Cyberattacks on our nation’s K–12 schools are on the rise. They’re targeting a rich cache of data and IT resources. Since 2016, there have been 1,180 cyber-related incidents in K–12 public schools, and this number continues to grow. With the shift to online and hybrid learning, schools have found themselves more exposed than ever. In light of the new vulnerabilities, an FBI alert issued in the summer of 2020 warned K–12 institutions of new cyberattacks ahead of these schools resuming virtual lea

There are few areas of our lives in which science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) don’t play a key role. There is an increasing number of areas in which our activities are becoming more reliant upon the tools of our digital age.

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! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

For many families, a season of applying to college lies ahead; a moment of reckoning about the reality of opportunity in our country. Yet despite recent debates over opportunity gaps, there is still one major (and surprising) gap we ignore. The millions of young men who are not going to college. Nationally, 59 percent of college students are female ; many campuses, like mine , have a gender imbalance, with the student body over 60 percent women and less than 40 percent men.

Will they have to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19? Will we see remote learning play a major role this year, as it did last year? How can we keep classrooms safe while the delta variant seems to be running rampant and vaccination rates lag behind national goals?
