Education has become a lot more complicated the last five years. Part of that is the impact of COVID on in-person and remote teaching. Another large part is the transparency now requested/required by parents as to what is going on in the classroom. The importance of education consultants, mentors, and teacher coaches has never been more pressing. Here’s a good article from the Ask a Tech Teacher crew on what that means and how you as an educator can confront the issues: Exploring the Need

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.

Last Friday, 12/9/2022, we had our penultimate field trip of the semester. Where the fourth through the sixth-grade class from Tanya Haney at Chittick school came to learn about natural disasters and preparedness. Thank you to NEU volunteers for making this day possible: Courtney, Erika, Munin, and Maya. The day focused on learning about natural disasters and natural hazards, looking at how they form and how we can prepare for them and mitigate the consequences.

Do you know what the deadliest Animal on Earth is? Is it a crocodile? How about a Lion? What about a Shark ? Maybe a Snake like a Rattlesnake ? This may come as a surprise but the deadliest animal is a Mosquito. According to the World Health Organization, these tiny insects account for over 1 million deaths a year. Most of these are caused by malaria, along with West Nile virus and dengue fever which are all deadly mosquito-borne diseases.

Stations were an all-time favorite of my students because they allowed students to get up and move, collaborate with peers, and work at their own pace. Rather than guiding my students through each station , I could see them problem-solve individually or with peers to gain a deeper understanding of the content. Below are some tips that will help you get started and put your stations in action!

During the pandemic, anxieties about math instruction have grown. Fueling them is the most recent results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which showed historical losses in math education. Falling behind in math can have long term consequences, since the subject can function as a gateway into STEM careers. And like so much during the pandemic, the losses were worse for some communities, with achievement gaps having widened during the pandemic.
