To students, knowing how to ‘compare and contrast’ sounds academic, not real world, but we teachers know most of life is choosing between options. The better adults are at this, the more they thrive. Common Core Standards recognize the importance of this skill by addressing it in over 29 Standards, at every grade level from Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade.

Engagement and creativity play such important roles in the learning process, but with the myriad of other requirements and obligations, they can easily get lost in the abyss of deadlines and mandates. Creativity helps develop a deeper sense of learning, yet we keep our “creative” units until after state testing is over. Recently, I met with two education leaders to discuss how to improve teacher and student engagement through creativity.

The Apprenticeships website is offering packs of interactive activities for Years 7-9 designed to increase awareness of apprenticeships and T Levels at an early age. Learners can work their way through the pack to begin exploring what apprenticeships are, the different kinds of apprenticeships available and what exciting careers they lead to. There is also a useful T Level activity to promote.

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.

Recently, five of the eight Ivy League universities have reclassified their economics degrees from social science to science, technology, math, and engineering (STEM). As opposed to a philosophical change, college departments are utilizing a federal shift implemented in 2012. It allows graduates of quantitative economics and economics to apply for more generous visas compared to those granted non-STEM majors.

STEM, an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is an essential component of the educational experience. Famous biologist Judith Ramaley coined the acronym in 2001 when she was the director of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The institution began to ramp up programs in support of STEM subjects in a boatload of American schools.

Look around you. At least 95% percent of the things around you were created by an engineer, or an engineer played a role in its creation. Engineers and their skills are in high demand across many sectors, and that is why they are one of the most lucrative jobs. Engineering is, without a doubt, one of the most admired careers in the United States. Most people who are already in the job market but outside engineering will confess that they wanted to venture into engineering at some point in life.
