There are few topics in college access and higher education that inspire as much conviction from opposing sides as standardized tests. Over the last few years, many people have come to believe that such tests are at the root of education inequity. Opponents of tests have argued that removing tests from college admissions is the primary way to expand access.

Riley Campbell isn’t one of those aspiring educators who always dreamed of leading her own classroom or who played school with her friends growing up. For a while, she actually thought she might go into the hospitality industry — and pursued a related career and technical education (CTE) pathway at her high school. But a series of unexpected events led her to reconsider her plans.

A point I tried to make on our Politix episode with Will Stancil is that progressive-minded people — and particularly progressive-minded media figures — have a certain ideological investment in the promotion of bad vibes. Younger left-wing people are notably more depressed than politically conservative ones, which may be partially selection effect, but I think is driven by the fact that so much progressive messaging about the world is marked by negativity and doomerism.

Note: In 2007–2008, the author was the principal investigator for an NSF-funded study of Taumako voyaging. This incident occurred toward the end of 2008. Waves were breaking over the gunwales of our dugout canoes. We were tired and preparing to call it a night. Luck had not been on our side. I’d spent seven months on Taumako, a Polynesian outcropping in the southeastern Solomon Islands.

Adam Boxer has annoyed me. His most recent blog post unpick s the issues caused by unwise group level announcements and I found it challenging. A lot of what he identified as problems is present in my teaching, and it made me see there are issues I didn’t know I had. That’s annoying because it requires a response. Here’s a few things I say to classes in lessons and the reasons that aren’t necessary.

Mireya Barrera no quería pelear. Durante años, se sentó en las reuniones con los docentes de educación especial de su hijo, luchando por mantener una sonrisa mientras entendía poco de lo que decían. En las ocasiones poco comunes en que se pedía ayuda a otros docentes que hablaban el idioma de Barrera, el español, las conversaciones seguían siendo vacilantes porque no eran intérpretes calificados.

Not anytime soon, as I argue in my Bloomberg column , here is one of the arguments: The desire to diversify is another limiting force. Once you have a considerable sum of money, it makes sense to spread your assets widely. Gates, for example, sold a good deal of Microsoft stock early on, presumably with diversification as a motive. At the time it seemed like an obviously good idea.

Embracing Our Neanderthal Roots In a fascinating twist of evolutionary history, a recent study 1 challenges our understanding of the relationship between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. The commonly held belief that we diverged from our heavy-browed cousins around 500,000 to 650,000 years ago is being reconsidered. The latest estimate proposes a much more recent split, just 408,000 years ago, suggesting a far more intimate connection than previously thought.

Our schools operate at a rapid pace as they are dynamic environments with a number of moving parts. As leaders, we are continually attending to matters of teaching and learning, making sure our curricula are rigorous and standards-based, checking in on culture and learning outcomes using data to measure results…and much more. Undeniably, there is a long list of priorities.

A march was held recently through the streets of Norfolk. This is going to have a significant negative effect on a whole range of habitats, including a colony of rare barbastelle bats.

Flat places seem hardly to count as places. They’re just the gaps between landmarks. If people think about flatlands at all, it’s usually to call them boring. Nothing to look at, nothing to focus on, no hidden places to discover. To be flat is to be dull: a cut-and-dried equation. I've got a copy of 'A Flat Place' by Noreen Massud. Check out the GeoLibrary for some more.

Some people give the opinion that it is overly concerned with identity politics and that it is dividing rather than unifying people while others assert that it is too derogatory towards men and is fostering an atmosphere of hostility.

Will AI literacy soon become as important a subject to teach in schools as reading, writing and math? Many education leaders think so, as ChatGPT and other new generative AI tools sweep into daily life. After all, it’s not every day that a technology comes along that is widely compared to the printing press in terms of how influential it could be. And there is an emerging push to bring AI literacy to schools and colleges.
