A side effect is new careers open in education that haven’t been there before. Workloads for teachers now focus most of their time on direct instruction and those more poignant but less frequent class intersections. Hybrid logistics changes systemic inequities by a restructure of space and time use towards personalized pace for every student.

A transformation that goes beyond personalization to individual experiential learning.

A new technology to help schools overcome the teacher shortage.

It is the long-desired middle ground between online and on-campus. Schools do not need to change every part of their current structure but can use a Hybrid Logistics Infrastructure to personalize learning paths during study hall time for subjects like electives and remedial learning.Ī Hybrid Logistics Infrastructure does not make all learning online or remote. Since teachers are not always tied to a classroom, they can roam to help individual students but still have live human teaching moments to lecture, hold discussions, and do hands-on projects. Hybrid Logistics is an emerging disruptive technology that precisely uses human teachers for their skills with students. Rearrange Time and Space through Hybrid Logistics Their academic performance will be off the charts, and they will thank you for it. Whether it is through VR field trips or science experiments, getting your students into the Metaverse will not only be fun and exciting, but it will also give them some very sticky learning time. Even though higher ed is leading the charge with 10 fully functioning Metaversities opening this Fall, K-12 is getting into the game as well. Some said it was a flower, some said it was a weed, but I never gave it much thought.” Now, with virtual reality and learning opportunities in the Metaverse, your students can take a trip and never leave the farm. And unlike many programs that must be repeated every year, a good “dose” of cognitive training can pay dividends for a learner’s lifetime.īack in the 70s, singer Jim Stafford wrote, “Wildwood weed grew wild on the farm, and we never knew what it was called. Evidence-based programs that strengthen cognitive skills can have amazing results for learners.

Would you like some spending suggestions? I believe if you follow at least 50 percent of my recommendations, you’ll feel great, and your students will be running faster and jumping higher by Easter (with apologies to PF Flyers).Ĭognitive testing, cognitive skills training, and cognitive testing againĪccording to our Internationally recognized experts Betsy Hill and Roger Stark, “Evidenced-based, brain-building activities are among the most accessible and direct routes to improving academic achievement and optimal mental health in our nation’s youth, especially when reinforced throughout childhood and adolescence.” We have known this for years, but we have been particularly slow to share this knowledge with our teachers, either in schools of education or through professional development.

You have two years’ worth of Extrabucks to spend. But that is another discussion for another day. I could argue that districts always have money, it is just a matter of the decisions they make. You can go back to hand-wringing in two years if you’d like. Go for it! Squeeze every ounce of learning from the good fortune you have before you. Why in the world would you be reluctant to spend a windfall just because that windfall will soon be coming to an end? Imagine all the good you could do for the learners you have now with that fortune in cash and prizes. I couldn’t tell whether the supe was taken out of context, but I have to believe he was. This supe seemed to be making the best of it, not spending his stimulus money so he could avoid the unavoidable cliff.

I read a piece in one of the weekly education publications a superintendent had been quoted warning of the funding cliff coming in two years.
