EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. — Carrie Rodgers gestures toward the silver medallion sitting atop her fridge, then waves it off. It’s nothing really, she shrugs. Still, she reaches for the disc and sets it on the kitchen counter for a closer look. Two roofs and a pair of windows are etched into its center. Encircling the outline of those homes, the badge reads, “MAKE COLORADO AFFORDABLE 2022,” and below it, “IN GRATITUDE FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.

Ask a Tech Teacher

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023

As a working technology teacher, I get hundreds of questions about computers. As often as possible, I’ll share those with you as well as my solutions. They’re always brief and focused. Enjoy! Q: My desktop icons disappeared for no known reason. What do I do? A: This is a question I get more often than you’d think. One moment, they’re all there, lined up like little soldiers.

When we give students time to read a book they’ve chosen, time to practice skills and strategies they’ve been taught, time to read for pleasure and intellectual growth, time to talk about what they’ve read, they build reading stamina and endurance, write Dorfman and Krupp. The post Independent Reading Helps Build Endurance 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.

As educators strive to offer students a comprehensive learning experience, combining diverse subjects is a compelling choice such as integrating literacy and engineering. This dynamic integration fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among others. Let's explore some benefits and examples of combining literacy and engineering, offering educators and students opportunities to venture into these domains.

Recently, STEM teachers have been afforded more opportunities to grow as leaders, such as through the Noyce Track 3 Master Teaching Fellows (MTF) program. However, as Poekart (2012) noted, the movement from teacher to teacher leader requires a “profound identity shift” (p. 174). Not enough research exists that delves deeply into how this identity shift occurs, particularly the mechanisms underlying it.

Career in STEM

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023

In a world driven by technology and innovation, it’s more important than ever for students to have an understanding of their potential career paths, especially in the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). As the saying goes, you can’t be it if you can’t see it! To help students see careers in action – not just watching people talk about their career on YouTube – Career In STEM® is excited to announce a new partnership with databot™!

Usually, when I begin writing an essay, I’m hopeful, or at least determined. Not this time. I’m making myself write this essay, even though it scares me. Writing about bodies – about my body – scares me. Our bodies are so sexualized and commodified that talking about them in school or in relation to school feels almost forbidden. When we talk about our bodies, especially bodies perceived as feminine, many people immediately think about sex.
