April 25th-30th. My wonderful sister is visiting from Marion, Indiana. She is uncomfortable flying, hasn’t been back here since my mother’s funeral. I can’t overstate how excited I am to see her. As a result, I won’t be around much the next week–a bit, but mostly, we’ll be talking, visiting, exploring, walking… See you-all in a week!

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.

When social media came along, higher education marketers were quick to recognize the value in building communities and audiences around their brands. For the first time ever, multiple audiences—prospective students, donors, alumni, parents—were available and delivered to us in the same space. We could market our institutions and target messaging to these groups and individuals based on their likes/dislikes and the interests they had willingly shared with Facebook.

Considering the ongoing traumatic upheaval on school communities in recent years, and the unrelenting pressure on educators to work under difficult, uncertain and constantly vacillating circumstances, it is not a matter of if educators will experience the corrosive effects of prolonged and extreme stress, but rather when. The question is, what can schools do to prioritize and support the mental health and well-being of the invaluable educators at the heart of their school communities?

Creating a culture that is student-centered, equity-focused, and future-driven does not happen without systemic and strategic work. A district needs to engage in cycles of improvement…building the foundation is hard and will vary depending on the culture in each individual district. Transformative actions that are taken will probably not be sustainable without a culture or framework that supports the work.

In the last few years, bipartisanship has come to seem more like a practice from folklore than any political reality that would pass through legislative buildings today. So it means something when a body of elected officials in the U.S. votes unanimously to approve a bill. And it meant something earlier this month when Maine’s state legislature voted 130 to 0 on a proposal to supplement the wages of child care workers.

Geology is a fascinating science, because it lets me think about rocks and minerals, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, plate tectonics, climate change, and water.

We live in a digital age which gives us many benefits. However, many kids have lost a connection to working with their hands. When kids create, they take pride in what they’ve made, break down complex ideas, collaborate with others, and learn skills that can save or earn them money. Mike Schloff created Maplewoodshop in 2016 to help all children develop life skills through woodworking in any classroom.

Need 4th grade science test prep activities? Science is becoming more and more rigorous for our elementary students over the past few years. They are expected to learn all of the complex academic vocabulary, perform hands-on labs and stem challenges, and be able to connect ideas to one another. Anytime I explain to one of my mom friends what type of work I do, they get so shocked at how much the students are learning at such young ages.
