I am concerned about the impact that the imbalances in education have on teacher engagement and job satisfaction. I know firsthand the toll that the imbalances caused by traditional workflows in education can have on a teacher. Those unrealistic workflows almost drove me out of education. That’s why the theme of balance has permeated my work for years.

These days, social-emotional learning has become a buzzword, joining the likes of “growth mindset” and “grit.” The real meaning of SEL sometimes gets lost when districts try to incorporate it into lesson plans. In actuality, SEL and well-being and wellness come from searching within ourselves and determining what we need in order to sustain and thrive.

Innovation in education is a must if we want to keep up with technology and global advancements. The traditional teaching methods no longer serve today’s learners. There has to be a paradigm shift in our approach to education. Teaching needs to be student-centered, but most of all, it should be based on the graduate profile. Mastery-based learning is a competency-oriented teaching method.

I felt helpless. In Orange County, Calif., COVID-19 cases were rising exponentially. Local schools had reverted to fully remote learning, restrictions had increased to prevent community spread, and our students and families were experiencing higher levels of COVID-19 infection, food insecurity, housing insecurity and isolation from their peers than had been the case since the pandemic started nearly nine months earlier.

Differentiated classroom instruction has always been part of U.S. public education, but today’s focus on tailoring each lesson for each student can overwhelm teachers. There are, however, best-practice approaches to differentiating instruction that enable educators to provide customized learning experiences for students without creating an unmanageable burden for teachers.

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.

Parent-teacher conferences have always been important, perhaps never more so than now, with many schools across the country closed to in-person teaching since last spring. Some students have only had access to class instruction through Zoom, an experiment that everyone hopes against reason will minimally impact children’s learning and development, but an experiment, nonetheless.

How many days of school do you have left? For most of us, the answer is … not many! With the end of the year around the corner, it’s tempting to breeze through the last few weeks with little thought for your physical space. After all, your school district may have end-of-year events like testing, prom, final projects, field trips, and more. But the school year isn’t over yet, and the instructional days that remain are still important.

BROCKTON, Mass. — It was starting to feel like a normal seventh grade lunch at West Middle School. After several days of eerily quiet cafeteria reunions, the din from the cafeteria could be heard far down the hall. The plexiglass dividers that sectioned off the lunch tables into four socially distanced stations no longer intimidated the kids; they shouted across them — or chatted happily together in one of the quarters when teachers turned their backs.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes.

From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.
