Adam Moler and I will kick off the second season of The Social Studies Show on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 6 PT/9 ET. We are excited to work with our EduProtocols Plus members to better understand the role of Archetypes in understanding historical events. The Archetype Foursquare EduProtocol (Chapter 13) helps students at all levels demonstrate that they can transfer their learning from one subject (English) to another (History).

When teachers think their students aren’t paying attention in class, they’re probably right. And that’s true even when instructors force students to put away their smartphones. That’s what Georgetown University professor Jeanine Turner found in her research about how tech has shaped social relationships. Her argument is that our internet-connected devices have changed the way people relate to others, even when devices are temporarily removed.

Example of the talk meter shown to Cuemath tutors at the end of the tutoring session. Source: Figure 2 of Demszky et. al. “ Does Feedback on Talk Time Increase Student Engagement? Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial on a Math Tutoring Platform.” Silence may be golden, but when it comes to learning with a tutor, talking is pure gold. It’s audible proof that a student is paying attention and not drifting off, research suggests.

It is crucial to have a positive parent-teacher relationship with our students and staff when becoming a teacher. They are not the only ones we have these relationships with. When I stepped foot into the classroom for the first time, I quickly realized how important it was to keep a positive teacher parent relationship with the parents and guardians of the students.

While World War II may have ended long ago, it left a resounding impact on the world. The war from 1939 to 1945 involved most countries, civilian and military resources, and world capabilities. Sadly, this also resulted in millions of fatalities. Due to how impactful this time was, students must learn about it. Thankfully, there are amazing World War II lessons to ensure students understand key aspects of the war, including the causes and turning points.

Sociologist Casey Stockstill spent two years observing “all the richness happening” inside a Head Start preschool in Madison, Wisconsin. Then, she figured, she ought to look at one other early learning program, for good measure. The Madison preschools shared much in common. Though one was funded by the federal Head Start program and the other was private, they both had five-star quality ratings from the state, hired experienced educators, used play-based curricula and followed similar routines.

Here is one interesting hypothesis: Despite the persistence of anti-Black racism, White Americans report feeling worse off than Black Americans. We suggest that some White Americans may report low well-being despite high group-level status because of perceptions that they are falling behind their in-group. Using census-based quota sampling, we measured status comparisons and health among Black ( N = 452, Wave 1) and White ( N = 439, Wave 1) American adults over a period of 6 to 7 weeks.

It’s home to 100 million people and represents the developed world’s largest concentration of wealth, population, and international airports. Six of Europe’s 10 busiest international airports are in or near the Blue Banana, including two of London’s six: Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW).

On Christmas Eve in the village of Willerby, the children sing carols door-to-door. The adults and older children lead the littler ones down the only street, past the old pub, past the barrows, past the hardly ever open post office and the church. Then, pools of light falling from open doors, they sing. At the end of the evening the singers gather at the green and then on to a kindly house for mince pies, hot cocoa and mulled ribena in front of an open fire.
