Everybody is trying to find ways to help students catch up after the pandemic. One new data analysis suggests some promising ideas.

A much anticipated and highly hoped-for recovery from pandemic learning loss is, disappointingly, not materializing. Instead, grim findings from a recent analysis by three testing companies noted that stagnation is a general trend — with a few isolated exceptions. Those few bright spots hold powerful lessons for schools that are struggling, particularly those serving high percentages of low-income students.

Back in the 1980s, isostatic rebound was very much part of my 'A' level teaching, with a bit of eustatic adjustment thrown in for good measure. The idea was that as glacial periods ended, the melting of thick ice sheets released pressure on the ground, to the extent that the ground started to rebound and rise up again. This story explores research into the possible impact of a river on the world's highest mountain.

Do your students ever think their rights just appeared without a fight for them? Or, do they not realize the amount of people and hard work it took to create the Constitution? Honestly, these are common trends among students! Until they learn something, they will not just know it! So, they will not realize how power became divided between the federal government and individual states.

Her love of the park’s sandstone cliffs and caverns became the bedrock of her passion for the environment, and for securing a future where her own children could enjoy the same experiences that she did.

EWING, N.J. — Bethany Blonder and her friends lined up at the voter information table in the student union before organizers had even finished setting it up in time for lunch. It’s true that a fire drill had chased them there from their dorm on the campus of The College of New Jersey, or TCNJ. But the women were also quick to rattle off what they see as the existential issues that make them hell-bent on casting their ballots in the general election.
