By Nichole Dobo Verified| The Hechinger Report Verified Hi, this is higher ed reporter Olivia Sanchez. For this week’s newsletter, my colleague Nichole Dobo interviewed our senior higher education reporter Jon Marcus about his story last week examining how and why rural colleges are closing programs and majors. Jon partnered with reporters from the education news outlet Open Campus to write about what happens to rural students when their colleges have to cut programs (usually as a result of low enrollment and financial challenges).
By Nichole Dobo Verified| The Hechinger Report Verified This story about math anxiety was produced by The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education. Sign up for our early childhood newsletter. Elementary school teachers often face a significant challenge when it comes to teaching math: their own discomfort with numbers. The Hechinger Report recently hosted a live event for people to learn more about efforts to solve this problem.
By Nichole Dobo Verified| The Daily Yonder Verified This story was originally published by The Hechinger Report. Like many states with a large number of rural schools, Wyoming desperately needs more teachers. Take the case of the Teton County School District, in Jackson, Wyoming. Located near Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, the area is well known as a vacation spot. Despite the alluring landscape, for full-time residents the extremely high housing costs are daunting. That makes it difficult to retain staff.
