Just because this school year has ended doesn’t mean the crisis facing our nation’s youth is over. In fact, the data suggests the exact opposite. During the 2022-23 school year, suicide skyrocketed to the second leading cause of death among children aged 10 to 14 in the United States. Research shows some youth are more affected than others. Nearly 1 in 3 high school girls said they had considered suicide.

MENLO PARK, Calif. (Newswire.com) – According to Gloria Mark, Ph.D., attention spans are declining, averaging just 47 seconds on any screen.

A growing problem in American classrooms is that teachers don’t resemble the students they teach. Eighty percent of the nation’s 3.8 million public school teachers are white, but over half of their students are Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and mixed races. The small slice of Black teachers has actually shrunk slightly over the past decade from 7 percent in 2011–12 to 6 percent in 2020–21, while Black students make up a much larger 15 percent share of the public school student po

As educators, we fully appreciate that parent communication is a cornerstone of the PreK-12 private school system. When conducted effectively, communication between schools and families can profoundly influence students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. However, barriers can often impede this vital exchange, resulting in lost opportunities for collaboration and growth.

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.

When I started teaching in 1986, I was so busy worrying about what I would teach that I neglected to learn who I would be teaching. During those first few years of teaching, learning all of my students' names seemed to take forever. I even remember coming to a parent-teacher conference, and there were a few kids' names that I still hadn’t learned.

I have been supporting the use of Andragogy for delivering PD to educators for over a decade now. It is ironic that when I explain what it is to teachers they get it and agree that it makes sense. The problem is that all educators are programmed in the teaching of kids. Pedagogy is child learning. When we consider that educators deliver most of their PD to other educators from a pedagogical perspective, it may answer the age-old complaint educators have had for centuries, a strong dissatisfactio

Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that creates models and systems capable of generating new content, such as images, text, music, and more. These systems learn patterns and structures from existing data and generate new instances resembling the training data. Generative AI is often based on deep learning techniques, explicitly using generative models such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs).
