For example, one tool allows students to simply record a teacher's lecture.

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. — When Natalia Molina began teaching her second grade students word problems earlier this school year, every lesson felt difficult. Most students were stymied by problems such as: “Sally went shopping. She spent $86 on groceries and $39 on clothing. How much more did Sally spend on groceries than on clothing?” Both Molina, a first-year teacher, and her students had been trained to tackle word problems by zeroing in on key words like “and,” “more” and “total” — a simplistic ap

A couple of years ago, as schools that had been forced to go virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic began to bring students back on campus, Pedro Olvera noticed that his phone started ringing more. Olvera spent much of his career as a school psychologist in Santa Ana Unified School District, just a stone’s throw from Disneyland, where about 40 percent of students are English learners who speak Spanish.

Planning ahead This two-year plan is for a combined HL/SL class. It will also work if you are lucky enough to teach your HL and SL students separately. Tomorrow I will provide a one-year plan for teaching SL students. Though the IB Diploma psychology is recommended as a two-year course , I know that some teachers have to fit it into one year! The recommended teaching hours from the subject brief are: This equates to about 3 hours a week for SL over two years and around 5 hours for HL.

In this post I want to address what I see as the tension for people of faith between three well known concepts, 'Open-mindedness', 'Critical thinking' and 'Indoctrination'. My specific focus will be on how Christian schools deal with them. For some of my readers who identify with other faiths, what I have to say has equal relevance to you too. Educating the whole child, involves many things, but the role of faith in their (and our) lives must be central and obvious.

With the rise of AI, I’m thinking about what it means to be human? How is the human experience lifted up or pulled down by AI? Do you care if it’s a human or a bot?
