Hello, I’m Tom Vander Ark. When I think about the future of education, one name that consistently comes to mind is Corey Mohn and the incredible work happening at the CAPS Network. So, when I had the chance to sit down with Corey at the Getting Smart and Britebound Pathways event, I knew we’d dive into a powerful conversation about unbundling pathways, student agency, and the future of profession-based learning. There’s something truly inspiring about how CAPS empowers students to chart their own course, blending exploration with tangible, real-world experiences. Corey described CAPS as the difference between building a pre-designed…

A recent visit to Orlando to present at the FETC conference marked a milestone in my education career. Thirty years ago, I stood in front of an audience at the California League of Middle Schools Conference in San Diego, delivering a session on gamification in sixth-grade social studies. It was my first foray into public speaking.  Since that event in San Diego, I have spoken publicly more than 250 times in 15 countries. The venue and topic have changed, the audiences have waxed and waned, the technology has become more interactive, but the thrill of exchanging ideas with teachers is…

Key points: When students learn to read in the early elementary years, developing phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and blending typically take priority. Another essential component of fluent reading, however, is learning to read high-frequency and irregular words. While most phonics programs do address these words, instruction often stops at introduction or, at best, includes a single exposure activity embedded within a larger lesson. As the Science of Reading continues to gain traction, educators must look beyond repetition and memorization and adopt strategies that help students understand why words sound the way they do. Before outlining five such strategies, it is…

Over the past 18 months, I’ve had the privilege of exploring the intricacies of Indigenous education and leadership alongside my co-host, Jason Cummins. Together, we’ve delved into the nuances of culturally responsive classrooms, educational equity, and how Indigenous communities are fostering cultural preservation through innovative practices. These conversations have been both inspiring and transformative, and today’s episode continues that journey. I’m excited to welcome Kelly Berry, an enrolled citizen of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma with Kiowa and Choctaw affiliations, to the podcast. Kelly is a Mellon Impact Post-Doctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the University of Oklahoma in the Department of Native…

Key points: One day, something clicked for Jacob Griffin’s students. Mr. Griffin, a teacher at the NAF Academy of Engineering at Southeast Raleigh High School in North Carolina, found that students who had previously been going through the motions were coming to class more engaged, more driven, and more confident about the potential futures that lay beyond high school.  Across the country, hundreds of teachers have seen these same changes: Students who come to class excited about what they are going to achieve each and every day.  What changed? These teachers brought work-based learning into the classroom. They were not…

By: Irfan Ahmed, Dean at Sohar University, Oman  AI is no longer a futuristic add-on to education. It has quietly become infrastructural. From adaptive learning platforms and analytics dashboards to generative lesson-planning tools and automated feedback systems, AI now shapes how teaching happens on an everyday basis. Much of the public and academic discussion has focused on what AI can do for students: personalize learning, close gaps, accelerate progress. Far less attention has been paid to what AI is doing to teachers, not in terms of job loss, but in terms of cognition, judgment, and professional growth.  Our recent qualitative study set out to explore…

Key points: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits discrimination against students and other individuals with disabilities, is far less visible than the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in school districts.  Largely neglected in comparison to the IDEA, it poses growing problems and hidden costs on the general education side of the ledger.  In comparison to students with IEPs under the IDEA, students eligible under only the overlapping coverage of Section 504 are the responsibility of general education. The problems and costs start with mis-identification under Section 504’s definition of disability, which is broader than that under the…
