The following is a guest post by Dr. Richard Schroeder. Many sayings show how important it is for an organization to have a strategic plan. Without a strategy, a goal is only a wish. A map is only useful if you know where you are. Without a strategic vision in place, a strategic plan is useless. All roads lead nowhere if you do not know where you are heading.
by Terrell Heick Will robots replace teachers? I was asked this in an interview a years ago for Futurism and tried to offer up some abstract nonsense whose lack of clarity represented my own thinking: “Will artificial intelligence replace teachers? Will the students themselves replace teachers through self-directed learning, social/digital communities, and adaptive technology?
The first week of school is crazy. From the first day of school through at least the first week, we have schedule changes, assemblies and all the chaos! I mean my class is nuts. I needed a first week of school activity I could do with kids that would get them interested in my class in a meaningful way. We all need an activity for the first week of school that goes beyond the normal “get to know you” games.
Honestly, there are so many topics to teach in any history course. While students are naturally engaged in some, others require more planning to hook them in. Thankfully, that is not the case when teaching the Cold War! Students are also so eager to learn about the rivalry and hostility between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. There is such a fascination when learning how these two competed for political, economic, and ideological superiority.
Reports about schools squandering their $190 billion in federal pandemic recovery money have been troubling. Many districts spent that money on things that had nothing to do with academics, particularly building renovations. Less common, but more eye-popping were stories about new football fields, swimming pool passes, hotel rooms at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and even the purchase of an ice cream truck.
by TeachThought Staff Paulo Freire’s “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed” is a foundational text in educational theory. Its enduring significance stems from its profound critique of traditional teaching and learning methods. Written in the 1960s, this influential work remains as relevant today as it was at the time of its publication, offering insights into the nature of oppression and the transformative potential of education.
When Sheresa Boone Blanchard, a mother of three in North Carolina, started homeschooling her son during the pandemic, it might actually have saved her time. Isaiah, her middle child, had finished fifth grade in June 2020. With the health crisis going on, Blanchard switched him to virtual lessons when he started sixth grade. But he has ADHD and just couldn't focus without someone with him, she says.

Higher education has finally come around to the idea that college should better help prepare students for careers. It’s about time: Recognizing that students do not always understand the connection between their coursework and potential careers is a long-standing problem that must be addressed. Over 20 years ago, I co-authored the best-selling “ Quarterlife Crisis,” one of the first books to explore the transition from college to the workforce.
As educators, we’re always looking for ways to make our lessons more engaging and effective. One powerful strategy I’ve found is “racking and stacking” EduProtocols. But what exactly does this mean, and why is it so beneficial? Let’s dive in! What is Racking and Stacking? “Racking and stacking” refers to the practice of sequencing multiple EduProtocols within a single lesson or unit.
An afterschool club in partnership with the Smithsonian and the World Wildlife Fund aims to build environmental leadership skills through hands-on experiences and exposure to a wide range of "green" careers
There is a long overdue movement in states and districts across the country to update K-3 reading and math curricula to ensure they adhere to research-proven practices. However, this movement has a big blind spot: preschool. Close to half of all four-year-olds in the U.S. now start their formal education in a public preschool classroom, and this share is steadily growing.
As stated in the subject brief, the content for the new psychology course comprises the three approaches – biological, cognitive and sociocultural – and research methodology. It is important that students are able to apply any of these to each of the four contexts. On Paper 1, Section A contains two compulsory short-answer questions assessing knowledge of content from two of the three content areas (approaches).

This is an edition of our Future of Learning newsletter. Sign up today to get it delivered straight to your inbox. I’ve been reporting on data science education for two years now, and it’s become clear to me that what’s missing is a national framework for teaching data skills and literacy, similar to the Common Core standards for math or the Next Generation Science Standards.
Image by Bob McEvoy from Pixabay The IB does not recommend that the Psychology SL course is taught in one year only. However, I am aware that some teachers are in the position of having to do that. Naturally, this will require more hours than the 3 hours weekly that is sufficient for the two-year course. Below, please find a plan for 4.5 hours weekly (approximately three double lessons) and one for 5 hours weekly.
Written by Keith Hart Saul Wainwright commented on the previous post in this series, CLR Jamesand the idea of an African revolution:“I have been wondering about how to tie the Egyptian revolution into thelarger world system. I was not aware that CLR thought there would be twomore revolutions, one being Russian and other being American.

We humans are terrible at quickly analyzing complex datasets. There is one notable exception: We have the innate ability to immediately “read” a face. We can recognize them (“Is this my friend’s face?”) and evaluate them (“Is this a friendly face?”). We’re so good at this that we even see faces where none exist — a phenomenon called pareidolia. (Think of the Face on Mars , or Jesus on a tortilla.
A poet interrogates the garden of Eden origin story by reimagining it against the backdrop of East Africa’s coastal environment. Coastal Eden – Listen in the evening, frangipani fronds unfurl their lemon-yellow limbs into a cloud that fills the garden. the coastal breeze lifts palms and verdant leaves as if limp arms. coastal current, not salty brine but telluric, carrying memory thwarting geography, sea becoming alpine. coastal gusts sweet busy with heat, dizzying twisting twisting until
In the APSA Public Scholarship Program, graduate students in political science produce summaries of new research in the American Political Science Review. This piece, written by Dirck de Kleer , covers the new article by Jae-Hee Jung and Scott Clifford, “Varieties of Values: Moral Values Are Uniquely Divisive.” Values matter in politics. They help explain opinions on topics ranging from homelessness to foreign policy and our political orientations.
For over a century, the study of Neanderthals has provided significant insights into human evolution, revealing the genetic legacy shared with modern humans. However, the discovery of Denisovans, another close relative, was a surprising revelation that came to light only through DNA sequencing of a small finger bone. Since then, our knowledge of Denisovans has remained limited, with sparse fossil records and few clues about their appearance or lifestyle.

Other People’s Terrorism: Ideology and the Perceived Legitimacy of Political Violence By Julie M. Norman , London’s Global University When do Americans view political violence as legitimate? In this article, I use experimental methods to examine public perceptions of domestic political violence perpetrated to advance right-wing or left-wing agendas.
Introduction A remarkable discovery in southeastern Australia has unveiled archaeological evidence of what may be the oldest known culturally transmitted human ritual. Sticks found preserved in fireplaces within a cave, dating back to the end of the Last Ice Age, suggest that a ritual intended to cure or harm has been passed down through approximately 500 generations.

Economic Inequality and Political Responsiveness: A Systematic Review By Mads Andreas Elkjær , University of Copenhagen , and Michael Baggesen Klitgaard , Aalborg University Do political outcomes respond more strongly to the preferences of the rich? In an age of rising inequality, this question has become increasingly salient. Yet, although an influential literature has emerged, no systematic account exists either of the severity of differentials in political responsiveness, the potential driver
A prehistoric painting in Indonesia has been dated to at least 51,200 years ago, making it the earliest known example of "figurative" cave art in the world. This discovery may also represent the oldest known surviving example of a narrative scene, as proposed by a team of researchers in a recent study. Figurative artworks are those that clearly depict real objects such as animals, humans, or other identifiable subjects.

IMMUNITY, VAMPIRES, AND THE APOCALYPSE! In which order should we take them? In reverse? Alright, the apocalypse first! Is it happening? Nope. Different folks have different beliefs about the coming destruction, of which they are all certain. Mine? An asteroid. It has happened before. A two-mile wide asteroid [1998, OR2] just passed by! Remember the dinosaurs?
A hole in a bone awl must have been one of the great drivers of human expansion in its beginnings. For hundreds of thousands of years, early hominid species did not need much shelter; the climate in most of Africa made it unnecessary. However, as they expanded further north, the fossil record shows how they became sheltered. No clothing has been preserved, but an increasing number of tools to make it have been found.
This is the third post in a series on sources as the Building Blocks of Inquiry. One of the most innovative features of IDM is its interconnectedness. Yes there are separate questions, tasks, and sources. However, a good IDM will always have questions, tasks, and sources that intertwine and rely on each other. To this end, each of the features of an IDM (including the assessment) should rely on each other, bringing out the essence of the content.
EncounterEdu (formerly Digital Explorer) have produced some excellent resources over the years - I know because I wrote some of them back in the day. One of them even won a GA Award. They have now launched a new free resource. The resources have been created in collaboration with the team behind the Convex Seascape Survey. This comprehensive unit aligns with the KS3 geography programme and introduces important aspects of the ocean and science.
