I had the chance recently to work with an awesome teacher-led school here in Colorado. Because the school already is pretty amazing, we spent most of our day and a half together fine tuning a few aspects of its work. One of the core values of this school – stated front and center in its mission statement – is its commitment to guiding students to become self-directed learners.

Steam trains were a terrific way to travel in a bygone era. Every chance I get I take a ride on one I take it. I don’t consider using them today to get to work or go on holiday because I can now ride in a re-imagined version of those old and cumbersome workhorses. New trains are fit for today’s conditions-more sustainable, more comfortable, and faster.

The Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Academy (IDEA) serves 330 students in grades 9 through 11. Students come to the school from 39 different Dallas neighborhoods—bringing a wide range of social-emotional experiences. Courtney Egelston, the school’s cofounder and assistant principal, learned early in her attempt to implement personalized learning that teachers had to address students' emotional needs.

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.

Children at a child care center in Mississippi. Photo: Kim Palmer. The average American student now takes 112 standardized tests through their K-12 career. In preparation for these tests, too many schools spend hours on test-prep or skill-based drills. Despite this investment of time and money, today’s students may not be prepared for college, careers, or the complex problems life presents.

One of the best ways to have students improve their writing is through peer review and feedback. Having kids partner up to share and discuss their work allows students to take ownership of their learning process and get more one-on-one support than could be offered by the teacher alone. However, if you’ve tried the peer review process with your students, you know the challenges are numerous.

Years ago, I was having a conversation with someone who I knew as a brilliant mind in using technology. They were heavily recruited by both Microsoft and Google coming out of university, and they were able to create things using technology that I couldn’t dream of at the time. I asked them a question after marveling about something they just had explained to me that they were creating. “Out of 10, how good do you believe you are with technology?

There are so many good things happening in education that there's really no excuse for a leader NOT to highlight the work of students, staff, and the community. Our school is no exception. I see our team working really hard, and their commitment has led to world-class learning experiences for our students. One of the challenges with sharing some of these pinnacle experiences is that they can leave people who have not been connected to the journey feeling like the work is unattainable.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.

Do you have time to teach technology skills to your students? Unless you teach technology, probably not! In a perfect world, students would learn how to use technology in tech class and would APPLY that knowledge in your class as you explore math, science, history, etc. Sadly, fewer and fewer schools offer technology class on a regular basis. If your school does, you are one of the lucky ones.

It was August of 2000. I was about to enter my very first year teaching fourth grade in Pennsylvania. At 21 years old and a new college degree in hand, I thought I had a clue as to what it would take to be a new teacher. I had no idea that my first year teaching would be one of the most difficult and emotional years I’d ever have. My experiences that first year would change me for the rest of my life – both personally and professionally; experiences that I’ll share when I event
