When streaming live video, the right camera makes a difference. Camera quality is second only to sufficient network bandwidth for ensuring that a virtual meeting is not disrupted by choppy or frozen images. Virtual meetings are now commonplace in school districts. In fact, nearly half of the 231 district leaders and 295 principals who responded to a 2022 EdWeek Research Center poll said they are more likely to hold parent-teacher conferences online.

When classrooms and conference rooms abruptly moved online three years ago, we all experienced moments of technical frustration. Whether dealing with connectivity issues or clumsy virtual interactions, which were sometimes accompanied by awkward background noises, we persisted. Fortunately, the education sector had time to smooth out some of these wrinkles, especially with improved connectivity and advancing technology such as artificial intelligence (AI).

Black folks aren’t waiting on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or the College Board to curate and disburse Black history to us. As despicable and harmful as the Florida governor’s recent rejection of the pilot Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course was, DeSantis does not get to decide when and how we learn Black history. And as welcome (and overdue) as it is that the College Board is finally creating an AP African American Studies course, they also don’t get to tell us which Black voic

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.

As a former molecular biologist turned college and 7-12 educator, I have taught laboratory science classes for the past 3 decades. I’ve seen a lot of changes in science education (especially digital content) over the last 30 years, but one challenge has remained the same: students have to learn laboratory skills. As a science department chair at a high-performing public high school in Arizona, I can attest firsthand to the stress this component of science education places on young, new science t

Congress is weighing a significant change to the teaching profession — one that proponents hope could help attract strong candidates to the classroom while retaining those who are already in it. The American Teacher Act, a bill introduced in the House of Representatives in December by Rep. Frederica Wilson, a former teacher, would establish a minimum salary of $60,000 for every public school teacher in the country.
