It’s summer, that time of rest and rejuvenation, ice cream and bonhomie. Like the American plains or the African savannas, it stretches endlessly to a far horizon that is the Next School Year. It represents so much time, you can do anything, accomplish the impossible, and prepare yourself quintessentially for upcoming students. So what are the absolute basics you should learn this summer that will make a difference in your Fall class?

Early in my career, I taught at a school with a very progressive inclusion policy. Within my completely integrated classroom, a diverse group of learners had the beautiful opportunity to experience one another’s strengths and different ways of learning. Core to the spirit of an IEP is each student having a sense of belonging, being known in an affirmative way and supported to succeed at school.

Many of my early projects followed a repetitive and unfulfilling path. The project would begin with a bang and generally included lots of excitement and commitment. But, by the end of the journey, the momentum had waned and only a whimper of enthusiasm remained. This was most evident when I reviewed the major products that students produced and presented.

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.

Stanford University recently released a report titled Science Education in the Age of Misinformation. The report makes the case for why misinformation is a problem and how scientists and science educators might address the problem.

One of the best options for children of all ages is educational building and blocks toys. Made with many materials such as plastic, wood, foam, etc. These are accessible in many colors, shapes, and sizes. Kids can construct houses, buildings, cinematic characters, robots, animals, and many more. The educational toys help to grow the child’s hand and eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and motor skills.

You might have made soap bubbles as a kid. They look beautiful but are fragile and pop within seconds. Did you know you can make stronger bubbles that can last longer than your ordinary soap bubbles? You can achieve this just by using a homemade recipe, and the result is more or less similar to plastic bubbles. Plastic bubbles are composed of a plastic polymer; in this simple DIY recipe we use a sugar polymer to accomplish our goal of making unpoppable bubbles.

On May 24, the unfathomable happened. Again. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in Uvalde, Texas, and 17 more wounded, in the sanctuary of an elementary school. A natural human reaction is to defend, to protect and to guard—which translates into “hardening” schools. School hardening proposals include protecting school entrances and windows, adding metal detectors and armed security on school premises, or even equipping teachers with guns.
