Ever noticed how standard education systems often overlook the power of the creative arts in education? Let me paint you a picture of why this matters. Imagine a building where kids aren't just taught the ABCs and 123s but also get to express themselves through painting, music, and drama. It's not just about doodling—it's about nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that are essential in today's world. Sadly, many standard systems are cutting back on arts programs, leaving kids to miss out on these valuable experiences. ibii is here to fill in the gap. To be a partner with the schools and work WITH them as a TEAM! vulnerable If your child is not enrolled in an ibii program, you are leaving them vulnerable to this NECESSARY gap in their development. Set your child up for success next school year and enroll them in a ibii program! https://lnkd.in/gqxXdxVH BE BOLD. BE INSPIRED. BE IBII!

🌟 Standing out from the curriculum chaos! Virginia proposes the "Virginia Learner Equitable Access Platform," an online hub for top-notch educational resources state-wide. 🌟 With $7.1 million proposed for FY 2021, this initiative echoes similar moves in other states to ensure teachers have access to top-quality digital content and learning opportunities. 🌟 State-led efforts like this are crucial amidst the overwhelming array of online resources, ensuring educators can sift through and choose the best for their classrooms. 🌟 As technology eases content creation and sharing, states stepping up to guide teachers in selecting quality materials is a much-needed beacon in the education landscape. 🌟 State interventions are becoming key as the traditional trend of state control over curriculum adoption evolves. With fewer "adoption states" now, initiatives like Virginia's signal a shift towards supporting teachers in navigating the curriculum maze. https://lnkd.in/gT8JMSKf

Music teacher support comes in different packages. Many times, it comes in the form of "one and done" PD days that (depending on when they are scheduled) have little impact on teaching and learning. As a profession, we're on content overload, but fall short of support needed to help teachers meaningfully do anything with the content as they try to realistically apply new ideas to their own specific context. If I had a magic wand, I'd ensure that all schools and all music teachers have access to continued, consistent support beyond the one-hour or half-day workshop. In a per throughout an entire school year. One full day, two days, six months, a full school year. It's all a step in the right direction. And it works. That's really the cure for the common PD. Sustained support. Regular accountability. Collaborative problem-solving with each other with no shame attached to the peaks and valleys that really come with the territory of teaching in schools. Sure, I've given workshops and various professional developments the "one and done" way. Hundreds of times. I enjoy it. Teachers enjoy it. Everyone walks away with something, and that makes me happy. But the sustained PD and support I give to the fortunate schools and organizations who can be flexible to approve such a model of teacher development and support is much more enjoyable and even more satisfying for everyone. And it's one heck of a celebration at the end of the year when we celebrate all of the growth, successes, and triumphs. Now that's just fun. 😀 Wishing you all a magic wand to make your professional development dreams come true!

The newly released 2024 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report | Teaching and Learning Edition is an essential resource for institutions working to keep up. Public perceptions of the value of #postsecondaryeducation continue their downward slide, putting the onus on #institutions to demonstrate their worth and find solutions to #decliningenrollments. At the same time, evolving capabilities like #generativeAI promise to change #teachingandlearning in ways we have yet to fully understand or prepare for. Expert panelists, including WCET's Van L. Davis, wrestled with these present and looming challenges for #highereducation, and this report summarizes the results of those discussions—serving as one vantage point on where our future may be headed.

Coming soon at the University of North Dakota is an Alignment Standards verification mark for courses through our institutional reviews, which covers the six Alignments Standards. We’re starting small and implementing a strong course foundation to build around. After we have several courses that have earned that mark, we will continue on with our own Essential Standards verification mark, again utilizing the QM Quality Matters rubric. We will continue scaffolding as we work towards courses that have met the full rubric, 8 General Standards including all 44 Specific Review Standards. We’re raising the bar! Its a great time to be UND! #undleads #foreverund #qualityimplementation #coursemapping #TeachingTransformationandDevelopmentAcacdemy #doesanyonereadthese
