Teaching creativity and creative thinking in K-12 has always been valued but often challenging to implement. Many standards and curricula don’t call out creativity explicitly, and teachers aren’t often trained on how to teach and assess creative thinking. As such, many students enter college and the workforce not having enough practice in key critical thinking skills that they need to be innovative problem-solvers and effective communicators.

A few months ago, an assistant principal at my school gave me feedback I wasn’t prepared for. This colleague, who I manage, shared that during a recent meeting I had facilitated, my tone made them feel psychologically unsafe. Their words, and the description of their experience in the meeting left me stunned, confused and disappointed in myself. I kept thinking, “Me?

Dina Strasser has noticed a tangible impact when her classroom door is closed on a regular basis, as security suggests. "I am isolated, physically and socially." Students are less likely to wander in. Teachers to wave or stop by. So she's leaving it locked but open. Defiantly. The post Why I’m Keeping My Classroom Door Open first appeared on MiddleWeb.

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.

Despite the widespread use of technology in the classroom, handwriting remains an essential skill for academic success. Cultivating neat penmanship among elementary students can prove challenging since students’ fine motor skills can develop at different stages. However, with a little practice and strategic encouragement, you can improve your student’s handwriting skills making them more legible.

In order to support a diverse educational community, it’s crucial that schools find ways to foster inclusivity across the curriculum. Diversity and inclusion are particularly important in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines, where minority groups are systemically underrepresented. Schools can implement a variety of strategies that make STEM more inclusive and inviting to students.

As educators, we are constantly on the lookout for innovative ways to integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into our classrooms. One such engaging method is through the use of literature-based STEM challenges, which not only foster a love for science and engineering but also promote literacy. Today, we are excited to share a fantastic resource that does just that: "The Perfect Nest" STEM Challenge.

A diverse STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) workforce is key to the continued success and innovation in these areas. A diverse workforce is created through various genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds being equally represented throughout the entire STEM workforce and in individual roles. In honor of International Women’s Month, this article focuses on creating a welcoming environment for women in STEM in early childhood education and into their future careers.

In my school's conceptual physics program, we give cumulative written tests after the first and second trimesters. In lieu of a final exam*, we are once again running the Woodberry Forest Conceptual Physics Tournament! This is a competition for 9th graders, to be held at 1:00 on Sunday May 19 2024. We've done this before, including the last two years after a pandemic-enforced break.
