Stickel, formerly deputy chief, has been serving as interim chief since Sept. 20 following the retirement of Chief Anthony Bellamy. "Chief Stickel has demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism and leadership throughout his tenure with CUPD," Honan said. "His commitment to campus safety, community engagement and operational excellence has earned the respect of his peers and the broader Cornell community. This promotion is a well-deserved recognition of his service and vision for the future of CUPD."

We all know that a legal education can land the average law school graduate in up to six figures of debt (to be specific, on average, 2025 graduates racked up more than $112,500 in student debt), and we all know that egregiously high tuition costs are to blame. But which schools had the most costly tuition and fees for out-of-state students for the 2024-2025 academic year? The Short List blog of U.S. News has compiled a ranking for that, and it's not at all shocking that almost all 15 schools that made the list are private.

Every Instructional Designer (ID) knows the drill. You've completed your needs analysis, identified performance gaps, and gathered all your Subject Matter Expert content. Now comes the time-consuming task of creating detailed storyboards-formatting learning objectives, designing screen treatments, crafting assessment questions, and ensuring everything follows organizational standards. Hours turn into days as you meticulously structure content, proofread for errors, and maintain formatting consistency across dozens of screens. What if there was a way to reclaim 40% of that time by automating storyboard creation?

'No Child Left Behind' poisoned us, and it's okay to accept when a child doesn't have the aptitude. I'm a freshman composition professor, and the number of students I get who are functionally illiterate is shockingly high. 'Special education has become a dumping ground for behavioral problems, and the kids who truly need it are being neglected.' 'Class sizes are too big.

"Due to the severe budget constraints currently facing UC, the PPFP faculty hiring incentive is sunsetting as of fall 2025," the spokesperson said in a statement. "While the University will continue to provide five years of salary support to PPFP fellows hired by summer 2025 and in earlier years, no new incentives will be provided going forward. Campuses will still be able to hire PPFP fellows as part of their normal search and hiring processes, but the additional financial contribution from the incentive program will no longer be available."

The Department of Education is asking parents to fill out the three-question survey before Tuesday, December 16 A new survey by the Department of Education hopes to allow parents to inform schools' ethos - and can be completed in under five minutes. I completed the survey and found it easy to understand, with the Department keeping it short and sweet, posing just three questions.

When encouraging children to become excited about learning, it is very important to help them develop a positive academic self-concept. A person's academic self-concept is the way they identify with what type of student they are. It is how you would describe yourself as a student. A person has many different aspects to their overall self-concept and likely identifies with each aspect differently. For example, every person will identify with their athletic, artistic, musical, social, emotional, or academic self-concept in different ways.

When Tosha Alexander was 17, her world was unraveling. Her father had died, and with her mother unable to keep their lives together, foster care became the next stop in her journey. Then her history teacher, Brea Kitts, did something extraordinary. Without hesitation, Kitts - who was a single mother - stepped in and took legal custody. She gave Alexander not just a roof over her head, but a home, a sense of safety, and a chance to finish high school with her friends.

AI companies know that children are the future - of their business model. The industry doesn't hide their attempts to hook the youth on their products through well-timed promotional offers, discounts, and referral programs. "Here to help you through finals," OpenAI said during a giveaway of ChatGPT Plus to college students. Students get free yearlong access to Google's and Perplexity's pricey AI products. Perplexity even pays referrers $20 for each US student that it gets to download its AI browser Comet.

1. A 6-foot-long plush puppy, because sometimes bigger is better with the little crowd, and what could be better than a body-pillow of a pup for hours of cuddles and pretend play? (This guy would do GREAT on the floor is lava circuit.) 3. An interactive talking Ms. Rachel plushy if the other parent in your house is 100% Ms. Rachel, and you want to extend that learning love to playtime.

It's 2025 and I actually have parents trying to defend pulling their child out of school for vacation,

School board officials in the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood recently voted 4-1 to convert Lincoln Elementary school into a centralized early learning center, and re-direct all pre-kindergarten children from their neighborhood schools to there - a small but seismic change that advocates say will effectively sacrifice district's identity as a "walking school district" where virtually every student can access the classroom on foot.

Three first-place finishes may have earned the Baja Racing team the designation "Iron Team," but its members credit the students who came before them for their success. "We succeeded on the back of giants," said team leader Casey Savage '25, a mechanical engineering major in Cornell Engineering. "It's all a testament to how well we pass information down, and how much care is taken to build on the prior years." Maya Chakraborty '27, mechanical engineering major and 2025-26 drivetrain lead, makes adjustments to the previous season's car during a test run at the team's practice track.

I was like, that's a good question. I don't have an answer for it,

"All of us work here because we believe in the library and our community impact,"

"This latest critical investment in child care gives the City the tools necessary to build a system to provide care for families with children from birth to five years old," said Rendy Desamours, a spokesperson for Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, a Queens Democrat. The city already funds preschool seats for nearly 100,000 3- and 4-year-olds, and the push to expand that system has gathered steam in recent months.

The International Center for Journalists' (ICFJ) Disarming Disinformation initiative is a three-year program, supported by the Scripps Howard Foundation, that aims to slow the spread of disinformation through multiple programs such as investigative journalism, capacity building and media literacy education. ICFJ partnered with MediaWise from the Poynter Institute to develop and deliver media literacy programming. The media literacy training of trainers program accepted global participants for two different cohorts.

I started cleaning at the Helix in DCU, four days after I turned 16. I suppose you could call it nepotism as my mam worked there already so that is how I got the job - and I really like it, which is why I'm still there. But it did take up a lot of my time when I was in school, particularly from November to January during the panto season as I would be working late and sometimes would not be finished until midnight if the bar was open after the show.

I'm here because I really want to spread the love of reading," she said. "We've been bringing books through Appalachia, and this was the next stop," she said.

If you love the idea of tutoring young people, six weeks of vacation, and an annual salary of more than a quarter million dollars, there's a new job that might be perfect for you. Instead of working as a computer programmer or financial analyst, you can make the same kind of money while living in a fully furnished home-by tutoring a young woman with academic anxiety.

I don't know what toys and learning materials lived there, since I wasn't one of the handful of presumably more academically advanced kiddos that my kindergarten teacher invited to open the chest. My distinct impression at the time was that my teacher didn't think I was worthy of the enrichment because I frequently spilled my chocolate milk at lunch and I had also once forgotten to hang a sheet of paper on the class easel-instead painting an elaborate and detailed picture on the stand itself.

Average reading scores for fourth-grade students in 2024 dropped two points since 2022 and five points since 2019, as measured by the so-called nation's report card. But according to a recent talk at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, the trend of American children reading below their grade levels stretches back decades before the pandemic - and teaching methods that fail to adequately challenge students, counterintuitive as it may seem, could be the culprit.

Childhood doesn't end the day you turn five, Ruth Lue-Quee said to me on the phone as she shepherded her son to the playground this half term. Playing is what children are born to do. It's innate in them. It is how they learn. The former deputy headteacher's petition to make play-based pedagogy a core part of the key stage 1 (KS1) national curriculum in England has garnered almost the required 100,000 signatures for debate in parliament.
