Mindfulness changed Mason Rollins’ life. When he was a first grader at Rivermont Elementary School, Mason was overwhelmed by his emotions. His principal, Jill Evans, often had to take him outside until his meltdowns subsided. Mason Rollins, right, listens to a mindfulness lesson in his fourth grade class about reducing test-taking anxiety. But that was before Mason was introduced to a program at school that focuses on student well-being.

All teachers want to see their students succeed. They don’t want to see students fall behind, but everyone learns differently and comes into the classroom with a different level of preparedness. Teaching to these differences isn’t always easy, yet striving to achieve equity in the classroom is essential to ensure every student has the specific resources they need to meet the academic demands of your class.

Last night, when I could not sleep, I got up and wrote some code. I added some features and data checking to my Wordle solver helper program. When I finished I felt good about my work and myself. I think that made it easier to get to sleep and I slept well. It got me thinking this morning. When I was in university and still learning how to code I would occasionally get frustrated and feel less confident.

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.

Picture provided by the author, attribution CC-B Y Mathematics is a crucial subject for every student as it provides a strong foundation for many other disciplines. However, many students struggle with mathematics due to a variety of reasons, including a lack of motivation, fear of failure, and negative attitudes towards the subject. Mindfulness and social-emotional learning (SEL) can play a vital role in improving maths performance by addressing these challenges.

Alongside my five AP workshops and the rapidly filling Conceptual Physics Summer Institute , I need to do some work with my department to organize the physics floor for the upcoming school year. See, because virtually all of my school's students take physics, I work with two other physics teachers. One of these is leaving; the other is transitioning into more environmental science than physics.

Investigating immunity: uncovering the mechanisms of the immune system Published: Our immune systems work around the clock to keep us safe from disease. Whenever we become infected with a virus or bacteria, our immune systems jump into action – locating, identifying and destroying the infectious agent. This complex process involves a whole host of different cells, each with their own specific function.
