Failure is merely progress. Engineers, inventors and designers understand that it permits them to restart the design and development process and allows them to imagine new and improved designs (Petroski 2018). With the right STEM curricula, educators can inspire learners to adopt this mindset, changing their view of failure for a lifetime. Embracing failure makes learners stronger.

Water is a simple resource: we drink it, we use it to shower, we wash our dishes with it, and do laundry using it. It’s not easy to define water because people usually think of it as just water. A colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that is the groundwork of the fluids of all living organisms. We know that it’s a necessary resource that’s consistently part of our daily routines.

Whether you’re a principal facilitating a change initiative or a teacher leader facilitating a content-level team, it’s essential to set clear parameters with adult learners upfront so that neither goals, nor trust, nor people’s hard work is compromised. Elisa MacDonald shows how. The post Facilitators Build Trust with Clear Parameters first appeared on MiddleWeb.

Sugarland, TX Foucault’s pendulum is intriguing proof of the Earth’s rotation. A pendulum is something suspended from a set point that swings back and forth due to gravity. I saw the Foucault pendulum, a special kind of pendulum, at my local museum, and I was captivated by watching it knock down all the pins (very slowly). Later, I researched more about it and was surprised to see its true importance and how it relates to Earth’s rotation.

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.

However, many may feel lonelier, stressed, or even depressed. While there are several clinical reasons for sadness and depression, these winter blues may be attributed to a specific type of depression: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Melbourne, Australia Student life is an enjoyable experience; however, a gold tip would be to enjoy it responsibly! From ensuring to look our best and getting new friends to hanging out at night, we often forget to prioritize our health. Many students even lose track of their studies only to wake up towards the examination period. With the start of the new year, this now becomes a perfect time to reshuffle our daily routines, check out a textbook that a lecturer recommended a few months ago, and
