How Certain Words Change How Children Feel by Terry Heick While I often talk about ‘scale’ as one of the primary challenges in education –and have also wondered about curriculum , too–a more subversive concept constantly at play throughout education is tone. As an ‘English’ teacher, I always explained tone to students as a kind of ‘attitude’ that can be expressed in a variety of implicit and explicit ways–from words (said and unsaid) and body
MILWAUKEE — On a muggy afternoon in late June, about 20 kindergarten through second-grade teachers sat in a classroom on the third floor of Milwaukee’s North Division High School. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly, but the heat didn’t seem to bother the teachers, who were absorbed in a math lesson. Danielle Robinson and Alicia Socha, two teachers in the district, led the lesson.
Over the last 12,000 years, a pivotal shift occurred in the human genome, driven by the advent of agriculture and the shift to a carbohydrate-rich diet. A new study conducted by an international research team, including scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, has revealed that humans have dramatically increased their capacity to digest starches, marking a significant moment in human evolution.
At the end of July, McDowell Technical Community College in Marion, North Carolina, hosted a party for something people don’t typically throw parties for: Applying for financial aid. The campus is often quiet after 5pm, but on this day, it was transformed into a loud and lively space for Latino families from the western part of the state. While they waited for their turn in an upstairs computer lab where bilingual education advocates could help them fill out their FAFSA, they ate from a hodgepod
I've just finalised the plans for a session for GCSE and 'A' Level teachers and students later this month as part of the programme of events offered by the GA Gloucester Branch. It's an upate of a session I created for the GA Oxford Branch last year. I explore some of the ways that teachers and students can research case studies they need to remember for exams to make them come to life a little more, and ensure they are a little more authentic, contemporary and relevant, as well as memorable for
MAGNETIC ELECTRICITY, OR JUST A SUMMER STORM? Do you know what it is? Few really do. Maybe you. For the rest of us, let’s start here. You will find the result “illuminating.” Magnetism and electricity. They are the same thing. And together, they are a force of nature. Let’s see how. It’s all about photons.
Editor’s note : This article was produced with support from the Education Writers Association Reporting Fellowship program. In a state full of rural, tucked away corners, Lincoln County is one of Montana’s most rural and tucked away. The county of 20,000 people is located in the state’s far northwest corner, bordering Canada and Idaho’s panhandle. Its communities are dotted around the Kootenai National Forest, whose 2.2 million acres of firs, pines, spruces and towering mountains define the crag

Traceability and Mass Policy Feedback Effects By Brian T. Hamel , University of North Texas Theory suggests that policy benefits delivered directly by government are most likely to affect the voting behavior of beneficiaries. Nearly every empirical study, however, analyzes a policy or program that meets this criterion. To address this limitation, I compare the electoral impacts of two New Deal-era employment programs—the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Public Works Administration (PW
