Examining Teacher Preparation Program Feedback from CSU Systemwide Survey Data: Using the CTQ Completer Survey to Support Data-Driven Continuous Improvement
This report provides background on the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) Completer Survey, describing how California State University (CSU) grantees of the New Generation of Educators (NGEI) initiative can use data from the Survey strategically to support certain data-driven program reform efforts.

Semantic Instrumentation of Virtual Environments for Training
We discuss an approach in which the virtual environment is semantically instrumented in order to allow for the tracking of and reasoning about open-ended learner activity therein.

Achieving Differential Privacy in Secure Multiparty Data Aggregation Protocols on Star Networks
We consider the problem of privacy-preserving data aggregation in a star network topology, i.e., several untrusting participants connected to a single aggregator.

Transient electronics based on frangible stress-engineered glass substrates
We present an approach to transience electronics where transience is achieved by fracturing electronic components into small pieces and widely dispersing the fragments over a large area.

Mapping the Hypocretin/Orexin Neuronal System: An Unexpectedly Productive Journey
Early in 1998, we (and others) described the same hypothalamic neuropeptides, respectively called the hypocretins or orexins, which were discovered using two different approaches.

Insights from Linked Learning into Equitable Career Pathway Implementation
In SRI International’s new brief, Access and Equity in Linked Learning, we share what we’ve learned about the promise and challenges of achieving equitable, career-themed pathways from our 7-year study of Linked Learning. Linked Learning is an approach to transforming the high school experience by creating academically rigorous, career-themed pathways in either stand-alone small schools or academies within large…
