RANDA's "Core of Education" Blog Tackles Tough Issues

The blog's author is RANDA's Vice president of Education, Rod Berger, PsyD. The initial emphasis of Dr. Berger’s articles is on innovations related to improving teacher effectiveness.

"We've been experimenting with the focus and tone of this effort for several months.

"His perspective is unique, informed by his years in education as a former administrator and professional development expert."

He has previously worked within the education and technology sectors, providing guidance for leadership and professional development, curriculum re-engineering and deployment. Berger also serves as an adjunct faculty member for Argosy University and has taught Leadership Development for Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management. As a published author, national speaker and former national radio show host Dr. Berger weaves his experiences with today's education challenges.

"At RANDA, we don’t simply create technology. We create tech tools to help improve education," says Berger. "Since our primary focus is on improving teacher performance, this venue will reflect that." Dr. Berger's blog can be can be found at The Core of Education (http://blog.randasolutions.com).

"This is where we wrestle with the constraints in American education and dream about what we can do- both as a nation and as technology innovators- to improve it," says Dr. Berger. Dennis added, "This blog is simply another venue for meaningful discourse with real-world educators... much like we do in our extensive pilot studies."
