Dave Largent, a CS professor at Ball State University, had an important reminder on his blog - Dave's not here, or is he?: Teachers need to struggle to learn (davidlargent.blogspot.com) Our students often (usually?) struggle to learn new things. I think this is especially true in computer science. We as teachers with lots of content knowledge sometimes struggle to be empathetic.

International Dot Day Center Ideas with STEM and Art (STEAM) Have you heard of International Dot Day? Dot Day takes place on September 15th. The inspiration for the day comes from the book, The Dot , by Peter H. Reynolds. In the story, the main character, Vashti, doesn’t believe she can draw. Vashti’s teacher encourages her to just make a mark and see where it takes her.

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.

The fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are at the forefront of today’s modern innovations and inventions, but without a positive STEM identity in early education, students may end up avoiding STEM subjects for the remainder of their academic careers.

Picture a science classroom where students aren’t just passive learners, but active investigators who ask questions, conduct experiments, analyze data, and solve real-world problems. The key to this type of learning lies in the three dimensions woven throughout the NGSS. Maybe you’ve even already heard of these three dimensions but haven’t taken the dive yet into figuring out how they’ll work in your classroom.

I am a proponent of my students getting to be involved in science- it’s not a secret that they love hands-on activities. The problem was that the activities the standard curriculum provided just weren’t cutting it. Simply reading and answering questions wasn’t helping my students understand the scientific concepts. To make my life easier, I made Science Weekly Five stations for my students (and my sanity!).

I became an early childhood teacher because, like so many others, I dream of making abundant, equitable access to high-quality early childhood education a reality. But a major barrier persists: We don't have nearly enough teachers, and more and more are leaving the classroom every day. Despite this challenge, the process of becoming a certified early childhood teacher is not nearly as accessible or inclusive as it can be.
