In his former school district in California, San Ramon Valley Unified School District, Rahul Bir noticed that the schools seemed inundated by technology. It pointed back to something he’d noticed before. Schools have picked up all these new tech tools but it’s not always clear how teachers should actually use them. Lightning struck: There didn’t seem to be a place where teachers could share educational resources with each other, which might help them sort through it all.

In my school, 2nd grade and 5th grade have units on the human body. To satisfy their different maturities, I’ve developed two lists of websites to complement this inquiry. I put them on the class internet start page so when students have free time, they can visit ( check here for updates) : 2nd-3rd Grade Place organs where they belong Blood Flow Body Systems Build a Skeleton Can you place these parts in the correct place?

I have been in the world of science education for over two decades, but it wasn’t until I became a mother that I started thinking that homeschooling is best. Homeschooling is one of the best methods of educating children because it allows for a safe, personalized and flexible learning experience. Schooling at home offers a wide range of benefits, such as the ability to tailor the curriculum to suit the individual needs and interests of students, control of the educational environment, and

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.

Storyline pedagogy gives students a chance to decide what they want to learn more about. To take the lead in the classroom, our students need to know how to ask good questions. Teachers can model intellectual curiosity to help students learn how to think more critically. Asking authentic questions, ones that we don’t know the answer to, is an important part of storyline pedagogy.

Assessments are great for educators to gauge student progress and curriculum comprehension. Periodic assessments are a common way to measure student growth in a given subject area. In recent years, educators have been diversifying their approach to classroom lesson plans, which has impacted the way assessments are given to students. Many of these new, unique approaches are showing signs of increased student engagement, retention, and comprehension of the classroom curriculum.

Did I ever tell you about the Mythbusters twins? These two students knew everything in the 5th grade science curriculum when they walked through the door on the first day of school. They watched many science videos, read many science books, AND had seen every episode of Mythbusters. Have you had students like that who needed more? Well, I have a solution for you that I wish I had back then.

These fundamentals checks are just as appropriate for AP Physics C (mechanics) as for AP Physics 1. Those two courses cover the exact same topics! And, if you're going to be successful on the C exam, you need to first understand everything on the 1 exam. I've been repeatedly asked about the viability of teaching a combined section of APC and AP1. That's totally doable. because I'd teach it as just AP Physics 1 until about March.

In her first year as a teacher, Stephanie Malia Krauss quickly learned that teaching fifth grade effectively involved a bigger variety of skills than she got in her teacher-prep program. That was driven home the day one of her students walked into the classroom with soot on her uniform because her rental home had burned down the night before and her family was struggling to hold their lives together.

How does pre-birth milk expression help with breastfeeding? Published: The benefits of breastfeeding newborn infants are long-established. However, the idea of expressing milk while pregnant, before the baby is born, is a relatively new one. At the University of Pittsburgh in the US, Dr Jill Demirci is researching why antenatal milk expression is becoming increasingly popular and whether this technique might improve breastfeeding post-birth.
