" It's the follow-through that makes the great difference between success and failure, because it's so easy to stop. " - Charles F. Kettering Have you ever made a commitment to do something, only to find yourself needing to follow through? How about getting motivated at a conference or professional learning, only to keep everything the same once you are back in your classroom, school, or district?

Have you tried the new AI app called Diffit. I love it—you can take primary sources that you find on the internet, paste in the URL and the program will generate the source with questions, both multiple choice and short answer. You can adjust the length of the source. If it looks too long, just click "shorten." Once you're satisfied, you can open it in google docs.

I struggle with perfectionism every day, and sometimes, it prevents me from authentically showing up for family, students and myself. I am a social sciences and Spanish teacher and a mother of three children, and with that comes the social and self-imposed pressure to show that all the pieces of my life fit together like a shiny mosaic. I would like to believe this is a personal battle, but this drive toward perfectionism also impacts our students.

Jesse Wiese spent seven years in prison; when he left the Iowa facility in 2006, he thought his debt to society had been paid. While inside, Wiese had earned an undergraduate degree and puzzled over how he might do right in the world. He started studying for the law school admissions test, thinking he could become a lawyer and maybe, one day, a judge.

I support school teams nationwide through the process of unpacking survey and focus group data from their communities. One consistent trend across school districts is that most adults overestimate their ability to understand and empathize with their students’ experiences at school. Even teachers who regularly work directly with students and have the best intentions tend to misrepresent students’ feelings and beliefs about their academic and social experiences at school.

Ian Cook, a longtime professor and social anthropologist, still remembers the first podcast he ever heard. It was a podcast version of the BBC radio show In Our Time, where a panel of academics discussed the history of ideas. The podcast included not just the radio show, but an extended conversation, where the guests kept talking after the formal interview and covered points they didn’t have time to get to on the broadcast.

When you think of a college student, you might imagine a young adult leaving home, moving into a dorm, navigating a campus and maybe attending a fraternity party. That’s an outdated image. We’ve written a lot about how older adults with jobs and children are a giant group on campus. But a more surprising species is spreading through the college registrar’s rolls: teenagers living at home, taking yellow buses to high school and maybe scrambling home before curfew.

Since the release of ChatGPT a little more than six months ago, students have quickly figured out how to get the free AI chatbot to do their homework for them. That has sparked a burst of activity by teachers at schools and colleges to change their assignments to make them harder to game with this new tech — and hopefully more human in the process. But pulling off these “assignment makeovers,” as some instructors are calling them, turns out to be challenging, and what works differs significantly

AI-driven tools may signal the integration of technology into learning in profound ways; however, the long trajectory of edtech has not yet changed the fundamental organizing structure between teacher and student. Teachers—with the vast majority of schools still organized as one teacher for every 15 to 35 students—mediate students’ classroom experiences in myriad ways.

Chief equity officers in public school districts across the country have one key mission: to help address the inequities in our education system. But as more equity officers are hired, their individual challenges — and how to solve them — are unique. In practice, the work of a chief equity officer varies vastly across counties, cities, neighborhoods and the schools they serve — often even classroom to classroom.

What is Mindfulness? Unpacking what 'Mindfulness' is can be mixed and confusing. It seems while many teachers talk about mindfulness, each does it for different reasons, and with different understandings of what it is. At times, the concept of mindfulness, can become lost in the challenges teachers have at times, handling and teaching diverse students.

For decades, our country has invested in creating a more diverse STEM workforce by launching efforts that increase the representation of women and people of color in the field. Out-of-school time programs have played a large role, funneling more girls and youth of color into K-12 STEM education programs that introduce them to the field. On the surface, this strategy makes sense — if we get more girls and young people of color interested in STEM early, we’re bound to make strides toward a STEM wo

Students in American K-12 schools are increasingly diverse. But that diversity is often missing in the teachers at the front of classrooms. That’s especially true when it comes to the number of teachers who are Black men: the group makes up only 1.3 percent of American school teachers, according to a widely cited federal survey of the 2020-2021 school year.
