While all feedback has a big impact on students and learning, some kinds of feedback can actually lower interest, effort or persistence. Wise and mastery oriented feedback can build student motivation, persistence and, ultimately, achievement.
Learn more about the best practices for inquiry science, a question-based method of learning science which is proven to motivate and help students understand science concepts more thoroughly.
Universal Design for Learning, or UDL is an educational framework to make learning success possible for all students. UDL calls for creating learning environments that provide multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. How does this apply in inquiry science? Explore here!
This resource is intended to house videos with K-12 teachers on best practices in online teaching. The intended audience of these videos is teacher candidates who are collecting data for field or clinilcal experience.
Collaboration is an essential part of science. Real scientists work in communities, share questions, processes, and findings as part of a community working toward new discoveries. Science collaboration in the classroom is no different. Discover more about collaboration best practices and how to use them in your inquiry science classroom.
Short Description:
Higher education institutions are realizing that students want and need flexible options for attending and participating in courses. During the COVID pandemic, the world saw that many jobs could be done online. We also saw how many college and university courses and programs could be completed online and still produce quality graduates. This set a precedent for employees to expect more flexible options upon their return to the workplace. It also set a precedent for students to request more flexible options upon their return to campuses. Educational institutions can reach more students by offering flexible learning options and therefore, increase revenue and maintain growth, so it is an attractive option. Students prefer flexible course design because it allows them to customize a work-school-life balance that will support them in meeting their personal, work, and academic goals. This book asks questions about whether or not trimodal flexible (HyFlex) courses are worth their costs and challenges and suggests that a bimodal flexible (ByFlex) course design, with fewer challenges, will still meet the students' needs for flexibility and, therefore, may be a better choice. Flexible learning is happening and is probably here to stay!

Unify Inclusive Technology Decision-Making
Share:
Individualized educational plans (IEPs) provide a student’s education team with clarity on what a child participates in and how a child engages within an educational program. IEP team members, including students, families, educators, direct service providers, and building administrators, serve as the decision-making body for these supports and services. Technology staff can also consider these plans as a foundation for how technology will support the learner to access the general curriculum.
When the technology needs of students extend beyond the district-wide technology hardware and software resources, the interoperability between the laptop or tablet and the assistive technologies become critical. Device interoperability means information can be sent to and received from an array of devices, including assistive technologies such as screen readers, and other accessibility tools seamlessly.
Students with physical or sensory (visual or hearing) support needs may require such specific assistive technologies. Such devices include single switches, expanded keyboards, screen readers, or captioning programs. TechMatrix is an online database provided by the American Institute for Research that provides more information about available assistive technologies. In addition, some students may have tools such as digital pens or VR sets written in their IEPs to support learning opportunities. Similarly, such tools should sync seamlessly with the student devices.
Actions to unify inclusive technology decision-making with interoperable assistive technologies include:
Collaborate across the IT, EdTech, and AT leadership teams to choose devices and ensure the interoperability of such devices.
Require the purchase of accessible, interoperable technologies by including such requirements in requests for proposals (RFPs) and district contracts. Ensure all partners, such as state educational agencies, regional educational service agencies, and non-profits understand and mimic these practices.
Include individuals with disabilities in procurement and purchasing decisions, such as students, parents, organizational partners, or community volunteers.
This Module outlines Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), a strategy for helping students to improve their reading comprehension skills. In CSR, students work together in small groups to apply comprehension strategies as they read text from a content area, such as social studies or science (est. completion time: 1 hour).

Short Description:
CLEJHE is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal of case studies intended to aid in the preparation of leaders at all levels of higher education.
Long Description:
Cases on Leadership for Equity and Justice in Higher Education (CLEJHE) is an open-access, open education resource journal that publishes peer-reviewed cases for use by leadership preparation programs and those involved in developing leaders for post-secondary institutions. Through an equity lens, the journal strives to publish timely and highly relevant cases that involve and address significant puzzles of practice facing leaders at all levels in higher education. Cases provide narratives, exhibits, and teaching notes that seek to inform and offer suggestions to enhance the practice of the learners and leaders within our community of practice.
CLEJHE is a collaborative project at the University of Colorado Denver involving ThinqStudio and the School of Education and Human Development programs for Leadership for Educational Equity in Higher Education and Learning, Design, and Technology (LDT). The journal editors are doctoral students from the Leadership for Educational Equity in Higher Education program.
