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.

I’ve updated Ask a Tech Teacher’s list of ten math tools we posted in 2016 to be shorter and with a new option. The new one is larger and in the #1 position. I think this will better reflect what’s going on today in our classrooms: It can be difficult to teach math, but with the proper tools, it can often be made easier. This article will discuss some of the best tools for tutoring math online, and the way they can help teachers to improve their student’s skills.

In late September, my sophomores were packing up for the day when I noticed a group of boys, heads down, all focusing on what looked to be magazines open on their desks. They lifted each page carefully, with a mix of reverence and deep concentration. ”¿Tengo Andres Guardado?” “Sí… ¿Tengo Mbappe?” The boys burst into rib-busting laughter. I moved closer, trying not to disturb the scene unfolding before me.

My first foray into using video in my teaching involved a TV cart wheeled into my classroom, replete with a connected VHS player—and no remote. As a teacher or a student, you may remember a holiday-week screening of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, or a school-wide showing of a “ Stranger Danger ” PSA? Whether a feature film or an instructional video, the ‘80s and ‘90s were a ‘press-play’ culture that expected students to sit still, absorb and retain, while the educator sat in the back grading.

Language learning has many benefits. At the socio-cultural level, a new language means being introduced to a new culture, new traditions and new ways of conceptualizing the world. When you learn a second or third tongue you do not simply learn its linguistic system but you also learn its underlying cultural codes. Languages are not empty vessels and certainly are not culturally neutral.

As world leaders return home from the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference ( COP27 ), an annual international climate meeting that was held in Egypt this year, they have many action items to attend to.

This is a nexus—kids and climate—where research is becoming more and more robust, yet public awareness and understanding lag far behind.

The national learning assessment NAEP is known as the “nation’s report card” because it gives policymakers a window into national learning. Released last month, the latest results revealed a big national decline in math and reading scores , charting just how disruptive the pandemic was to learning. The scores also led to states jockeying for position, as they looked to see whose education system was more devastated by the pandemic.

How do we know when a child is gifted? This topic is quite complex. Many studies have been published about this. For Treman in 1925 the main criterion in order to evaluate whether the child is gifted was the level of intelligence. Later in 1972, Marland referred to multiple criteria in his report (Clark, 1997; Davasl?gil, 1990). According to the report, gifted and talented children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high
