals. This certainly characterizes the state of global higher education today.

Previous activity classification studies have typically been performed on normal weight individuals. Therefore, it is unclear whether a generic classification algorithm could be developed that would perform consistently across individuals who fall within different BMI categories. Acceleration data were collected from the hip and ankle joints of 50…

The effect of simulator-triggered team debriefing on team cognition and teamwork was explored in the context of simulator-based training of project management. Specifically, a simulator-generated feedback based on the dynamic state of the simulated project was displayed to students to trigger team debriefing. The experiment took place as part of a…

The changing landscape that leaders face demands an evolution of leadership development that not only builds skills but also grows a leader's capacity to effectively respond to and manage an ambiguous, uncertain and changing future.
