“ Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. ” ― Dalai Lama Typically, I am a very focused writer. Each post, for the most part, contains ideas and strategies focusing on improving teaching, learning, and leadership. I often talk about accountability, evidence, and efficacy. This post will not follow that recipe.

If you’re an EdTech teacher, you’re likely thinking about teaching your students some coding. There are many options, but what do your students really need to learn and how can you integrate it into your classroom? The folks at Let’s Start Coding are here with the answer. They believe that real typed coding (not block or drag-and-drop) is critical to introduce to your students as early as 4th grade, so they’ve created a product, curriculum, and lesson plans to help you do it.

This year I am trying a more transparent and strategic approach to my technology integration. I've always been mindful of the purpose of the tool, but I wonder if I've consistently conveyed that purpose to my students and colleagues. I have a plan. I know what I'm doing, but do others see it? So, to get things started, I created a Digital Dashboard Google Document on which my students will see what sites we will be using consistently, the rationale for using that site, and have an area in which

The Cornerstone for Teachers
SEPTEMBER 3, 2017
I want to talk about the emails that I get on an almost-daily basis from veteran teachers who are completely overwhelmed at how the job they signed up for 20, 30, or 40 years ago is nothing like the job they are being required to do today. These are teachers who entered the field because they love kids, and they love teaching. They’ve done what they believed was an outstanding job for a decade or more, before suddenly finding the criteria for competency shifting, the bar raising, and a who

“People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” In the library of Steve Jobs quotes, this may be among the top—particularly among entrepreneurs and the news outlets that cover them. I get it. It’s counterintuitive, even revolutionary. And it reserves invention for a select few who claim to “think different,” reading the minds of consumers to predict what they don’t even know they want.

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.

Teachers work extremely hard and the job can be thankless some days. Seemingly, more and more is being placed on teachers and educators, where they have moved from full “plates” but to full “platters” So why do I focus on “innovation” so much in education? Doesn’t this become just another “thing”?

The first day of school here at Liberal Elementary School is always an exciting day for both teachers and students. This year we had the extra added bonus of having it also be on the same day as the Great American Eclipse. From the moment students arrived at school on August 21st the talk was all about the upcoming solar eclipse that day. Of course our preparation for the Great American Eclipse started much earlier!
