"SCHOOLS ON THE WRONG TRACK, BUSINESS LEADERS SAY: Cities and towns looking to grow their economies are likely misdirecting their efforts if their priorities are not centered on education, a new survey of business leaders suggests. In a poll of 234 local business leaders about the state of their public schools and how to improve them, Business Forward found that a majority believe that American K-12 schools are “on the wrong track” — and 1 in 4 is concerned that poorly performing schools will negatively impact their businesses. Half of those surveyed said American schools are underfunded, and half of those business leaders were more concerned with poor students than their own children. Many called for increasing funding for the state’s neediest schools as a means of closing the opportunity gap between rich and poor districts, reducing income inequality, and supplying integral talent to their businesses. Read more about the findings."

The new fully online college draws from a variety of sources, including public universities’ online degree programs, corporate worker training initiatives and programs at for-profit colleges. California plans to blend those existing influences to create something without precedent: A statewide, online-only public college focused on short, career-oriented certificates.

David Navarro's curator insight,

A survey was done by the University of Wisconsin and t the rates of hungry and homeless students at community colleges across the country are higher than previously thought. The results show that one third of community college students go hungry and 14 percent are homeless. Students go through years of schooling just to go to college, receive a degree, and work for the rest of their lives. As kids we were always taught to do what we want to do in life, some of us want to be college graduates with a good career that pays well, the country is making it difficult for us college students to reach our goal. Yes there is a lot of scholarship offerings, grants, and loans that we can receive, but the cost of college is just too high that even with the help, students are still dropping out and even becoming homeless.

This lesson is based on a single image of a girl sitting in the forest with a tiger. The lesson includes a variety of discussion and conversation tasks that you can use to get students thinking and talking about the image. These are followed by language focus tasks and some more creative tasks. As well as vocabulary, the plan can be used to practice 'present continuous', 'present perfect continuous' or 'second conditional'. Finally, there are some suggestions for digital research and creation follow-up tasks.
