Podcasts about learning outcomes

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, your hosts talk with Kristen DeBruler — Assistant Director of the Michigan Virtual Learning Research Institute — about what makes online learning work for K-12 students, and what quietly undermines it. Drawing on survey data from over a thousand virtual teachers and fresh findings on student and teacher AI perceptions, her work reveals where the conventional promises of online learning diverge from what the data actually shows. The episode centers on a tension that practitioners rarely name directly: the flexibility that makes online learning valuable for some students can work against those who are still developing the self-regulation skills to use it well.Together, the hosts and Kristen explore how a researcher inside a state virtual learning organization sets and pursues a research agenda — including the unusual advantage of having direct access to student data. They examine common failure modes in classroom-level research, particularly how vague research questions leave teachers vulnerable to the biases they're trying to surface. Kristen walks through her team's findings on the gap between how students and teachers define acceptable AI use, and why that ambiguity is already showing up in the classroom. The conversation turns to teacher feedback as the connective tissue of asynchronous online learning — and what the data shows about what makes it work and what makes it hollow. And Kristen makes a pointed case about applying adult learning research to K-12 populations: the data doesn't transfer as cleanly as the field sometimes assumes, and the consequences land on students who are still building the executive functioning skills that adult learners already have. Her pacing research is illustrative: students who cross unit boundaries — not just move around within one — end up with final grades 9.5 points lower on average, a gap large enough that teachers should treat it as a warning signal, not background noise.Key topics:Researcher role inside a state virtual learning organizationSetting a research agenda: legislative directives vs. internal needsAvoiding bias in classroom-level researchThe AI acceptable-use gap between students and teachersTeacher feedback as the primary relationship-building mechanism in async coursesWhat makes feedback substantive (personal, formative, actionable) vs. hollowAI-generated feedback and trust erosion in online learningStudent pacing deviation and its effect on learning outcomesExecutive functioning support for K-12 online learnersCautions in applying adult learning research to adolescentsLinks & ResourcesMichigan Virtual: https://michiganvirtual.orgMichigan Virtual Digital Backpack (blog): https://michiganvirtual.org/blog/Michigan Virtual research publications: https://michiganvirtual.org/research/publications/Cuccolo, K. & DeBruler, K.

The most important part of your surgery isn't plugged in, mounted, or calibrated. It's the person standing beside you. Have you ever dreaded walking into a beautiful practice with lovely patients — purely because of who you share the surgery with? What do you actually do, in the moment, when your assistant rolls their eyes at a request for rubber dam? And should you be friends with your assistant at all — or does that cross a line you'll regret? This is an Interference Cast — a non-clinical but deeply practical episode — with Dr. Sarah Braun, a dentist in Australia and a fellow Protrusive Guidance member who DM'd to suggest this very topic. No course, no book, nothing to sell: just two clinicians comparing notes (and the odd scar) on the one relationship that quietly shapes your whole working life. It sits inside this month's theme of the relationships that support your career. https://youtu.be/OyztRyPpcHM Watch IC075 on YouTube What You'll Take From This Episode The full breakdown is in the Premium Notes; here's the shape of the thinking that runs through the episode: Engagement is the whole game — the assistant relationship sets the mood of the room, the patient's experience, and whether good people stay. Speak their language — appreciation only lands if it's delivered in the form that particular person actually values. Appreciation is a verb — specific, named praise lands far harder than a vague “good job.” Let them, let me — you don't control how someone reacts in the moment; you only control your response to it. Lead the room — dentistry is a performance, and the room takes its emotional cue from whoever is leading it.

Quais são as profissões mais ameaçadas pela inteligência artificial? E de que forma a IA pode transformar o ensino? Bernardo Caldas e Hugo van der Ding analisam os sinais da automação no mercado de trabalho e na educação das gerações futuras.Nos últimos três anos, as vagas para juniores em áreas mais expostas à IA caíram 30% a 40%, à medida que tarefas repetitivas, analíticas e administrativas são substituídas por algoritmos. Mas estarão apenas os empregos menos qualificados em risco?Neste episódio, o especialista em IA e o comunicador observam que também as profissões altamente especializadas estão ameaçadas – a começar, ironicamente, pelos engenheiros tecnológicos, mas atingindo, igualmente, advogados, consultores e médicos, sobretudo em especialidades de diagnóstico.Mas nem tudo são más notícias: numa época em que o desemprego se mantém em níveis historicamente baixos, a IA também pode ter impactos positivos na educação, ao democratizar o acesso à informação entre diferentes estratos sociais.A dupla discute ainda os desafios e oportunidades desta revolução — e porque é que o pensamento crítico, uma visão integrada do mundo e a «motivação intrínseca» serão competências decisivas no futuro.Para acompanhar a velocidade das transformações em curso, não perca este episódio do [IN]Pertinente.LINKS E REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISBASTANI et al., «Generative AI without guardrails can harm learning: Evidence from high school mathematics», (PNAS 122(26), 2025)BRYNJOLFSSON, CHANDAR & CHEN, «Canaries in the Coal Mine?» (Stanford Digital Economy Lab, 2025)DELL'ACQUA, MOLLICK et al., «Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier» (Harvard/BCG, 2023)KESTIN et al., «AI tutoring outperforms in-class active learning: an RCT», (Scientific Reports, 2025)DE SIMONE et al., «From Chalkboards to Chatbots: Evaluating the Impact of Generative AI on Learning Outcomes in Nigeria», (World Bank WPS 11125, 2025)ACEMOGLU, Autor & JOHNSON, «The Direction of AI», (NBER WP 34854, 2026)GARICANO-RAYO, «AI and the Expertise Leverage Ratio», (CEPR DP 20634, 9/9, 2025)LEE et al.

If you showed the same bitewing to 10 dentists, would they all agree on whether to pick up the drill? Why does the word monitoring mean nothing to a patient — and how does swapping it for active surveillance change everything from your notes to your indemnity to your government policy meetings? Is it overtreatment to act on an E2 lesion — or is “watch and wait” actually the lazy answer dressed up as minimally invasive? And what should you actually do with AI caries detection that flags shadows your eye doesn't see? In this episode, Professor Avijit Banerjee — Professor of Cariology & Operative Dentistry at King's College London, Honorary Consultant at Guy's & St Thomas', and First Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the College of General Dentistry — sits down with Jaz for what is genuinely one of the most important caries conversations on the podcast. Part one of two. Avijit doesn't do soft answers. The drill-fill-bill model is broken. “Monitoring” needs to go. “Treatment planning” is antiquated terminology medics dropped twenty-five years ago. And AI in caries diagnosis? Useful — but the moment it gets things wrong, you are the one with indemnity, not the software. What you walk away with is a framework (MIOC), a decision filter (three factors that decide whether to pick up a bur), and a vocabulary shift you can implement tomorrow. Part two covers peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite, stepwise excavation, and managing caries in xerostomia. https://youtu.be/YriLo8_hXNw Watch PDP268 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Delete the Word “Monitor” from Your Vocabulary Stop saying monitor. Start saying active surveillance. ⚠️ Active surveillance must not mean passive delay — document your reasoning, risk assessment, and what would trigger intervention. ✅ Explain it to patients as structured, proactive care: clinical checks, radiographs, risk review, behaviour support, and timely action if things change. Key Takeaways Minimum intervention oral care is bigger than minimally invasive dentistry. MIOC is prevention-based, person-focused, susceptibility-related, and delivered by the whole oral healthcare team. MID is only one part of MIOC: operative dentistry when a tooth actually needs intervention. The four MIOC domains are: identify the problem, prevent lesions and control disease, provide minimally invasive operative care, then reassess. A care plan is more useful than a treatment plan because it includes justification, prevention, behaviour change, and review. Ask patients what matters to you, not just what's the matter with you. Cavitation, cleansability, and lesion activity should guide whether to intervene operatively. A cavitated lesion that cannot be cleaned is much more likely to remain active. Smooth surface lesions may sometimes be made cleansable without conventional drilling. Restorations are not just about filling holes; they help recreate a cleansable tooth surface. There is no single perfect caries detection technology — clinical examination and good radiographs remain fundamental. If using NIRI, fluorescence, scanners, or AI, understand how the technology works and where it fails. AI should support diagnosis, not replace clinical judgement. For uncertain early lesions, triangulate: clinical findings, radiographs, risk, technology, and patient factors. Proximal resin infiltration has a role in the right patient and situation, especially as part of a wider prevention-led strategy.

Teddy Svoronos describes how today's agentic AI changes what and how we teach on episode 617 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode An AI agent is an LLM that runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal. -Teddy Svoronos The process of having a task, write a report, use a tool, web search, and do it over and over again until you feel like you’ve gotten the full sort of spectrum of things—that I think is what an agent really is. -Teddy Svoronos These LLMs are now becoming like this intermediary between me and the actual content. And so I’m optimizing in a different way than I used to. -Teddy Svoronos I think there’s an analogy with these tools that I’ve been thinking of as cognitive debt, which is that as you offload to them, there are things that they’ll do that you won’t quite understand. -Teddy Svoronos Resources Agentic Everything: How the latest set of models changes things, by Teddy Svoronos Course Corrections: Redesigning my course for AI, by Teddy Svoronos Pray, Mr. Babbage, by Teddy Svoronos Episode 590: Deep Background – Using AI as a Co-Reasoning Partner with Mike Caulfield Episode 234: A New Lens for Learning Outcomes with Maria Andersen José Antonio Bowen’s AI Detector False Positive Calculator Episode 605: Teaching with AI – The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Future with José Bowen MacWhisper The Checklist Manifesto, by Atul Gawande

In this episode, host Mike Palmer welcomes back Dr. Eddie Watson to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in higher education. Following the release of the second edition of his book, Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning, Eddie shares insights from working with nearly 200 campus teams on transitioning from AI-resistant assignments to AI-integrated pedagogy. Here's the link to Eddie's first appearance. Key Takeaways: Beyond Academic Integrity: While cheating remains a concern, the conversation is shifting toward AI literacy as an essential learning outcome to prepare students for an AI-integrated workforce. The "Calculus" of Cheating: In high-stakes environments, students often feel a competitive disadvantage if they don't use AI. Pedagogical Transparency: If faculty ban AI for specific assignments, they must explain the "why" (e.g., building foundational skills) to encourage student compliance Backward Design: Eddie advocates for starting with the desired learning outcome and engineering assignments and instruction from there. Learning to Write vs. Writing to Learn: AI's role should differ based on whether the goal is mastering writing mechanics or using writing to process course content. Durable Skills: While technical skills like prompt engineering may change quickly, mindsets like metacognition and critical thinking remain essential. "Ground Truth" Bots: Using tools like NotebookLM or Small Language Models (SLMs) allows students to interrogate specific, vetted data sets like OER textbooks. Efficiency vs Engagement: The episode concludes with a look at the "Efficiency vs. Engagement" binary. While institutions may use AI to automate grading and increase class sizes, the real opportunity lies in reinvesting saved time into "signature pedagogies"—mentoring and fostering a sense of student belonging, which are the greatest predictors of student success.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Tami Moehring, and Allyson Mitchell welcome Cassie Bride, Director of School Programs, and Lauren Yockel, School Programs Education Specialist at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). Together, they explore how one of the nation's most renowned cultural institutions is transforming museum education through live virtual programming—making world-class art accessible to students anywhere.Museums have long been seen as places you must visit in person to truly experience their magic. But how can educators bring the depth, texture, and storytelling of art to students who may never set foot in a gallery? Traditional outreach—slideshows, static images, or “loan boxes”—often fails to capture the atmosphere, intimacy, and discovery of the real museum experience.Cassie and Lauren share how the MFA Boston reimagined its approach by taking students inside the galleries through interactive live video sessions. Using simple technology—an iPad on a mobile tripod—they bring artworks, curators, and educators directly to classrooms. Students not only see art up close but also hear the sounds of visitors and experience the living energy of the museum.They discuss how this approach:Deepens students' curiosity and contextual understanding of art.Extends the museum's mission by reaching beyond geography and accessibility barriers.Creates hybrid experiences where virtual and in-person visits enrich one another.Builds relationships—teachers and students often recognize Lauren as a “celebrity” when they visit in person!Strengthens collaboration with Boston Public Schools, ensuring alignment between curriculum, distance learning, and professional development.For educators and cultural organizations, the MFA's model offers a powerful lesson: distance learning doesn't replace the field trip—it multiplies it. Start small. Use simple, mobile setups. Focus on creating authentic connections rather than high-tech production. Whether you're teaching art, science, or history, virtual access can spark awe, equity, and engagement in ways that complement, not compete with, in-person learning.Episode Links:Museum of Fine Arts, Boston – Distance Learning ProgramsHost Links:Discover more virtual learning opportunities and resources at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Seth Fleischauer's Banyan Global Learning provides meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are the foundation for certification exams. MCQ writing by students is an evidence-based learning modality; however, studies on this strategy in graduate nursing programs are limited. In this podcast and article, Drs. Patti Griffith and Patricia Pawlow describe the outcomes of their scoping review on students writing MCQ in healthcare professions education. Writing MCQs is a valuable active learning strategy for graduate students who take high-stakes examinations. MCQ quality improves with faculty involvement. Working in small groups increases students' knowledge and positive perception of this strategy, as did exam inclusion of student-generated MCQ.

Navigating the world of instructional design can be confusing when similar-sounding concepts appear to overlap. That's exactly the challenge many ID professionals face when distinguishing between human-centered design and learner-centered design.The key differences emerge in their focus (all users versus learners only), goals (holistic experience versus learning outcomes), and methodologies. Human-centered design employs design thinking, empathy mapping, and prototyping, while learner-centered design draws from learning theories, needs assessments, and scaffolding techniques. The most effective instructional design often combines both approaches: starting broad with human-centered principles before narrowing to learner-centered strategies.Whether you're new to instructional design or looking to refine your approach, understanding when and how to apply these complementary frameworks will elevate your work. Download our interactive comparison infographic from the show notes, and share your experiences combining these approaches in your own projects. How might your current project benefit from considering both the broader human experience and specific learner needs?

They discuss the importance of AI literacy for educators and students, emphasizing the necessity of teaching foundational skills before integrating AI tools. The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in education, advocating for a thoughtful approach to its implementation.

In this conversation, Phil and Lisa explore the complexities of defining what makes a group great in a facilitation context. They discuss the role of the facilitator's ego, the subjective nature of group dynamics, and the importance of evaluating success beyond personal feelings. The dialogue emphasizes the need for facilitators to balance their own experiences with the goals of the group, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of participant engagement and learning outcomes. A great group often means the facilitator felt liked. Facilitators' egos can influence their perception of group success. Group dynamics are subjective and can vary by facilitator. Struggle in a group can lead to greater learning experiences. It's important to evaluate groups based on goals, not just feelings. Facilitators should embrace their humanity in the process. The definition of a great group can differ among facilitators. Patience and support within a group enhance the experience. Fun and challenge can coexist in group settings. Questions about group success should be more nuanced.

Joe is the Principal at Alpha School and the founder of Triliogy Software and ESW Capital. He became the youngest member of the Forbes 400 in the 1990s before vanishing from public view for two decades—only to emerge with a $1 billion bet that he can make kids learn 10x faster using AI. Joe has built an AI tutoring system so effective that students at his Alpha School literally beg not to take summer breaks, achieving 2x learning outcomes in just 2 hours with standardized test results that compete with the best of them. We dive deep into why this could be the most valuable product he's ever built, his contrarian thesis that traditional SaaS is facing AI-driven obsolescence, and how his experience buying 100+ software companies prepared him for this moonshot in a trillion-dollar market that hasn't innovated in 200 years.  For investors, this is a masterclass in deploying patient capital to rebuild broken systems from first principles, with insights on everything from regulatory moats to the intersection of AI and human psychology. As your excited skeptic, I push hard on the technology readiness, parental adoption hurdles, and whether this audacious vision can actually scale to a billion kids. Additionally, in a Colossus Profile released last week, our editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern reported, for the first time, Joe as the product guy behind Alpha School in a can't miss piece of writing.

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways  Personalized, mastery-based learning (driven by AI) can enable students to learn 10x faster, mastering material in just two hours a day and freeing up time for real-world skills, entrepreneurship, and personal interestsMotivation is essential: Kids must love school for it to be effective. The greatest motivator is giving students time back in their day, achieved by efficient mastery learning.Time-based, lecture-driven models leave knowledge gaps: Most U.S. students plateau in middle school, as traditional education pushes content too fast, resulting in a fragile “swiss-cheese” learning foundationAI's transformational role: With generative AI, obsolete textbooks and one-size-fits-all instruction are replaced by continuous, adaptive, and personalized feedback, tailored to each learner's interests and needs.Feedback and growth mindset are superpowers: Receiving and seeking feedback in school builds resilience, accelerates learning, and prepares students to thrive beyond the classroomHigh standards + high support = success and happiness: Kids grow most when challenged and held to ambitious goals with strong mentoring, even if the process is uncomfortable.Gamification and engagement: Applying video game design and motivation mechanics to education can make learning irresistible, turning hard tasks into meaningful and fun challengesNo one-size-fits-all: Multiple school types, customized daily schedules, and teaching entrepreneurship, leadership, and teamwork ensure education aligns with each child's unique strengths and ambitions.“I think this is one of the coolest projects happening in America that people are just starting to learn about.” – Patrick O'Shaughnessy on Alpha School Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest today is Joe Liemandt.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Daniel Willingham.Daniel T. Willingham is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia, known for his work applying cognitive psychology to K-16 education. He earned his B.A. from Duke University and his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Harvard University. Initially, his research focused on the brain basis of learning and memory, but he later shifted his focus to the practical applications of cognitive science in education. He is the author of several books, including Why Don't Students Like School?, When Can You Trust the Experts?, and The Reading Mind.In this fascinating conversation, we explore the science behind effective learning and memory. Dr. Willingham reveals why most adults never update their learning strategies from school, the dangerous myths that persist about memory and learning styles, and the evidence-based techniques that actually work.Key topics include:Why adults rarely update their learning approachesDebunking persistent myths about memory, learning styles, and "brain training"The illusion of knowing and why familiarity doesn't equal true understandingWhy rereading, highlighting, and copying notes are ineffectiveThe power of retrieval practice Spacing effects versus cramming When and how to use mnemonic devices like memory palaces effectivelyThe fundamental principle of matching study methods to desired outcomesWhether you're a lifelong learner, educator, or leader looking to enhance your own learning capabilities, Dr. Willingham's research-backed insights will transform how you approach acquiring and retaining new knowledge.Dr. Daniel Willingham's Books: "Why Don't Students Like School?" https://www.amazon.com/Why-Dont-Students-Like-School/dp/1119715660 "Outsmart Your Brain" https://www.amazon.com/Outsmart-Your-Brain-Learning-Hard/dp/1982167173 -Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.com Blog: https://blog.ims-online.com/ Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99 Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:15) Tool: Dr. Willingham's Journey from Neuroscience to Education(04:25) Technique: Why Adults Don't Update Their Learning Software(05:35) Tip: Overcoming Learning Overconfidence and Illusion of Knowing(09:10) Tool: Debunking Learning Styles and Common Memory Myths(11:25) Technique: Thinking About Meaning vs Mindless Repetition(14:45) Tip: Why Retrieval Practice Reigns Supreme for Learning(16:00) Tool: The Power of Overlearning and Spacing Effects(20:25) Technique: When and How to Use Mnemonic Devices Effectively(24:15) Tip: Matching Study Methods to Learning Outcomes(25:00) Conclusion#CharlesGood #DanielWillingham #TheGoodLeadershipPodcast #CognitiveScience #LearningScience #MemoryResearch #EducationalPsychology #EvidenceBasedLearning #LearningMyths #RetrievalPractice #SpacingEffect #MemoryPalace #AdultLearning #EffectiveLearning #ScienceOfLearning #LearningStrategies #MemoryTechniques #CognitivePsychology #LifelongLearning #LearningMethods

Some say AI is the future of education, but there are reasons for skepticism, especially if we limit the conversation to the US and other wealthy countries. However, for many regions of the world—particularly for many low- and middle-income countries—there is strong reason to believe that AI has the potential to be transformative. At least in theory, AI can democratize access to higher-quality instruction in a wide range of subjects and provide individualized feedback in overly large classrooms.But does this reasoning hold up in practice? How much of a difference can AI make right now? And how can we ensure that AI produces the outcomes we want? On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions, and more, with Martín De Simone. Martín De Simone is an Education Specialist at the World Bank and, along with Federico Tiberti, Maria Barron Rodriguez, Federico Manolio, Wuraola Mosuro, and Eliot Jolomi Dikoru, is the author of From Chalkboards to Chatbots: Evaluating the Impact of Generative AI on Learning Outcomes in Nigeria.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Devin Farkas discuss the evolving landscape of outdoor education, focusing on accessibility, the importance of experiential learning, and the development of leadership skills in outdoor settings. They explore the core impacts of outdoor education, including confidence building and connection with nature, while also addressing the need to shift perspectives on risk and challenge. The discussion culminates in a vision for the future of outdoor education that emphasizes reducing barriers and enhancing learning experiences through outdoor spaces.   Outdoor education should be accessible to all, not just the adventurous few. Experiential learning is key to achieving educational outcomes. Confidence, connection, and skill development are core impacts of outdoor education. The focus should be on creating meaningful experiences, not just flashy adventures. Leadership development is best achieved in low-risk environments. Facilitators should allow discomfort to foster learning opportunities. The situational leadership model can enhance group dynamics. Outdoor education can be integrated into everyday learning environments. The future of outdoor education lies in reducing barriers and enhancing accessibility.

In different organizations, sometimes learning is a punishment. If people don't do the right thing or there's a safety issue or a compliance issue, we send people to training. The other end of that spectrum is it's a reward for people. So, your top performers, key talent. So how do we  find somewhere in the middle? We're Only Human -- Episode 179In this episode of We're Only Human, host Ben Eubanks talks with learning executive and neuroscience enthusiast Hannah Conkey.

Education News Headline RoundupOver the past few weeks, there have been significant developments at the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS Ohio). On May 15, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost initiated an investigation into the allegations of a hostile takeover attempt of the $90 billion pension fund, which serves thousands of educators, by QED Systematic Solutions.Academic publishing is facing a crisis of credibility as journals close and thousands of retractions are issued in the wake of a glut of fake research papers. A study by Nature found that in 2013 there were just over 1,000 retractions compared to 2022 with 4,000 and then jumping to more than 10k in 2023. More than 8k of the retractions came from an Egyptian company called Hindawi, which is a subsidiary of Wiley; the Hindawi brand will be sunsetted and its properties absorbed into Wiley. Wiley has announced they will close 19 journals because of the rise of fake papers.A report by Spectrum News from May 14th alleges that millions of dollars in Texas taxpayer funds intended for a charter school in Odessa were diverted to support struggling Third Future charter schools network in Colorado, of which Houston Independent School District superintendent Mike Miles is founder and with whom he has recently maintained a consulting relationship.Examining the Effects of High-Stakes Standardized Tests on Learning OutcomesThis episode explores the history and impact of high-stakes standardized testing in the U.S., starting with a brief review of the No Child Left Behind Act and its legacy. Discussions include the educational goals of high-stakes tests (such as accountability and standardization), and the reasons why these tests often fall short of bettering educational outcomes for students, including curriculum narrowing and stress on students and teachers. We also delve into recent research, including a 2024 study by Maroun and Tienken, which highlights the significant influence of socioeconomic factors on test performance.Discussion QuestionsWhat are the consequences of "teaching to the test"?Why does the high-stakes testing system persist despite its criticisms?Can we design a system with standardized tests but without high-stakes consequences? What might this look like?What would it take to move school administrators and policy makers toward the idea that standardized tests should inform academic strategies instead of penalties or other punitive measures?How do we develop a system to hold educators accountable for serving students well that recognizes that a student's academic or standardized test performance is not always the best indicator of that student's learning? Would peer/student reviews play a part in this system?Sources & Resources:Ohio AG investigating alleged 'hostile takeover' inside teacher's pension fundMarch Board News | STRS OhioApril Board News | STRS OhioFebruary Board News | STRS Ohio EmployerAnswering viewer questions about Ohio's retired teachers' pension fund chaosHouston teachers union calls for Mike Miles' resignation after explosive reportHISD students plan walkout as investigation launches into state-appointed superintendent Mike MilesHISD's Mike Miles responds to 'spurious' investigation into charter school networkHISD superintendent Mike Miles accused of mishandling state education funds | CW39 HoustonHouston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles responds to allegations he diverted Texas school funds to his Colorado schoolsReport about charter schools founded by Houston ISD superintendent Mike Miles prompts calls for investigationHISD Superintendent Mike Miles responds to report he funneled TX taxpayer money to Colorado | TEA commissioner, Third Future Schools also respondDisappearing Dollars: Texas public schools missing millionsFlood of Fake Science Forces Multiple Journal Closures - WSJWiley shuts 19 scholarly journals amid AI paper mill problem • The RegisterWiley to shutter 19 journalsEvolving our portfolio in response to integrity challenges | Hindawi‘The situation has become appalling': fake scientific papers push research credibility to crisis pointSurge In Academic Retractions Should Put U.S. Scholars On NoticeScience's fake-paper problem: high-profile effort will tackle paper millsThe Pernicious Predictability of State-Mandated Tests of Academic Achievement in the United StatesStandardized Testing is Still Failing Students | NEAResearch Shows What State Standardized Tests Actually MeasureHistory of Standardized Tests - ProCon.org18 years ago, Mike Pence voted against No Child Left Behind.

There is not much I enjoy more than sitting down with one of the innovative thinkers in compliance, Carsten Tams to find out what is on his mind regarding compliance. I recently had the opportunity to do so on the topic of making compliance training memorable. Over this short five-part series we will introduce the problem and challenges and then provide you with four proven strategies for success in your compliance training. In this Episode 3, we discuss the concept of experiential learning as a gamechanger to enhance overall learning scope, motivation, retention and transfer; emphasizing its importance over conventional learning methods. Experiential learning means learning by doing. When we are passive learners in front of a screen, clicking on the forward button or checking boxes, learning remains shallow. Experiential ethics learning is not simply about feeding abstract information about an ethics topic into learners' minds. It is instead about the tight coupling of thinking with doing. An experiential learning activity is about posing a problem that is relevant to the learner. It is then up to the learner to tap into their existing knowledge, to use their ingenuity and creative problem-solving skills to find a feasible solution for the problem at hand.   Using practical examples, Carsten explains how experiential learning engages learners in problem-solving and hands-on experiences, leading to better retention and application of knowledge. They explore the historical roots of the concept, drawing from thinkers like Aristotle, Confucius, John Dewey, and modern cognitive research. The discussion also covers ways to implement experiential learning in organizational settings, addressing potential concerns about documenting these methods for regulatory compliance.
