Newsweek has an interesting article addressing exactly that: How Schools Can Find the Time To Teach Digital Literacy Skills. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer science jobs are projected to grow 13% between 2020 and 2030.

The Fall 2021 PALS Report found that reading skills in young learners are at a 20-year low.

There’s plenty of interest among workforce experts about the potential of alternative credentials—like certificates, badges and apprenticeships—to help more people find better jobs without necessarily having to go to college.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

Every day teachers share stories of stress, burnout, and moral injury. Daily scrolling brings on feelings of guilt. Why? For the past two years, I have worked in two different school systems, in two different states, as an instructional coach.

These are questions I'm currently thinking about, in my new-ish role in our president's office. I'm sure they've been asked before; in fact I know they've been asked before on a smaller scale at my university.
