Partnering with Parents for Student Success in Higher EducationDave Becker
"Parents are partners" is a common phrase we hear at many colleges. But what does that mean? And where do you start?
CampusESP presented on this topic at MSACROA with Cyndy Hill, Director of Penn State's Parent Programs and suggested 5 strategies based on parent engagement data:
1) Personalize your outreach
2) Focus parent involvement on recruiting and admissions
3) Nudge the nudgers
4) Don't use FERPA as an excuse
5) Build a parent engagement strategy
CTE programs have the potential to increase student engagement, achievement, and transition to postsecondary education or careers. CTE courses see higher graduation rates and fewer absences than traditional academic courses. They also improve academic outcomes in reading, math, and science. CTE students are more likely to enroll in further education after high school and earn industry-recognized credentials. However, obstacles like poverty can prevent students from accessing and completing CTE programs. Presenters advocated for strengthening CTE delivery models to help more students achieve economic mobility.

Impact of covid-19 on consumer behavior e-educationmarketxceldata
The survey found that online classes are mostly taking place through Zoom (49%) or Microsoft Teams (15%). Students primarily use smartphones (45%) or laptops (31%) for online classes. The biggest challenges are disrupted internet connections (53%) and finding learning alone at home unenjoyable for kids (43%). Around 32% of students enrolled in online courses, most commonly on Udemy (36%) and Swayam (30%). While some found online learning effective, parents are hesitant to immediately send kids back to school even after lockdowns end.
The document discusses characteristics of effective driving questions for project-based learning. An effective driving question should be about an ill-structured problem that is feasible for students to investigate, worthwhile, contextualized in the real world, and can sustain student engagement over an extended period of time. The document also discusses advantages and disadvantages of teacher-generated versus student-generated driving questions, and provides examples of potential driving questions.
Be the Change 2017 - College Access and Completion PanelKIPP New Jersey
This year's Be the Change Celebration featured our first panel, which focused on the issues of college access and completion. These slides were presented during the panel by moderator Shavar Jeffries of Democrats for Education Reform and our panelists: Richard Barth, CEO of the KIPP Foundation, Ays Necioglu, Vice President at SEO Scholars, and Dr. Daniel Porterfield, President of Franklin and Marshall College.
The document summarizes Diplomas Now, a comprehensive school turnaround model. It received a $30 million federal grant and $6 million private match to implement the model in 60 high-poverty middle and high schools across 10 districts, reaching 57,000 students. The goal is to achieve 80% graduation rates and reduce the number of students entering high school below grade level by 66% through early identification of at-risk students and providing intensive academic and social-emotional supports. Initial results from the first year of implementation showed improvements in keeping students on track to graduate.
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted traditional student recruitment and enrollment processes. Institutions must adapt their recruitment strategies to focus on digital channels like websites, online publishers, and virtual communication. Specifically, they should invest in building strong online presences, reworking fee structures to accommodate financial hardship, implementing video counseling and online application/payment systems, and developing communication strategies. Institutions also need to prepare for potential delays in exams and admissions by remaining flexible, and consider developing online learning capabilities in case extended closures require remote instruction. Overall, COVID-19 is accelerating the shift to digital in education and institutions must upgrade their technology and processes to engage effectively with students searching and enrolling from home.
High School Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) Hobsons

Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students Wi...Jeremy Knight
Despite some gains over the past 20 years, significant numbers of students are not meeting grade-level expectations as defined by performance on academic assessments. Meanwhile, few schools are able to support the sort of accelerated academic learning needed to catch students up to grade-level expectations.
Evidence indicates this is not for lack of educator commitment or dedication. Instead, many educators lack clarity about how to help students catch up. Common messages about holding a high bar for academic rigor and personalizing learning to meet students where they are can be perceived as being at odds with one another.
“Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students With Learning Gaps” synthesizes a broad body of research on the science of learning in order to inform efforts to help students close gaps and meet grade-level expectations. This deck argues that helping students catch up is not about rigor or personalization — classrooms need both.
Closing learning gaps requires students to be motivated and engaged to grapple with challenging, grade-level skills and knowledge — while also having their individual learning needs met.
The report identifies what must happen among educators, systems-level leaders, teacher developers, instructional materials providers, and technology experts to move beyond the dichotomy of “rigor versus personalization” and toward a future that effectively blends the two.
Open Textbook Network workshop at George Fox UniversityRajiv Jhangiani
The document discusses the high cost of textbooks and its negative impact on students. It notes that textbook prices have risen much faster than inflation, with the average student budgeting $1,200-1,400 for books and materials annually. The rising costs have led many students to delay purchasing textbooks, not buy required books, or take fewer courses overall. Open educational resources (OER) such as open textbooks are presented as an alternative to help increase access and affordability for students while maintaining quality. The Open Textbook Library currently hosts over 250 openly licensed textbooks that are complete, free to use, and have received positive reviews.
Standardized testing has a long history dating back to ancient China and was used widely in the early 20th century. Supporters argue it provides accountability and information to improve education, while critics say it narrows curriculum, increases stress, and fails to account for outside factors influencing student performance. Different groups have varying views, with teachers expressing the most skepticism about overreliance on standardized tests.
