    How dropping out of U.S. News' "best colleges" is bettering these colleges

    Though they have been a useful resource for prospective students and families doing research to make decisions on K-12 and higher education, for some time now, the U.S. News and World Report's "best colleges" lists have been under scrutiny. At the sime time, academic pressure and competition to get into the so-called "best" schools has increased, particularly in high-achieving areas. Colorodo College, a previously high-ranked school, recently decided not submit data to this year’s U.S. News rankings. In this episode of The Beyond Grades Podcast, we discuss why.

    AI in education: Can ChatGPT alleviate teacher burnout?

    What's the tea on ChatGPT? Don't we all want to know. In this episode, I discuss what the new artificial intelligence technology is, how it's being used, what supporters are saying, what critics are saying, and if we should be scared... JK! As I talk about in towards the end of the episode, if anything, ChatGPT is a tool we should get used to and embrace as a potential solution to teacher burnout.

    How a deaf therapy dog transformed this New Jersey school

    Heartwarming is an understatement. In this episode, I am joined by Chris, the owner of Cole, a deaf pit bull who works in a New Jersey elementary school as a therapy dog. Chris describes Cole's impact on students and staff and how it has defied the stereotypes of his breed and disability. Since he began working at the school six years ago, he has grown an audience worldwide, garnering millions of views and followers on his social media. Ultimately, his impact has reached far outside of his own school, from influencing other schools to consider dog therapy to just putting a smile on a Tik Tok viewer's face.

    These two stories are a breath of fresh air...
