When longtime educator Zachary Cote first read about the release of ChatGPT about 15 months ago, he says his first instinct was to be “concerned” about its impact in the classroom, worried that students might simply ask the AI tool to do work for them. He still has that concern, but as he stepped back to think about it, he also saw a way to “leverage” the tool for a goal he had long fought for — to help bring social studies education, and especially the teaching of civics, to broader prominence

When we have students watch us write in our teacher notebooks about what we're reading, we not only share our expectations for their notebook-keeping, we give them a mental model for writing critically and analytically about what they read, says literacy leader Laura Robb. The post How Teacher Notebooks Can Help Students Learn first appeared on MiddleWeb.

When he was in high school, Zachary Farley latched onto the idea of becoming a teacher. Then in college, when he started learning Mandarin, a deep love of languages took hold, and he began to make new plans. After graduating, Farley entered a program to become a speech-language pathologist. This path seemed like the best way to blend his love of linguistics with his interest in teaching — that is, until he took a job as a paraprofessional at an elementary school in his hometown of Corona, Califo

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

In today’s classrooms, there’s a growing trend towards creating a more interactive learning experience for students. Teachers are adopting new innovative approaches, such as integrating a makerspace in the classroom. This is a designated area for hands-on learning that helps to foster creativity and other essential skills among students. This concept has grown dramatically since educators are seeing how well it fosters student engagement and social interaction.

In the world of education, fairy tales and STEM principles are merging in an innovative teaching approach. By combining the classic fairy tale of "The Three Little Pigs" with its fractured fairy tale counterpart, "The Three Little Pigs: An Architectural Tale," educators can craft unique STEM challenges that engage students. This approach revitalizes a classic story while practically introducing architectural design and engineering concepts.

Last Friday, on March 22nd, students and teachers at Mildred Ave K-8 School visited Northeastern University for the first time. About 50 eighth grade students split up into three classrooms to learn all about Catapults, Reverse Egg Drops and Earthquakes. In the Catapults section, students learned about projectile motion and accuracy and precision. They then were provided popsicle sticks, a rubber band and a lot of duct tape to construct their own catapult.
