Free the Data: Engaging Student Affairs Staff in Moving Toward a Culture of Evidence

A classroom with personalised learning does not have “one size fits all” approach to education, but instead focuses on customising the learning of students based on their strengths, needs, skills and interests. How can teachers embrace the personalized learning approach in their classrooms to make them more inclusive? What kind of potential does technology offer for both teachers and students in personalised learning? Watch this webinar to discover personalized learning, and the possibilities that technology can offer for both teachers and students in their classrooms.

The increasing complexity of technology, infrastructure and data is a perennial problem in higher education. College and university IT departments are often tasked with managing a sprawling collection of on-premises systems, homegrown apps and legacy protocols — keeping staffers in the weeds as they keep the institution running and deal with the evolving needs and expectations of students, faculty and staff.

Adults face a number of challenges when they consider enrolling in a higher education program. Most adult learners have family, work, social and community obligations that enrich their life experiences and make them high-quality candidates for a program. However, those same experiences can make researching and applying to a school particularly challenging, or even discourage prospective students altogether as they try to get answers within an institution’s standard 9-to-5 workday.

A well-nourished student is more likely to succeed in school, and participation in the child nutrition programs ensures students have access to vital, health meals throughout the day. When schools take advantage of federal meal programs and maximize participation levels, both students and educators reap the benefits. Implementing breakfast after the bell and offering breakfast and lunch at no charge to all students through community eligibility are proven strategies used by schools to support children’s health and achievement. Participation in the summer and afterschool meals programs also combat hunger and improve nutrition while drawing children into educational and enrichment activities.
