Thick Slides help students extract key information from text, lesson, or video and complete a deconstructed paragraph that asks for specific fields like who, where, what, when, and why? They are a fun and engaging formative or summative assessment that gives students some structure for writing.

In my last blog post, Using the Station Rotation Model in Math , I wrote about the benefits of shifting from a whole group, teacher-led lesson design to small-group differentiated instructional sessions.

We recently heard from an elementary teacher who admitted to skimping on social studies instruction in her classroom. She explained that she knows it’s important, but “I just don’t know how to do it.” This is a common problem. Elementary teachers have lots of ideas and models for teaching math and reading. That’s not surprising, since these subjects get the lion’s share of teaching time, and are what most states test.

The Oct. 7 terrorist attack and subsequent Israel-Hamas war transformed American college campuses into a different type of battleground. Extreme anti-Israel protests have been accompanied by a surge in antisemitic incidents. School administrators are walking a tightrope, trying to balance students’ freedom of expression with campus safety.
