This week, Education Dive spoke with experts in both higher ed and K-12 about what makes a good college president and school principal, respectively. And with ESSA implementation coming next school year, we also examined how schools' approaches to serving ELL students will change under the new law.
Additionally, Kenneth Hawthorn, mechatronics teacher at St. Raymond School in Menlo Park, CA and a Dremel Idea Builder Ambassador, shared his thoughts on simple and cost-effective projects to get schools onboard the growing makerspace trend.
