During the Empower Learners for the Age of AI (ELAI) conference earlier in December 2022, it became apparent to me personally that not only does Artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to revolutionize the field of education, but that it already is.

A growing body of research has shown that race-matched instruction—when teachers and learners come from the same background—is beneficial for students. College students have been shown to be likelier to pass courses with race-matched instructors, likelier to receive higher grades in those courses, and likelier to persist in school. Race-matched students were also more likely to take an additional class in that subject and to major in it.

What is a “wicked problem”? When it comes to higher ed, they are “structural, pervasive societal challenges that are subject to real-world constraint,” say analysts at WGU Labs , the research arm of Western Governor’s University. “Colleges are failing to meet the needs of students and the result is a crisis for universities—public perception is wavering and students are seeking career-aligned credentials elsewhere,” according to WGU Labs’ new repor
Blog: Higher Ed Gamma Bitter controversy has recently swirled around California’s revised Mathematics Framework, a set of recommendations about how math should be taught in the state’s K-12 schools.

Blog: Higher Ed Gamma The past’s meaning only becomes clear in hindsight.

Higher education is a ladder to social and economic mobility and stability, and learning certain skills like leadership, critical thinking, problem-solving and communication, can make the difference in a graduate feeling their time in postsecondary education was both worth the expense and helped them achieve life goals.

As the tech industry addresses a skills shortage, it also needs to boost its talent pipeline to bring tech jobs to underrepresented communities.

Almost every Asian person has encountered racial mockery by someone aping an Asian language. I first experienced it on an elementary school playground.

Image: When New York University announced last month that it would suspend admissions to its undergraduate music education program, students were shocked.
