There is a growing need for today’s pre-service teachers to be equipped with skills and competencies for blended, online, and technology-rich teaching and learning environments. As teaching candidates progress through teacher education programs, they should be exploring, evaluating, and applying methods and tools for effective instruction in the dynamic learning environments that exist in today’s K-12 schools.

Texas Turns Away From Prosecuting Truants<http://tpr.org/post/texas-turns-away-prosecuting-truants> ________________________________ by CLAUDIO SANCHEZ | June 25, 2015 Full Story<http://tpr.org/post/texas-turns-away-prosecuting-truants> For two decades, Texas has treated truancy as a criminal offense. That means most cases were prosecuted in adult courts where children, along with their parents, faced jail and fines of up to $1,500 for missing school — usually 10 or more unexcused absences. Texas lawmakers now say this policy went too far. So last week, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, signed a law that no longer treats truancy as a Class C misdemeanor.
