Air Force veteran who has worked as both a police officer and an operations analyst at the Department of Homeland Security, was pursuing a master’s degree when he decided to enroll in UIC’s Emergency Management and Resilience Planning certificate program. Sambanis said it is likely the UIC team was able to secure the grant from the Justice Department because of its data-driven approach to helping the schools improve their systems. Department of Justice, is funding a new experimental program from the University of Illinois Chicago that aims to help schools optimize their violence prevention strategies. Kyle Block, associate principal of Woodland Elementary School, worked to get the new program implemented in his district. “We’re trying to understand what resources they have, and then from there, we’re going make suggestions on which parts of their programs could be more robust, whether it’s officer training, behavioral interventions from school environment specialists or better technology for reporting,” said Sambanis, adjunct assistant professor of environmental and occupational health sciences.

The Ministry is pleased with the first few weeks of school and continue to observe and correct matters as they arise through engagement with the Recovery and Development Agency, Contractors and the Maintenance Unit in the Ministry of Education. Added to that the impact of the floods and hurricanes of 2017 on school infrastructure across the Territory, especially at the Elmore Stoutt High School was unimaginable. Adorothy Turnbull building was crucial to the resumption of school after the devastation of 2017.

"The DepEd is not blind to the reality that there is a need to build and repair classrooms to accommodate the growing number of learners," Duterte said.

DepEd’s latest data on electricity supply that 98% of schools have access to electricity, as of 2020. More than half or 52% of the 1,200 respondents said that the lack of classrooms should be immediately addressed by DepEd, followed by inadequate school materials and a lack of teachers. "The DepEd is not blind to the reality that there is a need to build and repair classrooms to accommodate the growing number of learners," Duterte added. "We commit to closing the remaining gaps in school infrastructure with policies to eliminate corruption, and insulate the allocation of school building funds from politicization," she said. To address the logistical difficulties in building more classrooms, Duterte said that DepEd has established a separate strand — or group within the department — for school infrastructure and facilities. "The lack of school infrastructure and resources to support the ideal teaching process is the most pressing issue pounding the Philippine basic education," said Duterte.

For 50 ninth graders, showing up to school this fall meant taking part in an experiment. The students had enrolled in the latest effort by Sal Khan, ...

And for Khan, it’s the first step in delivering on his larger vision of what he calls “a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere.” Also, in Barbour’s view, most virtual charters don’t expose students to the perspectives that you’d get in public education. But the model seems overly focused on a corporate understanding of education, he argues, devoid of the exposure to the diverse perspectives you get in a typical public setting. Meanwhile, online charter schools enroll about three to five times the proportion of gifted students, he adds. The school’s leaders plan to admit a couple of hundred 6-12 students over the next three to four years. [Khan World School](https://asuprep.asu.edu/khan-world-school/) pitches itself as a way for self-motivated students to break out of the traditional classroom. “And when you look at their actual performance, full-time, online programs performed quite miserably compared to the brick-and-mortar counterparts,” Barbour says. “The reality is corporations are not beholden to students,” Barbour adds. Those talks led to a partnership with ASU Prep that opened up access to the school’s Arizona charter. But performance for those schools is often poor, with [one federal report](https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-104444) suggesting that students in virtual charter schools average 25 percent lower scores on math assessments than traditional schools. During talks with a K-12 public charter school in Phoenix called Arizona State University Preparatory Academy, Khan thought he’d found a way to bring quality education to top students all over the world. But with this one, Khan is really swinging for the fences.

Since the shooting, the boy has been in a hospital receiving the “treatment he needs," it said. We will regret our absence on this day for the rest of our lives,” the statement said.

Thomas Britton speaks about concerns, how he’s feeling, and what changes he feels needs to happen as the school reopens Monday. Now, three weeks later, the school is reopening. The school board last week terminated the superintendent and the principal of Richneck Elementary School has since left.

Thomas Walsh discusses the efforts to redevelop the Irish primary school curriculum with a focus on whole-child development.

While different in many ways, the seven systems bear remarkable similarities in their efforts to (re)build education systems—each is working in policy contexts pressing for academic quality and equity, while also facing additional incentives to support holistic student development. Second, the redevelopment process has positioned the entire education system as a “learning system,” conceptualizing all stakeholders as both contributors and learners in the reform journey. [[1]](#footnote-1) While the redevelopment process focuses on all aspects of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, a particular focus is placed on elements relating to whole-child development.

The partnership plans to use the funding to transform the three schools into full-service community schools. Department of Education announced $63 million in Full-Service Community Schools grants to 42 entities. “These schools serve a culturally rich, dynamic community, with dedicated families seeking ways to be more engaged and supportive of their child’s education,” the application states.

Students were greeted by a line of police officers and other adults who gave them high-fives as they walked into the school.

The officer was not at Richneck at the time of the shooting. Police said the handgun was legally purchased by the boy's mother. "I want to make sure the teachers who cannot handle that stress because of what happened, that they are taken care of."

Students at Richneck Elementary School navigated new safety protocols as they returned to classes Monday for the first time since a 6-year-old student ...

Last week, a lawyer representing the injured teacher alleged that school administrators were warned multiple times by staff who expressed concerns that the student had a gun and was making threats to people the day of the shooting. Asked Monday whether school administrators or staff could face charges in connection to the incident, Drew would not comment. The school will be limiting visitors during this first week of instruction to allow staff “the opportunity to establish routines and procedures with students,” the email states. “What has been reported to the union is that, in his kindergarten days, he was seen choking a teacher,” Newport News Education Association James Graves said in the interview with CNN’s Brian Todd. Since the shooting, the school board has held several meetings as it grapples with how to handle the incident in the face of backlash from frustrated parents. this is probably going to be the safest school in the area for a good long while,” Thomas Britton told CNN. As part of his disability care plan, a family member usually went to class with him, but he was not accompanied the day of the incident, they said. The school has been closed since January 6, when a 6-year-old student allegedly shot first grade teacher Abby Zwerner, firing a bullet through her hand and into her chest, according to police. He was informed of the choking incident after the January shooting, he said. “There was a lot of smiles, a lot of high-fives, some fist bumps going on,” Newport News Police Chief Steve R. “We had a lot of officers here.

A genuine commitment to championing greater equity, diversity and inclusion in business education demands a paradigm shift, says Arnold Longboy.

They are likely to be more relaxed, more engaged in the interview process and better able to visualise a future with your school. There is no easy way to transform business education into the wholly diverse and inclusive sector we know it can and should be. Consider introducing business education and your school even earlier and make the case for how business can be a force for good. Next summer, we will offer a long-weekend summer school on sustainability, where young people and people who weren’t considering business education can sample the business school experience first-hand. Ensure your recruitment and admissions teams have the skills to deliver on your strategy and buy in to the vision. Pursue partnerships with individuals and organisations who share a similar EDI vision to your own and recognise the transformational power of education. The programme has an explicit aim to increase the proportion of women in senior leadership roles in business and on executive boards globally. As a key pipeline through which future business leaders are equipped with the skills to lead, business schools have a unique opportunity – and a responsibility – to be part of the solution. Flagship student-led conferences, such as those delivered each year by our Women in Business Club and Out in Business Club, send a signal to prospective students from under-represented backgrounds that business education is for all. There’s no prescribed path – you can’t just buy a list of disadvantaged young people to market to and hope for the best. The process begins before someone even considers your school or a business education at all. Having followed our graduates’ contribution to business and public life over many years, it’s unsurprising that I put up a robust defence of business education.

In a recent study, children returning to school earlier following a concussion experienced reduced symptom burdens at 14 days postinjury.

Overall, significant associations between early RTS and reduced average symptom levels 14 days postinjury were recorded in individuals aged 8 to 12 years and those aged 13 to 17 years. About 54% of participants experienced an early RTS, and about 46% experienced a late RTS. The Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory (PCSI) was used to report symptom severity. The recent study also required a valid and specific RTS date, with children whose injury occurred during common school closure periods excluded. Data was gathered from the Predicting Persistent Postconcussion Problems in Pediatrics study, examining pediatric patients following concussion. Studies have found 72% of children will miss at least 1 day of school, with many absent for 2 to 5 days.

In the Ocean Guardian School Program partners with K-12 schools in Alaska to educate students to participate in conservation efforts.

In September, 22 Dimond students rented a bus and chartered a boat on a cold and rainy day to clean up more than 118 pounds of marine debris from Logging Camp Cove, a remote beach near Whittier, Walker said. The program is also meant to continue on its own even after schools complete their year in the program — with or without financial assistance. As for success, Walker was very enthusiastic about the work her students accomplished. Trifari was involved with establishing the program in Alaska high schools through the Sea Grant. Please see our republishing guidelines for use of photos and graphics. The students also looked at watersheds in Alaska. So to us, you know, raising up ocean stewards from little kids so that they start caring at a young age will help make them care more as adults too.” I guess the big dream would be to have an Alaska Ocean Garden overall school district.” She has been working with students as a fellow through the Alaska Sea Grant program. These pathways are: marine debris, strategies known as “the six r’s” (refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, rot and recycle), watershed restoration, school habitats and energy and ocean health.

Lilly Binion should be starting year 4, but she's been left without an education as the department tries to close her school without warning.

If the school is not closed then it's open. Ms Binion will continue to send her daughter to the school daily in the hope that a teacher is supplied. "She doesn't understand why she can't go to school. She was offered compensation to unenrol her daughter from the school and relocate her to a new one, but Ms Binion said she had no plans of doing that. "There's no grey area.

The birth rate in Sheffield has reduced since its peak between 2002 and 2012, a report says.

This increase or 'bulge' in population initially put pressure on the primary sector, but now the sector is experiencing a surplus of places. "The current city-wide picture for secondary school places forecasts a potential deficit of places across the city from 2020-2024, reaching a high point in 2023/24, after which a surplus is forecast to develop in some parts of the city." Demand for school places in Sheffield is declining and could lead to a surplus of supply, a report suggests.

Lexington's Bryan Station High School has suddenly fired its track & field coaching staff, leaving parents and student-athletes wondering what's next.

School-aged children faced significant learning loss during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, data shows.

"Kids only have so much capacity to take in new material to learn new skills," Betthauser said in the briefing. Ohayon said her biggest takeaway as a science teacher was on the "importance of connecting with students." Experts said there needs to be a collaborative effort to critically assess how these gaps can be addressed. But even with these measures in place she said it was still difficult to achieve the same level of focus among her students. "My own view is that tutoring is the best intervention. It's hard to balance additional instruction against the risks of overloading kids with work. Setting disciplinary boundaries and simulating the classroom environment in a completely new virtual platform was not easy, she told ABC News. And it's not clear what the alternatives could have been, experts said. The new data joins a bigger-picture evaluation of how the disruptions caused by the pandemic — like school closures, widespread illness, and social changes — affected children's learning. "There's a lot that can be done," Betthauser said in the briefing, "I think it's important that we're honest about the size of the problem and try to match that." These deficits remained constant for the approximately 2.5-year time period studied. School closings likely impacted more than just educational progress.
