I am planning to do anti-racist activities with my elementary students (5th and 6th graders) this coming fall. When you’re essentially [teaching] a kid to be anti-racist, you’re deliberately encouraging them to talk about race and Racism. You’re deliberately teaching them that all the racial groups are equals. You’re deliberately showing them, yes, there are different colors and there are different cultures.

Returning to school after summer break is stressful in the best of times. I think we can all agree that this is pretty much the WORST of times and that this year's return to teaching will be unlike any other. We teachers have faced many challenges before, but the challenges before us now are unprecedented. Whether you will be teaching virtually, in-person, or somewhere in between, you will find yourself in need of digital resources to support your curriculum.

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.

During Fall 2020, I taught gifted education at the high school on our south-side. The south-side is known for its low income housing and its primarily Hispanic population. As an itinerant gifted education teacher, I work at several schools. Our district has extremes of schools – high income communities at one extreme, that have the characteristics of private schools, to the other extreme of Title 1 schools with 100% free and reduced lunch programs.

Eric Iversen. An example from history About 20 years ago, the idea of K-12 engineering education struck many people as bizarre. It registered as little more than a gleam in the eyes of a small number of educators seen as fringe by most of their colleagues, a few policy-makers worried about the technology innovation ecosystem, and scattered engineering professionals involved in outreach events to kids in their local communities.

TeachVid is an amazing online tool for learning foreign languages that I just found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog. TeachVid reminds me a tad like EDpuzzle where educators use interactive videos to assess student's learning. Also, educators can create a "virtual" classroom and create assignments that contain: videos, worksheets, etc. Finally, TeachVid makes it easy to flip a classroom or lesson and let student's learn at their own pace.

Districts around the country are sharing plans for the reopening of schools this fall. In many cases the plans are rather complex and impractical for working families. For example, many have schedules in which students attend school part time, which could involve being in school buildings two to three days per week or having schedules that require being in the building for just the morning or afternoon.

Does the word assessment remind you of the nerve-racking time you had in the school and college? Despite all this, I am sure you will agree you would not have learned the way you have if there were no assessments.

Knoword is a super fun Vocabulary game that is perfect for integrated technology into the classroom/home. The way this works is definitions are given w/ the starting letter of the word while a timer counts down. The player tries to answer as many correct words by typing/spelling them correctly before the timer runs out. Best of all, there is a teacher portal where educators can create their own "word" packs to integrate w/ their curriculum as well as track student data.
