Government is a challenging class but often a favorite among students. They love to see how people make laws, how the president handles tasks, and how the different branches divide responsibilities. However, the United States has so many complexities, so there is a lot to remember. Thankfully, there are fantastic resources for AP Government review! These will be sure to have students ready and confident when it is time for government unit exams!

In early spring this year, the local chapter of my teacher professional development organization held our first in-person conference since the pandemic. In the weeks leading up to the conference, I obsessively checked our registration platform almost hourly to see if the confirmed attendee numbers had increased beyond the low double digits. Sadly, I never received the confidence boost I had hoped for as our attendance numbers remained, and were, embarrassingly low.

As a kid, I loved designing and building things! All my dolls had their own custom- made furniture and Lego cars. I recently had the opportunity to design and build a maker space for educators to implement making and tinkering in their libraries and classrooms. Talk about a dream project-it was easy to get caught up in the fun of purchasing new equipment, gathering supplies, and designing experiences.

As a former public-school teacher, I know that my students sometimes acted out when they didn’t receive the additional educational supports they needed. Too often they then faced a choice: Get your licks or go home. “Licks” meant an assistant principal beat their backsides with a paddle. “Go home” meant suspension. Those who chose the former would come back to class dejected, disengaged and depressed.

What have we been conditioned to think an effective classroom looks like? For many, it’s a vision that includes tables of students sitting quietly, working diligently as the teacher walks around or pulls small groups. But when I reflect back on my own childhood and on what I’ve learned in my career as a paraprofessional, it’s clear that the most effective classrooms aren’t necessarily the ones that are most quiet or still, but the ones that prioritize relationships and community building.

Testing, in the form of low stakes assessment, is a widely utilized activity in most classrooms across the world. On the surface, there are somewhat direct benefits of formative assessment for the student. The ability to successfully retrieve information from memory overtly informs the student of what they know. And that is great information for both student and teacher to know.

For homeless students, chronic absenteeism is dismayingly high. The number of students who regularly miss school in general has risen since the pandemic, but for homeless students, it’s been especially bad. Even though federal law requires states to provide public education to homeless students, delivering on this has proven troublesome. And getting homeless students to show up to school has been an elusive goal for many districts.
