On the morning of July 2, 1881, Charles Julius Guiteau paced ner- vously around the now-demolished Baltimore and Potomac train depot in Washington, DC, with his newly purchased revolver held snugly in his possession.

The Ultimate Guide to Marketing an Educational Institution with Social Media

In order to employ social media to attract students, you first need to understand how students use social media and more broadly, the Internet. Consider that education industry professionals can easily believe several commonly held myths about student Internet usage.

Community Education and Social Marketing

A number of terms are often used interchangeably which, in fact, reflect different methods (or refer to different components of methods) to promote the safety and wellbeing of children. In this review we refer to terms such as “social marketing”, “community education”, “campaigns” and “programs”. These are defined for the purposes of this review. “Community Education” ref…

Exploring the Intersection of Science Education and 21st Century Skills

An emerging body of research suggests that a set of broad “21st cen- tury skills”—such as adaptability, complex communication skills, and the ability to solve nonroutine problems—are valuable across a wide range of jobs in the national economy (Levy and Murnane, 2004; National Research Council, 2008a). However, the role of K-12 education in helping students learn these skills is a subje…

One of the most critical issues facing the United States today is the proper management of our water resources. Water availability and quality are changing due to increasing population, urbanization, and land use and climate change. Despite the fact that overall water use in the U.S. has remained relatively constant since about 1980, shortages in water supply have been increasing in frequency…

Scientific Research in Education

No one would think of getting to the Moon or of wiping out a disease without research. Likewise, one cannot expect reform efforts in education to have significant effects without research- based knowledge to guide them. Scientific research in education can shed light on the increasingly complex and performance-driven U.S. education system. Such research covers a wide range of issues, includi…

HIGHER EDUCATION AND BUSINESS STANDARDS

LAST summer, when we reached California for a year's sojourn, we had the good fortune to secure a house with a splendid garden. A few weeks ago, after the early warm days of a California February had opened up the first blossoms of the season, our little five-year-old discovered that the garden furnished a fine outlet for her enterprise, and she soon produced two gorgeous—I will not say beaut…

Every state in the United States now has its own standards for educa- tion from kindergarten through grade 12, at least in core subjects.

New Tools for Environmental Protection: Education, Information, and Voluntary…

There has been increasing concern among environmental protection offi- cials in the federal government about the problem of diminishing returns from regulation.
