The teacher transmits information to the student. The textbook transmits information to the student. The online tutorial or learning software or YouTube video transmits information to the student. . The student’s role is to be the recipient of what is transmitted. The student’s role is to regurgitate what was transmitted with enough fidelity that the teacher or software system can check off that the student ‘knows’ it.

The growing body of research in Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) science provides both an opportunity and a challenge for teachers and school leaders looking to implement strategies to help meet the evolving needs of their students. MBE research can be leveraged to design classrooms that better support each individual student, but this same body of research can seem overwhelming when attempting to make it actionable in a particular learning context.

Several weeks ago a client asked me about video walls on campuses. I hadn’t been focused on them, so I dug in and researched. My impression now is that some colleges and universities are exploring the use of video walls for teaching and research, and have found a pretty wide range of functions. There’s also an interesting diversity of technological details within this category.

Nearly 40 percent of students starting at 4-year public institutions took at least one developmental (or college-level readiness) course while enrolled from 2003 to 2009. For the University of Alaska, that number is even higher: an internal study shows 60 percent of students required developmental coursework over the last 10 years. Engineering professor Herb Schroeder is concerned about that, given students required to enroll in developmental courses have shown to have lower success rates , whil

As more and more ELL students enter the U.S. public school system , teachers are facing the twofold challenge of communicating not only with these students, but with their families as well.

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.

It’s not just what you say that matters. It’s how you say it. Take the phrase, “Here’s Johnny.” When Ed McMahon used it to introduce Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, the words were an enthusiastic greeting. But in The Shining, Jack Nicholson used the same two words to convey murderous intent. Now scientists are reporting in the journal Science that they have identified specialized brain cells that help us understand what a speaker really means.

What do you know now that you wish you had known when you started teaching? Anyone who’s not a beginning teacher can surely point to several items that would make for great items of advice for those starting their careers. Thinking along those lines, I came up with fifty items that I think could help any teacher get better. These fifty I divide into five areas: rapport with students, assignments and assessments, delivery, collegiality and professionalism, and logistics.
