Creating the 21st Century Campus: Innovation in higher education through collaboration

Fri, 26 Oct 2018 09:35:01 -0700

As the future of higher education unfolds, institutions are being forced to rethink their decades- or even centuries-old models of learning, research, administration, and student life. Forward-thinking institutions are replacing traditional approaches in these areas with more collaborative ones made possible through technological advances. These collaborative educational models remove traditional barriers of the classroom and the campus, and allow for stronger, more flexible connections among students, professors, researchers, administrators, and other stakeholders.

This paper outlines what collaborative technologies and approaches work at universities, how universities have effectively deployed these programs and innovations, and the positive effects that have resulted from the new innovations. The impact is described in depth for all major aspects of campus life, including academic, research, student, and administrative life.

How to Effectively Coach New Teachers

Tue, 01 May 2018 14:05:01 -0700

Although “year one” is the new educator’s first time delivering instruction, it’s also most likely the student’s only year to master the content. Early success is critical because the faster new teachers master their technique, the more quickly students can learn and develop their own skills.

Our nation is currently experiencing an overall “greening” of its teaching workforce as more teachers have fewer years of experience than ever before. This is why education expert Paul Bambrick-Santoyo believes we need to shift focus from teacher evaluation to coaching—putting less emphasis on what teachers did yesterday and more effort into making sure they succeed today, tomorrow, and in the future.

In fact, when schools and districts invest in meaningful leadership and support for their first-year educators, these new teachers are significantly more likely to remain in the profession.

Learn the principles Bambrick-Santoyo says are key to successful teacher coaching.
