It was no secret that the pandemic hurt student performance. But its precise effects are still being quantified. New national test scores, released Monday, reveal that the disruption may have been even more severe than already anticipated. Over the last two-and-a-half years, students’ math and reading scores saw a historic decline, according to the results of a Congressionally-mandated test—known as the “nation’s report card.

In a fifth-grade class at Redlands Unified School District in California, students sit in pairs, building LEGO® Education robots that hop. They're laughing, chatting and (sometimes) getting a bit frustrated. They're also coding, measuring and problem-solving. This is purposeful play. And right now, some district leaders and researchers say that's precisely what both students and teachers need.

Laura Robb has long championed the idea that reading and access to books are civil rights. In this story of turning around reluctant readers, the celebrated educator makes a powerful case that when kids have lots of book choices and lots of time to read in and out of school, they’ll become readers for life. The post Grow a Love for Reading with an Ocean of Books first appeared on MiddleWeb.

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.

Do you remember a wedding or funeral you were helping to plan? Was affordability your top priority for the big day? An asymmetric market is one in which one side of the transaction has almost all the important information needed to make a wise decision. Examples include buying used cars, buying homes (without inspections), or even receiving medical treatments.

I reprint this post every October, to remind all of us about the treachery of bullying. In October 2006, thirteen-year-old Megan Meier hung herself in her bedroom closet after suffering months of cyberbullying. She believed her tormentors’ horrid insults, never thought she could find a way to stop them, and killed herself. She’s not the only one. In fact, according to StopBullying.gov, 52 percent of young people report being cyberbullied and over half of them don’t report it to their parents.

One of the best ways to get kids excited about learning is by incorporating music into classroom activities. Studies have shown that music has a positive effect on cognitive function and memory recall, so it makes sense to use it as part of our lesson plans whenever possible! There are endless possibilities when it comes to using music in class. Today, I sit down with Elizabeth Peterson, the creator of SEAL, Social-Emotional Artistic Learning , a unique method of integrating the arts with SEL t
