One question often lurks in the minds of college students: “What am I going to do after I graduate?” For those who plan on graduate school, their immediate future is pretty much set. But for most, what happens next is often in doubt. There’s long been the concern that employers won’t take online degrees as seriously as campus-based ones, though these days online degrees are pretty mainstream.

The kids are not alright. Medical experts agree that, after nearly three years of pandemic-induced strain, children are in the midst of a mental health crisis. One signal of just how severe a crisis: The U.S. Department of Education is ready to give schools $280 million through two grant programs to help young people access mental health care. It’s the first wave of a total $1 billion—funded through the federal Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—that the department will spend on youth mental healt

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.

Hello, I am a Lyrik that lives in the Physical Education Department. Mr. Peters was up super early to take me to the school pool for swim practice. He wants to make sure that every member of the swim team can hear the guidance and feedback needed to improve their skills. One of the better parts of my job is to help the person who has me to communicate clearly so that any important information and direction is heard.

To move beyond traditional classroom discussion focused on answering a few teacher questions, Dr. Barbara Blackburn advocates student-driven discourse that emphasizes “on-task” talk and academic vocabulary. The result: purposeful dialogue leading to deeper understanding. The post Staying on Task with Meaningful Student Talk first appeared on MiddleWeb.

Phytoplankton produce oxygen through photosynthesis, allowing organisms like us to breathe and survive. We often imagine the deep blue sea as a long, unchanging expanse. In reality, this intricate ecosystem varies wildly from coast to coast, as well as from the surface to the hidden depths. Ocean currents are massive forces, blending and churning water.

Table of Contents. What are enzymes? Enzymes are protein molecules that are found in all living organisms. They are biological catalysts that increase the speed at which a reaction takes place by decreasing the activation energy. Enzyme names usually end with the suffix “-ase.” Enzymes are highly specific in their function. An enzyme can and will cause only a certain reaction or a certain type of reaction to take place.

Although it is perhaps a bit peculiar to apply Shakespeare to physics teaching career contemplations, the notoriously misinterpreted question of “ Wherefore art thou ?” begs us to look for answers in our students. We believe it is vital to scrutinize the “wherefores” of successful physics teachers, in both the classic meaning ( why teach physics?) and the inapposite sense of the word ( where to find physics teachers?).

It’s often said that “we teach as we were taught” More generally, we teach as we believe. We certainly tend not to teach in ways counter to our beliefs, even if there are data suggesting we should change.
