Education Reform

This research project considered alternative options to traditional public school education for students. The research considered academic journals, government statistics and field-based observation from the EDUC 110, Foundations of Education class. The findings suggest there are many alternatives to traditional education that are positively benefiting student learning. Statistically many such non-traditional options are proving to beat traditional school methods, including state testing scores, high school graduate rates and success in college. The United States Education Department should continue to progressively evaluate and explore the difference found in such schools to better struggling and underperforming schools around the nation, for every child deserves the opportunity to have an award-winning education.

Technology Education Standards in Teacher Education Programs

This research project considered strategies and methods to foster excellence among teacher education candidates. The research considered scholarly journals and field-based observation from the EDUC 230, Technology for Teaching and Learning course. The findings suggest that effectively implementing ISTE standards with efficient classroom technology integration practices is necessary to inspire America’s youth and promote academic achievement. Therefore, teacher education programs should consider practical ways to address and support ISTE standards in K-12 classrooms.
