Frankenmuth School District has about 1,400 students, nearly 91 percent of whom are white. Its poverty rate is about 5 percent. In contrast, to its west, Saginaw City School District is home to nearly 5,200 students, 81 percent of them students of color. Its poverty rate is 50 percent. This large economic and racial divide between two adjacent districts in Michigan shows that school segregation persists in the 21st century.

Choice boards are a fantastic tool for honoring learner variability and providing students with meaningful choices. Not every student enjoys the same task, so giving them options is critical to maximizing their motivation and focus in a lesson.

Do you recall Mr. Lorensax from “ Ferris Bueller's Day Off ”? Anyone? Bueller? With his monotone voice and lack of enthusiasm, he could convince anyone that history is incredibly boring. Unfortunately, this portrayal isn't unique and reflects a broader issue with how social studies is perceived. As a high school history teacher, whenever I meet new adults and we talk about our professions, I often find myself being met with a familiar reaction: "I disliked the subject in school, but now I find i

Interest in artificial intelligence has surged among K-12 and college educators, who are looking at ways it can be used to support both students and teachers. But in the early childhood arena, those discussions are still in the beginning stages.

Is your classroom technology falling short of its promise of changing the classroom dynamic? It's a question that often lingers in the background as district leaders navigate the vast array of options available. From projectors to interactive whiteboards, Chromebooks to iPads, the choices seem endless, and personal preferences can be tightly held. In a setting where budgets are tight, the pressure to make the right decision weighs heavily.

LOS ANGELES — When Abram van der Fluit began teaching science more than two decades ago, he tried to ward off classroom disruption with the threat of suspension: “I had my consequences, and the third consequence was you get referred to the dean,” he recalled. Suspending kids didn’t make them less defiant, he said, but getting them out of the school for a bit made his job easier.

Congratulations! You got accepted to college. The next notification you’ll get: a financial aid offer, telling you what it will cost. Those financial aid offers are notoriously indecipherable and misleading, making it difficult to make college cost comparisons or even know how much you’ll owe.

This piece by David Thomas of the University of Oxford is excellent reading. He starts by mentioning the Dune movies and moves on to an excellent look at how the sand we see is just the top layer of an ancient layer of sand which has many stories to tell. Another reminder that deserts are far from empty.

Colleges make it hard to even understand what they will cost, with confusing financial aid offers full of indecipherable jargon. But that’s not where the trouble ends. In a kind of bait and switch, for instance, students typically get less institutional financial aid if they return as sophomores, since colleges figure they already have them on the hook, a surprise for which they haven’t budgeted.
