Recent public debates have focused a spotlight on K-12 math pathways. But there’s been less attention paid to what math skills students need early in life, to set them up for elementary school in the first place. For early learners, exposure to math concepts can be at the mercy of their family’s economic status or related factors like whether their parents are college-educated.

In this lesson plan, students type several sentences in a word processing program like MS Word. Use the font color palette to label parts of speech, i.e., blue for subject, red for verb. Use sentences from a book they’re reading in class, spelling words they’re working on, or a teacher hand-out. This makes grammar fun. Click on lessons for a full size alternative.

Imagine not only waking up to a pandemic, forced into an isolated space without the physical and emotional support you need for learning, but also discovering that the place you call home has been deemed unlivable. This was the reality for many of the students and their families at Luther J. Price Middle School (LJPMS) families after the city of Atlanta condemned property in the Forest Cove neighborhood in 2021.

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.

“Our generation is set to inherit a complicated world with challenges we did not create; now is the time to start listening to us.” – Henrietta and Emerald, 2022 Flight Crew Most policymakers and educators grew up during times that look vastly different from the world we live in today. Self-driving cars or chat GPT were merely futuristic ideas meant for fictional movies like Back to the Future or cartoons like The Jetsons.

For many years now, the "Pretty Good Physics" email group has been one of the fundamental resources for physics teachers that I recommend in my summer institutes. Teachers email questions to the group, and they're answered within hours, usually by people who know what they're talking about. Most importantly, the PGP group is positive in culture. It's not a forum to kvetch about our administrators, the dang kids these days, or that silly College Board.
