One of the things I dislike about teaching AP English Literature is that I really need to offer students opportunities to practice for the exam, which means timed writing and multiple choice practice. I don’t think timed writing is pedagogically sound because we are not replicating the kind of writing students will have to do most often in college and career. Sure, students have deadlines, but it will be uncommon for them to have to produce something like a timed essay in the real world. I also tend…

LIKE IT or not, the age of generative AI is upon us. Anyone with an internet connection now has access to tools that can answer almost every question under the sun, write everything from university essays to computer code and produce art or photorealistic images.
The jury is still out on whether all this represents a stride towards super-intelligent AI. Even if progress stagnates, however, the capabilities available today could profoundly affect the economy, jobs, education, culture and more. So how is the current generation of AI going to reshape the world, and your life, in the next five to…
Rural students have historically had fewer choices in higher education than suburban students. Rural colleges are now struggling more than ever.
Many colleges have had to cut dozens of majors and academic programs to stay afloat.
“If you live in populated places, you get the good options, and if you don’t, you just get things that prepare you to go to work,” Andrew Koricich says.
The number of rural students thinking about going to college has plummeted. And America’s most rural states have slashed funding for colleges, in some states as much as 30%.
As a result – for those…

Our class is discussion-based, and if you are looking for discussion ideas, you might want to check out…
The latest lawsuit challenging New Hampshire’s school funding model hinges on a key question: How much must the state pay to provide a constitutionally adequate education?
Testimony Tuesday by Department of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut suggests that the answer may be hard for a judge to lock down.
During more than an hour of questioning in Rockingham County Superior Court, Edelblut declined to outline which educational services he believes the state is required to uphold in order to meet the adequacy standards. That standard was set by the state Supreme Court in the 1992 Claremont I decision, in which the…
