Active History Teacher
JULY 1, 2024
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.

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?

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
