While debate about professional development expands, educator hopes for feeling supported are shrinking. We can be hopeful that the connection between teacher training and student learning seems to be realized and now what’s needed is to find the right formula for improving this crucial component of school culture. In our struggle thus far to identify answers, we have created new names for PD, different ways to measure efficacy, and even innovated delivery methods, all of which have created grea

There’s lots of talk about how technology can lead students to be reliant on technology, impeding their love for knowledge. They also argue that using technology inside the classroom could prompt students to become indolent, which will have a negative effect on them in the long run. That being said, there are even researchers who claim that the traditional model of teaching – teachers conducting lectures in the classroom while students jot down notes, remains to be the best mode of teaching.

It is important to clarify part of the current narrative that American education is slow to change and is not improving. In reality, schools have changed enormously over the past few decades and have made some real improvements. It is also true that our society has continued to ratchet up the expectations we have for schools, and schools have not been able to keep pace with those growing demands.

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.

A tough student situation sparked his own dive into inquiry. Mackenzie sought ways to retain students who might otherwise seek alternative classes or drop out altogether.

I'm a strong advocate of student centred learning. I can't see any other way education can be conceived. From my early years in education, studying Freedom to Learn by Carl Rogers and my initial forays into the classroom as a fledgling educator, I have strongly believed in the principles of keeping the student at the centre of the learning experience.

It was odd sitting there as a colleague in this work being asked to speak like an expert.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Teachers work two jobs so they can buy boats and other luxury items, Arizona’s House Majority Leader Republican John Allen noted recently. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Here in Tucson, K-12 teachers get starting annual salaries in the $30,000 to $35,000 range, the same starting wage as city bus drivers, and a wage far below that of most other professions requiring a Bachelor’s Degree and professional licensing.
