A multifaceted approach will be needed to fix the often-unsustainable challenges faced in the 21st-century academic arena. The trends in public and private institutions of education are more cutbacks, downsizing, mergers, sequestrations, lean process implementations, and the increase in hiring part-time workers over full-time workers. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it an array of schooling challenges around organizational change. Some challenges are structural, some are political, some are human resources related, and yet others are symbolic. To fix these problems, there is a need to address a core issue: increasing student engagement. This requires a wholesale rethinking of what schooling can be. Multifaceted Analysis of Sustainable Strategies and Tactics in Education brings increased awareness to students seeking education and faculty navigating the politics regarding the challenges they face, awareness of the disempowered voices found in the halls of these institutions, and light to the challenges facing administration in education. Covering topics such as parental involvement, work-based learning, and academic success, this premier reference source is an essential resource for educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, government officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

"This book aims at taking a multifaceted look at issues of sustainable strategies and tactics in education as it relates to policy and practice. Topics address various concerns regarding education access, accessibility standards, admissions and enrollment, learning design, quality assurance, and much more. Historical and social contexts play a key role in the framing of this publication as material conditions and lived experiences are shaped by the micro and macro environments in which individuals and groups inhabit and the dominant discourses which shape the production of knowledge and practice. Social realities have faced accelerated reconfigurations from the mid-20th century to the present time, as ongoing tensions between competing discourses have led to varying social stratifications which often paradoxically enable and mitigate social differences in various respects. It is hoped that this publication would constructively provoke a sense of reflexivity needed for education sociologists, policymakers, and other key constituents within education ecosystems to address both common and unique challenges which are experienced worldwide"--

Students who self-regulate are more likely to improve their academic performance, find value in their learning process, and continue to be effective lifelong learners. However, online students often struggle to self-regulate, which may contribute to lower academic performance. Likewise, less experienced online teachers who are in the process of implementing—or have implemented—a shift from in-person to distance learning may struggle to enable their students to employ effective self-regulation techniques. Supporting Self-Regulated Learning and Student Success in Online Courses examines current theoretical frameworks, research projects, and empirical studies related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of self-regulated learning models and interventions in online courses and discusses their implications. Covering key topics such as online course design, student retention, and learning support, this reference work is ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
