A new report has found that a combination of low salaries, tough political environments and accountability measures are contributing to a national teacher shortage, leading some classrooms to be led by instructors with little experience. Linda Darling-Hammond, professor of education emeritus at Stanford University, co-authored the Learning Policy Institute's report, "A Coming Crisis in Teaching? Teacher Supply, Demand, and Shortages in the U.S." The problem is widespread throughout the United States and having an impact on educational...
The highest ranking Atlanta Public Schools officials convicted in a districtwide cheating scandal have been sanctioned by the state agency that regulates educator licenses, but one is still eligible to return to a top post in any Georgia school district. Former regional executive directors Tamara Cotman, Michael Pitts and Sharon Davis-Williams were among 11 Atlanta educators convicted in 2015 on criminal charges of participating in a conspiracy to cheat on state tests. Former Superintendent Beverly Hall was indicted but died of cancer before...
NEW YORK – In the days after the redesigned SAT college entrance exam was given for the first time in March, some test-takers headed to the popular website reddit to share a frustration. They had trouble getting through the exam’s new mathematics sections. “I didn’t have nearly enough time to finish,” wrote a commenter who goes by MathM. “Other people I asked had similar impressions.” The math itself wasn’t the problem, said Vicki Wood, who develops courses for PowerScore, a South Carolina-based test preparation company. The issue was the w...
Law enforcement officers were regularly stationed in 10 percent of schools in 1997. By 2014, school resource officers were stationed in about one-third of schools. Now, two decades since the number of school-based police officers started to explode, a coalition of over 100 education and social justice organizations are calling for a course correction. The Dignity in Schools Campaign ― a coalition of organizations, parents and students from 27 states ― wants heavily policed campuses to be a thing of the past. It released a set of rec...
After students piled into their middle school bus for the ride home Tuesday, a noisy chorus began: “One, two, three, four, how many n------ are in my store?” The use of a racial epithet shocked a 13-year-old African American girl sitting among her classmates, and she grew upset as it was repeated with apparent glee. She recorded the moment on her cellphone and showed her parents a seven-second clip when she got to her Rockville, Md., home. The family posted the video on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, decrying what they said was the first tim...
School safety issues got renewed attention at the St. Paul School District on Tuesday, but tight budgets pose new challenges as officials seek to make schools safer and stem the flow of students to other districts and charter schools. School board members who on Tuesday heard task force recommendations about how to improve school climate had a fundamental question for administrators: Is this all there is? Increased support for students in crisis was recommended. The board was urged to consider having more regular classroom teachers join their...
Federal prosecutors say three former Starkey Hearing Technologies executives and two of their business associates conspired to steal more than $20 million from the Eden Prairie-based hearing aid maker over a 10-year period. An indictment filed Wednesday charges ousted Starkey President Jerry Ruzicka, former chief financial officer Scott Nelson, and former head of human resources Larry Miller with embezzlement and mail fraud. It alleges that they — in concert with business associates Jeffrey Taylor and Lawrence Hagen, who also were charged ...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Authorities in Charlotte tried to quell public anger Wednesday after a police officer shot a black man, but a dusk prayer vigil turned into a second night of violence, with police firing tear gas at angry protesters and a man being critically wounded by gunfire. North Carolina's governor declared a state of emergency in the city. The man was not shot by police who had massed in riot gear to keep the marchers outside an upscale downtown hotel, Charlotte officials announced on Twitter. City officials originally announced the m...
In another twist in an already unusual case, a Lakeville mother chose on Wednesday to serve up to eight months in prison rather than six years of probation for hiding her two teenage daughters from their father for more than two years. It’s a sentence the father says leaves him in fear for the girls. A jury found Sandra Grazzini-Rucki guilty in July of six counts of felony deprivation of parental rights. Judge Karen Asphaug sentenced her Wednesday to six years probation and annual stints of 15 days in jail until 2022, to be served on the a...
One person has died in connection with a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak among people who live, work or recently visited Hopkins. The number of cases related to the Hopkins outbreak, which began in early September, is now 14, up from 12 cases reported earlier this week. “While it’s unfortunate to see a death, we are not surprised that one has occurred in an outbreak of this size,” the Minnesota Health Department said Wednesday in a prepared statement. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average death rate in such ou...
Chanhassen High School students get a side of award-winning hummus with their vegetables, courtesy of district chef Steve Riley. His Eastern Carver County district is among those finding innovative ways to serve healthier foods and comply with federal regulations.

After the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act was adopted in 2010, districts...
WASHINGTON – As the first debate of the presidential campaign approaches, voters are in an increasingly frustrated and unhappy mood, driven to their choices more often by dislike of the opposing candidate than admiration for their own, according to new polling data. Nearly 6 in 10 voters described themselves as frustrated by this year’s campaign, according to newly released data from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. That’s up from just under half earlier in the summer. More than half called themselves disgusted. Only about 1 in 4 voter...
WASHINGTON – The National Museum of African American History and Culture may have started out at a distinct disadvantage. But it has already begun to overcome its humble roots. The first of the Smithsonian Institution’s 19 museums to begin without a dedicated collection, its 3,000-plus artifacts were mostly donated by private individuals and organizations. Already, more than 100,000 people have registered as museum members, a Smithsonian record. Designed to resemble an African wooden column, the museum’s exterior is covered with 3,600 bronz...

"Reservation Royalty," "Indian Princess" and "Indian Warrior" Halloween costumes being sold in a Winnipeg store are offensive, hurtful and racist, some Indigenous Winnipeggers say. Spirit Halloween on Pembina Highway carries a variety of Indigenous-themed costumes that a University of Manitoba professor calls "Disney-like." "It's offensive, stereotypical and Disney-like," said Niigaan Sinclair, the native studies department head at the University of Manitoba. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/halloween-costumes-1.377150...
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe took its fight to stop construction of the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday in a bid to gather international opposition to the project. Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault II addressed the 49-member Council in a brief two-minute testimony where he called "upon all parties to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline." Archambault said the U.S. government had failed to abide by signed treaties with the tribe — r...
Museum directors, curators and archaeologists have joined the protest led by Native American groups against the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota. More than 1,000 culture professionals signed a letter addressed to US President Obama, the department of justice and the interior, and the Army Corps of Engineers, saying: “We join the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in denouncing the recent destruction of ancient burial sites, places of prayer and other significant cultural artifacts sacred to the Lakota and Dakota people.” Built by the Dal...

In the letter, released Wednesday, a total of 1,281 people slammed the destruction of Native Americans' sacred land. “We join the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in denouncing the recent destruction of ancient burial sites, places of prayer and other significant c...
