In most classrooms today, students are seen working together in small groups, perhaps in learning stations in the classroom, and taking a more active role in learning. When I was in elementary school, we often were paired with a classmate for different activities and it was a great way to develop our social skills as well as develop new perspectives in learning.

When my children were small, they loved the book “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” by Mo Willems. In the book, a persistent pigeon begs, with increasing intensity, to drive a bus. As he pleads, children reading along with the story are meant to say “No” over and over again, thus reinforcing the concept for small children that there are limits, and that perhaps letting a pigeon drive a bus might be as foolhardy as letting a child eat napkins for dinner.

By Charles Sosnik. Recently, I wrote a piece for the Grit Daily website entitled “Technology is Overwhelming Education and That’s Why We Need More of It.” The premise for the column was that using more, sophisticated technology could take the pressure off teachers and give them more time to teach. In the column, I listed some ideas that could help guide schools and bring them more in line with the rest of the world.

Research shows that the early years are the best time for children to learn tolerance and respect for kids from other races, cultures and backgrounds. But that’s not happening nearly enough, according to a new report. That’s because preschools and day cares are deeply segregated on average — even more so than K-12 schools. The report, released this week by the Urban Institute, a Washington-based think tank, found that early learning programs are twice as likely to be nearly 100 percent black or

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.

STEM-based learning programs are being introduced in schools all across the globe. The intake is slow, but it is gradually starting to make its way into most K-12 schools. And why not? STEM has proved to be a much better educational program in terms of learning effectiveness and leading to better career opportunities than the regular curriculum. Students gain valuable experience with the help of hands-on learning activities practiced extensively in STEM-based education.

At some point, every student struggles. Some find it hard in the first year of school, whilst others race ahead of their peers but flounder once they’ve reached their teen years. As a teacher, you can’t give every student full attention. Though you do your best to adapt your lessons for a very wide range of abilities, there are some occasions when a student needs even more time.

The U.S. Department of Education published its annual look at student loan default rates last week, singling out 15 higher education institutions for rates so high that they are at risk of losing their access to federal student aid. At some of these schools, more than half of students default on their loans. It’s a dismaying figure. But to be honest, after spending much of the last few years reporting on for-profit certificate schools, which make up the bulk of the education agency’s list, we we

But for thousands of teachers, this will be their first year leading a class of their very own.
