Students learn best when they are relaxed, happy, and feeling loved. It is challenging to include those characteristics in classes when you are concurrently trying to achieve school goals, comply with curriculum timelines, juggle parent concerns, and blend your lessons with those of colleagues. This is where mindfulness becomes important. It reminds teachers that the fulcrum for learning is the student’s emotional well-being.

Students no longer need physical objects to use to schedule their classes and organize their assignments and homework, planner apps can do the job perfectly.

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.

New Hampshire School Uses CoderZ to Stem Learning Loss and Engage Students in Learning. When funding is tight, schools have to get creative when they want to introduce new programs and adopt new technology. That’s what the Middle School at Parkside in Manchester, NH did when it wanted to develop a robotics team. “It’s basically up to us to figure out how to fund these types of initiatives,” said Pauline Soucy, Computer Science Educator.

I was reading through The Big Book of Computing Pedagogy , as one does, the other night. Specifically, the section on student misconceptions. Misconceptions are one of my favorite topics in teaching computer science. The articles in this book are very helpful in understanding what student misbelieve and why they do so. I’ve seen students with all of the common misconceptions and, of course, I try my best to help them overcome them before they get students into trouble.I tried to remember if I ex

Prior to teaching cell transport in my Biology class, I like to take a deep dive into the cell membrane, its function, structure, and behavior. I truly feel that an extra few days to establish a strong understanding of the cell membrane helps my students better understand cellular transport. Today on the blog, I am sharing how I teach the cell membrane and I will be showcasing one of my favorite labs of the year- the Cell Membrane Bubble Lab!
