Imagine you are a struggling reader. You dread reading…in any class. You feel like a failure, and you are starting to hate school. One day, your science teacher brings in a Microsoft HoloLens headset. You put on the mixed reality glasses and pick up the science article that the teacher wants you to read. You begrudgingly begin reading. After only a few sentences you are lost because you don’t know what “light energy” means.

Legacy devices and legacy systems commonly provide opportunities for cyberthreats to enter the school’s network in two instances: when they are not or cannot be updated. Frequently in K–12 settings, and across many industries, end users choose not to shut down their computers. While it may make life easier in the short term, this prevents the device from installing necessary updates.

We all know that teachers should feel appreciated every day. As a former high school science teacher, I was filled up by the positive notes from students, small gifts, and verbal affirmations received during teacher appreciation week. Recognition is an important way for teachers to feel appreciated; we believe that in our four essential elements of teacher belonging ( Agency, Development, Equity, and Wellness ), appreciation is relevant to all categories, especially Development and Wellness.

Last spring, we looked to summer with hopes that the 2021-2022 school year would be different, easier, better. In many ways it was. Students returned to their school buildings, we had months of lower COVID rates and some of kids’ favorite learning strategies—like group projects, stations and flexible seating—came back. In other ways, this school year was harder.

What if students could earn work experience, wages and university credits at the same time? Sounds too good to be true? Not really. Colleges have already come up with a model for this by offering work-based courses , which pair students with businesses and other organizations to solve real-world problems. With COVID-19 normalizing remote work, creating this kind of program is easier than ever.

Summer school as we’ve traditionally known it hasn’t worked well for a long time, especially from an equity standpoint, but we all know that change tends to come slowly to educational institutions. I would submit that in 2022, after two years of extraordinary learning loss, a transformation shouldn’t wait any longer. Today’s students have different summer learning needs, and we have better tools and methods to teach them.

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.

CHICAGO – Parents and educators agree that a key goal of K-12 education is to ensure that students are “future-ready”—with the knowledge, skills, and drive to navigate their careers and lives. Americans look to the education system to equip young people to succeed in this environment, but traditional approaches have often fallen short with the rapidly changing future of work.

Last month, schools across the country celebrated Earth Day, many bringing children and families together to clean parks and plant trees. That’s excellent, but it’s time to talk about the other 364 days of the year. We’re not minimizing what happened on that one day. Trees are desperately needed on our hot, blacktop-covered school playgrounds, and parks that welcome children and families matter deeply.

It is hard to believe that we are just about to wrap up another school year. It has been a busy year, full of opportunities to learn in new, authentic ways and of course, at times, has been challenging as well while we navigated any transitions in our learning spaces. As we start to wind down, it is important to keep pushing through strong to the end of the school year which makes it the perfect time to try some new ideas and engage students more in learning through choices in how to show what t
