User Generated Education

Our Title 1 school is lucky enough to have a decent size outdoor garden that is overseen by community volunteers. One of their goals is to teach our students about the garden. Because of the that, I offered gardening as a possible elective for my GT (gifted and talented students). See Offering Electives to Elementary Students for more about why and how I offer electives to them.

Can Brain Science Actually Help Make Your Training & Teaching Stick?

Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape

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.

Renewable Energy Sources

STEMe

Houston, TX Due to global warming, governments and corporations are becoming increasingly wary of their carbon footprints from their respective industries. This concern is because global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. It absorbs excess sunlight and solar radiation, resulting in higher surface temperatures, more frequent droughts, more powerful hurricanes, and heavier rainfall in some regions of the world.

STEM Education Guide

Paying kids for good grades can be a helpful solution! In high school, I had my first part-time job at a small, local shop. I was so excited. It allowed me to save up for my first car (a cute little hatchback), empowered me with my own spending money, and instilled in me a sense of purpose. I would work any chance I got. I flew there immediately after school and spent my weekends helping stock shelves or ringing up purchases for customers.

The Lack of Sustainability in the Design Cycle: The Problem Behind Global Plastic Pollution

STEMe

West Des Moines, Iowa Look at the clock because right now is the time for a change. 32% of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans; this is the equivalent of pouring one garbage truck filled with plastic per minute. If this continues, the ocean's plastic flow rate will double by 2030 and quadruple by 2050.
