Today, education and technology are so closely intertwined it’s hard to remember a world where they didn’t coexist. Over the past three years, school districts quickly adopted and integrated various technologies, from one-to-one device programs and new software to networks that could shoulder the increased demand. None of these innovations would have been possible with the hard work of K–12 IT leaders.

As an English language teacher in an international primary school and a language learner myself, I often think about how many K-12 students in the United States are given the opportunity to study another language in school. The answer? Not enough. There are a number of research organizations collecting data about foreign language study and multilingualism in the U.S., however, with insufficient and lagging data from schools, this research has its limitations.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Last year, I relocated to my home state of Tennessee from New York City, and I had to secure a car for the first time in many years. As luck would have it, my first winter back in Tennessee was one of the state's coldest on record. Just enough snow fell in late December to make driving, especially up my steep driveway, a daunting experience. As I slowly crept up the hill toward my house, my tires spun in place.

After a stint as a restaurant server, eight years working as a community crisis liaison, and the last three years as a restorative interventionist in a public high school, he’s learned how to read people, how to build their trust, and how to form meaningful connections with them. Those are all skills that he expects will serve him well when he becomes a classroom teacher in the not-too-distant future.

Schools can’t afford to lose teachers of color. And with public schools struggling to fill teacher vacancies with qualified educators, district and school leaders can’t afford to lose any more teachers,period. Today, less than one in five teachers identify as Black, Hispanic or Asian American amidst an increasingly diverse student population. It is time to take a hard look at the policies that keep our diverse students from learning from teachers who look like them.
