North Central Michigan College's $630,876 grant funds 80 marine, welding and CNC seats

North Central Michigan College's $630,876 grant funds 80 marine, welding and CNC seats

North Central Michigan College in Petoskey won $630,876 in state skills-training money. It funds 80 seats in marine service, welding and CNC machining through 2028, about seven trainees per cohort. The first marine cohort starts in fall 2027, with two more planned in 2028, a timeline that could help northern Michigan employers who want these graduates plan their hiring.

  • 01Eighty seats over 11 cohorts works out to roughly seven trainees a class, suggesting each cohort will train only a handful of students at a time for the accelerated certificates.
  • 02The first marine service cohort opens in fall 2027, followed by two more cohorts in 2028.
  • 03Each certificate maps to an outside benchmark a hiring manager already knows: ABYC marine service fundamentals, AWS Level I welding, and a CNC operator path into the college's credit-bearing certificate.

Dr. José Medina argues dual language can repair school harm

Dr. José Medina argues dual language can repair school harm

Dual language researcher Dr. José Medina argues dual language programs exist to repair harm to emergent bilingual students, citing his removal from kindergarten and first grade in El Paso. A May 2023 Century Foundation review of more than 1,600 programs found English learner shares shrinking in major cities, and a 2026 Educational Policy study finds Texas Senate Bill 3 limits equity-focused professional learning.

  • 01The Supreme Court ruled in Lau v. Nichols in January 1974 that giving students who do not speak English the same teachers and textbooks is unequal treatment under the Civil Rights Act, yet federal compliance guidelines waited for a 1975 task force.
  • 02A May 2023 Century Foundation report using data on more than 1,600 dual language immersion programs found English learner shares shrinking over five years in most dual language schools in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland and San José.
  • 03A 2026 Educational Policy study finds Texas Senate Bill 3 restricts equity-focused professional learning; the article links that squeeze to dual language guidance that relies on critical consciousness to counter program gentrification.

In this snap-together siren lesson, students feel vibration as sound

In this snap-together siren lesson, students feel vibration as sound

High Tech Rising's Oh Snap! series has students build a snap-together siren around a five-point Alarm IC, touch the speaker cone and conclude that sound is vibration. A Texas Instruments applications engineer describes lab debugging, and NGSS standard MS-PS4-1 shows the quantitative step the lesson leaves for later.

  • 01A speaker has three working parts: a permanent magnet, a coil that becomes a magnet only while current flows, and a cone that pushes air.
  • 02The lesson's Alarm IC has five connection points and only three carry the circuit, so a wrong snap produces silence and a diagnostic exercise.
  • 03NGSS MS-PS4-1 asks middle schoolers to relate amplitude to energy with math, the step a hands-on siren leaves for later.
