The teaching profession is in crisis. K-12 teachers report the highest burnout rate among all industries nationally, according to a June 2022 Gallup poll. Job satisfaction is at the lowest it’s been in 40 years. There is an estimated teacher shortage of over 300,000. Many blame COVID-19, but if you look at the facts: the pandemic only revealed the cracks, long buckling under pressure.

Measuring the effects of extreme weather requires extreme numbers. Climate change racked up an eye-popping $165 billion damages tab in the U.S. last year, as tallied by a recent federal report. And back in September, around 82 percent of Florida school districts closed for at least one day — keeping roughly 2.5 million students out of school. With experts predicting more extreme weather in 2023, that undoubtedly means schools will suffer more disruptions in a K-12 education era already defined b

After gorging ourselves on Chinese takeout, my husband opened his fortune cookie and read the following line: “It is never crowded along the extra mile.” I had a visceral response to this seemingly harmless message. It took me a while to figure out why this banal comment evoked such anger. The phrase “going the extra mile” turns up frequently in schools.

Do you ever wonder why some people seem to be more successful than others? It could be because they understand the power of hard work and dedication. This concept is famously known as the 10000 Hour Rule, which states that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice for a person to become an expert in something. To put this into perspective - if someone practices for 5 hours each day, it would take them around 2 years to reach mastery level.

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.

I once worked at a high school where the phrase “give dignity” was tossed around like candy off parade floats. One student calling another an ugly name? “Hey, now, give dignity.” A contentious tone erupting at a team meeting? “Teachers, let’s not forget to give one another dignity.” I was brand new to the school and not at all familiar with its culture and traditions.

I grew up and attended schools in the South in an area known as the Black Belt , a name given to the region because of its large Black population and black soil. I never took a course in African American history during that time, the late 1980s and early 90s, despite being enveloped in Blackness in my neighborhoods, churches and schools. My knowledge of Black history came as sprinkling rain, a paltry amount that was never enough to have a significant impact.
