Considering the ongoing traumatic upheaval on school communities in recent years, and the unrelenting pressure on educators to work under difficult, uncertain and constantly vacillating circumstances, it is not a matter of if educators will experience the corrosive effects of prolonged and extreme stress, but rather when. The question is, what can schools do to prioritize and support the mental health and well-being of the invaluable educators at the heart of their school communities?

I am a geologist and I teach at a college. Geology is a fascinating science, because it lets me think about rocks and minerals, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, plate tectonics, climate change, and water. I grew up on an acre of land outside of south Detroit (Wayne, Michigan). As a kid, my dog and I would slip under a fence and climb a “mountain” behind our property.

The metaverse is the latest tech frontier, with Facebook ( now called Meta ) and other tech giants rushing to build a parallel social and professional universe in virtual and augmented reality. And plenty of schools and colleges are wondering: Will this new realm work for education? A new study co-authored by one of the world’s most prominent researchers on the effectiveness of edtech, Richard Mayer, offers some answers to that question.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of giving one of the keynotes for the Teaching Experiment Academy (TEA) Summit. The TEA consists of STEM faculty from a group of California universities, all committed to a year-long process of redesigning their courses around mastery learning and alternative grading systems. Last year as the TEA was just getting started, I gave a talk on alternative grading systems as fuel for the group's work.

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.

18 teachers in 6 different countries participated in this STEM education project, which aimed to raise preschool students’ awareness of the value of animals for nature preservation, using the example of sea corals. Students were challenged to ask questions and offer solutions at all stages of the learning process. Why are animals important in STEM teaching?

The Okefenokee swamp is the largest “black water swamp'' in north america. Let’s use this large wetland in order to help us understand the difference between an organism, a population, and a community. The Okefenokee swamp is home to many plants and animals. You will find alligators, water lilies, pitcher plants, raccoons, rattlesnakes, spiders, along with many more plants and animals.

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. It’s no secret that women have long been underrepresented in STEM careers, but recent numbers show another problem. Since the 1990s, the number of women in these careers has increased. But, unfortunately, they have stayed relatively the same over the last decade. All this is in light of the fact that, in the coming years, there will be more tech jobs available than qualified candidates.
