Sometimes you don’t have enough time to do a full experiment during class. But, you still want to be able to demonstrate the lesson! All of these science experiments can be done in about 5 minutes! Plus, you likely already have everything you need to do them. If you don’t have everything you need, all of these ingredients can be easily found at a grocery store.

This is a question I get often from teachers: Technology is always an extra layer of work in my classroom. How can I blend it into what I already do without taking time I don’t have? When I first addressed this issue fifteen years ago, it was all about replacing traditional classroom tools with one on a computer. For example, book reports were typed on the computer instead of handwritten, or math facts were practiced with a math game instead of flash cards.

When a Texas task force set out to draft a plan for attracting and keeping more teachers in the state’s schools, it ran into its first problem before work ever began. The group initially was composed of school district leaders and had no more than one teacher, recalls Zeph Capo, president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers. That didn’t sit well with him or members of the Texas AFT.

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.

Today’s high school graduates are increasingly questioning whether higher education is worth it, and that’s pushing colleges to rethink the value they bring students. This was a key theme I heard at last week’s SXSW EDU conference, where several panels addressed what today’s generation of students want, and how colleges can respond. It was also a top-of-mind issue for me coming into the conference.

In honor of Women’s International Month, we would like to spotlight some amazing women scientists who have made significant contributions to STEM and our world. Historically, women in STEM are often overlooked, undervalued, and even discouraged from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. But today, women in STEM are breaking barriers, shattering glass ceilings, and achieving incredible accomplishments that are changing the world.

Two math celebrations are coming up on March 14th : Pi Day and World Maths Day Pi Day Pi Day is an annual celebration commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 since 3, 1, and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. Daniel Tammet, a high-functioning autistic savant, holds the European record for reciting pi from memory to 22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes.

Several years ago, when Rachel S. White was compiling a list of every public school district superintendent in the country, she began to notice something peculiar. As she flitted from one district website to the next, manually — and painstakingly — entering each superintendent’s first and last name into her database, White saw a pattern emerging. “There were a lot of Marks and Scotts and Daves,” she says.

I’ve used flipped classrooms in my Middle School classes. After the initial excitment that somthing changed, it fell into a routine with not much better results than any other teaching method. But not worse, either. I tossed it into the category of something to try when whatever I was using didn’t work. That’s why this article from EdSurge caught my attention: Does ‘Flipped Learning’ Work?

One of my rituals at the start of each school year is to clean student desks and chairs. Year after year, before students arrive for their first day of school, I scrub and shine these desks. My hands, raw from cleaner, fail to remove remnants of short-lived romances tattooed into the laminate. Profanity from past students lives on in the rubber sidings of these desks.
