Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), offers practical and scalable solutions to that problem in a new policy paper released by The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation. In the paper, Institutional Change in Higher Education: Innovation and Collaboration, Hrabowski discusses how his institution has addressed the shortage of STEM graduates, particularly among groups that have been underrepresented in these fields, including minorities, women, and students from low-income backgrounds. UMBC has been recognized widely as a leader in higher education innovation. For three years in a row, the U.S. News and World Report America’s Best Colleges Guide has ranked the university number one among “Up-and-Coming” national universities. ]]>

Each year The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education recognizes outstanding educational leaders whose accomplishments have significantly improved the quality of American education and made a lasting difference in the lives of countless students. The pantheon of previous McGraw Prize winners constitutes a virtual “Who’s Who” in American education. This year we sought out individuals who are using technology to advance the learning sciences and transform education. Therefore, we now have the pleasure of honoring three great educational entrepreneurs: Robert Beichner, Mitchel Resnick and Julie Young. To tap their collective insight, McGraw-Hill asked Beichner, Resnick and Young to collaborate on a white paper which draws on their perspectives spanning across elementary, secondary and post-secondary education. The paper hones in on one of the unheralded benefits of educational technology: to enhance and strengthen the human connections that facilitate learning. ]]>

If high schools are to succeed in preparing students for college and/or careers in the 21st century, they will need to be more responsive to student needs, make better use of new technology, provide teachers with greater professional development opportunities, and re-evaluate their very structure. These observations come from a policy paper released by the McGraw-Hill Research Foundation http://www.mcgraw-hillresearchfoundation.org, “A High School for the 21st Century,” written by leading educational experts Jordan Goldman, founder and CEO, Unigo.com; Gerry House, president and CEO, Institute for Student Achievement; and Jeff Livingston, senior vice president, Career and College Readiness, McGraw-Hill Education. In this paper, the authors say that most U.S. high schools are stuck in a 19th-century educational model designed to fail, and they offers practical solutions to create college and career-focused high schools.]]>

The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation’s new position paper argues that adult education and career training is potentially one of the most cost-effective tools the U.S. has to recover its economic health in the aftermath of the “Great Recession.” The paper was written by sector experts Dr. Lennox McLendon, Executive Director, National Council of State Directors of Adult Education and National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium; Debra Jones, California Director of Adult Education and Chair, NAEPDC Research Workgroup, and Mitch Rosin, Editorial Director, McGraw-Hill School Education Group.
