educational activities outside of school. While other kids took a summer break, our parents ensured we continued to apply and expand upon what we had learned during the school year. This commitment led us to participate in various summer programs, including six-week-long bridge courses and weeklong camps designed to ignite students’ interest in science. In hindsight, I realize that these opportunities were available to us as a direct result of educational policies aimed at guiding students’ learning experiences and fostering a skilled and engaged workforce.</p> <p class='clearfix'> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/11/the-impact-of-k-12-stem-policy/#more-32973" class="more-link btn btn-green btn-large pull-right clearfix col-sm-3 col-md-3">Read More</a></p> </div> </article> <article id="post-32956" class="bordered-post post-32956 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/10/strategies-for-improving-inclusivity-for-individuals-with-disabilities-in-the-workplace/" rel="bookmark">Strategies for Improving Inclusivity for Individuals with Disabilities in the Workplace</a></h2> <div class="meta-inline clearfix"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li><div class="author-box clearfix blue-box"><div class="author-card"><div class="author-avatar"><img alt='' src='https://blog.ed.gov/wp-content/themes/educated/img/default-avatar.png?' class='avatar avatar-150 photo avatar-default' height='150' width='150' /></div><div class="author-name"><small>Posted by</small> <div class="author vcard"><strong><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.ed.gov/author/bloged/" title="View all posts by U.S. Department of Education" rel="author">U.S. Department of Education</a></strong></div><div class="author-bio"></div></div></div></div></li> <li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/10/strategies-for-improving-inclusivity-for-individuals-with-disabilities-in-the-workplace/" title="1:55 pm" rel="bookmark"><abbr class="entry-date timeago" title="2024-10-29T13:55:00-04:00">October 29, 2024</abbr></a></li><li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-folder-open icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/topic/news/" rel="category tag">News</a></li> </ul> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/10/strategies-for-improving-inclusivity-for-individuals-with-disabilities-in-the-workplace/"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1-1024x576.png" alt=""Strategies for Improving Inclusivity for Individuals with Disabilities in the Workplace"" class="wp-image-32963" srcset="https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1-300x169.png 300w, https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1-768x432.png 768w, https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https://blog.ed.gov/files/2024/10/Blog_Inclusivity-in-the-Workplace-1.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure> <p>By: Robert D.

Since 2017, there have been over 500 presidentially declared major disasters across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Outlying Areas. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) closely follows the impacts of natural disasters on students, educators, staff, families, and others. Schools are a critical aspect of whole community recovery and provide education, nutrition, physical fitness, mental health counseling, and other resources to students and their families during day-to-day operations. When schools close after a natural disaster, it is critical that these resources remain available to the community and that schools are reopened and operating as soon as possible. In 2018, to better assist schools in dealing with impacts of natural disasters, ED’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education formed a Disaster Recovery Unit (DRU) with the goal of increasing resources dedicated to K-12 schools disaster recovery efforts. ED’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) office and Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) offer support to postsecondary schools.</p> <p class='clearfix'> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/resources-for-communities-following-natural-disasters-2/#more-32879" class="more-link btn btn-green btn-large pull-right clearfix col-sm-3 col-md-3">Read More</a></p> </div> </article> <article id="post-32867" class="bordered-post post-32867 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-headlines category-news"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/updates-for-pslf-borrowers-payment-count-availability/" rel="bookmark">Updates for PSLF Borrowers: Payment Count Availability</a></h2> <div class="meta-inline clearfix"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li><div class="author-box clearfix blue-box"><div class="author-card"><div class="author-avatar"><img alt='' src='https://blog.ed.gov/wp-content/themes/educated/img/default-avatar.png?' class='avatar avatar-150 photo avatar-default' height='150' width='150' /></div><div class="author-name"><small>Posted by</small> <div class="author vcard"><strong><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.ed.gov/author/bloged/" title="View all posts by U.S. Department of Education" rel="author">U.S. Department of Education</a></strong></div><div class="author-bio"></div></div></div></div></li> <li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/updates-for-pslf-borrowers-payment-count-availability/" title="3:51 pm" rel="bookmark"><abbr class="entry-date timeago" title="2024-09-24T15:51:43-04:00">September 24, 2024</abbr></a></li><li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-folder-open icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/topic/headlines/" rel="category tag">Headlines</a>, <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/topic/news/" rel="category tag">News</a></li> </ul> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><em>By: James Kvaal, U.S. Under Secretary of Education</em></p> <p>The U.S. Department of Education today announced another important step in its ongoing efforts to fix the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program.

To support use of these report cards, the U.S. Department of Education (The Department) recently issued guidance based on a review of the key requirement to prepare and widely share report cards that provide information on state, LEA, and school performance and progress in an understandable, uniform format.</p> <p class='clearfix'> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/state-and-local-report-cards-as-one-tool-to-understand-and-support-student-learning/#more-32841" class="more-link btn btn-green btn-large pull-right clearfix col-sm-3 col-md-3">Read More</a></p> </div> </article> <article id="post-32827" class="bordered-post post-32827 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-headlines category-news"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/familia-carino-y-personalizado-academic-advising-at-hispanic-serving-institutions%e2%80%af/" rel="bookmark">Familia, Cariño, y Personalizado: Academic Advising at Hispanic-Serving Institutions </a></h2> <div class="meta-inline clearfix"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li><div class="author-box clearfix blue-box"><div class="author-card"><div class="author-avatar"><img alt='' src='https://blog.ed.gov/wp-content/themes/educated/img/default-avatar.png?' class='avatar avatar-150 photo avatar-default' height='150' width='150' /></div><div class="author-name"><small>Posted by</small> <div class="author vcard"><strong><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.ed.gov/author/bloged/" title="View all posts by U.S. Department of Education" rel="author">U.S. Department of Education</a></strong></div><div class="author-bio"></div></div></div></div></li> <li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/familia-carino-y-personalizado-academic-advising-at-hispanic-serving-institutions%e2%80%af/" title="3:05 pm" rel="bookmark"><abbr class="entry-date timeago" title="2024-09-12T15:05:41-04:00">September 12, 2024</abbr></a></li><li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-folder-open icon-white"></i> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/topic/headlines/" rel="category tag">Headlines</a>, <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/topic/news/" rel="category tag">News</a></li> </ul> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><em><strong>By: Gabriel O.

As a result, HSIs bear the significant responsibility of advising and guiding the majority of Latino undergraduates across the country.</p> <p class='clearfix'> <a href="https://blog.ed.gov/2024/09/familia-carino-y-personalizado-academic-advising-at-hispanic-serving-institutions%e2%80%af/#more-32827" class="more-link btn btn-green btn-large pull-right clearfix col-sm-3 col-md-3">Read More</a></p> </div> </article> <nav role="navigation" id="nav-below" class="navigation-paging"> <h1 class="screen-reader-text">Post navigation</h1> <div class="nav-previous"><a href="https://blog.ed.gov/page/2/" ><span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts</a></div> </nav> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-4"> <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="search-2" class="widget widget_search"><h2 class="widget-title">Search This Blog</h2> <form role="search" method="get" aria-label="Search for:" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="https://blog.ed.gov/"> <label for="s" class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</label> <div class="input-group"> <input type="search" class="form-control" name="s" value="" id="s" placeholder="Search …"> <span class="input-group-btn"> <button class="btn btn-primary" aria-label="Search" type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search icon-white"></i></button> </span> </div> </form> </aside><aside id="text-11" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><em>Blog articles provide insights on the activities of schools, programs, grantees, and other education stakeholders to promote continuing discussion of educational innovation and reform.
