Guides students in understanding their strengths as well as areas in need of improvement.

Using your mind’s eye, visualize a good school. What does a good school look like? Maybe you see a place where children are excited and classrooms buzz with activity. Maybe you see a place where children are enjoying a nourishing meal together or running around on a well-maintained playground. Maybe you see children from diverse backgrounds learning together.

Kareem Edouard has been doing research for years on how to make children’s media more inclusive. And these days he’s putting those ideas into practice — on a big platform. He’s applying his research as a creative producer for a new show on PBS called Work It Out Wombats! , aimed at teaching concepts of computational thinking to kids ages 3 to 6. Edouard is no stranger to making media.

On June 7, 1776, the Second Continental Congress listened as Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed a resolution declaring the United States independent from Great Britain: “Resolved, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that […]

Schools can’t afford to lose teachers of color. And with public schools struggling to fill teacher vacancies with qualified educators, district and school leaders can’t afford to lose any more teachers,period. Today, less than one in five teachers identify as Black, Hispanic or Asian American amidst an increasingly diverse student population. It is time to take a hard look at the policies that keep our diverse students from learning from teachers who look like them.

Nowadays, an important responsibility of administrating student and teacher learning includes implementing edtech for a school or district. Schools use many edtech tools and platforms, ranging from student-facing note-taking apps to teacher-facing AI-driven grading platforms. But it’s time-consuming for leaders to help integrate technology efficiently with already-existing school processes.

Last year, I relocated to my home state of Tennessee from New York City, and I had to secure a car for the first time in many years. As luck would have it, my first winter back in Tennessee was one of the state's coldest on record. Just enough snow fell in late December to make driving, especially up my steep driveway, a daunting experience. As I slowly crept up the hill toward my house, my tires spun in place.

As educators, it is easy to spend most of our day putting out little fires. We are constantly in need of more time. More time to plan, more time to research, more time to teach, more time to connect, more time to assess, and more time to engage. What if I told you I found it? I found time! I found time in structures. John Hattie found that the tipping point of a 0.4 effect size was the point at which student performance surpasses the expectation of one year’s growth in one year’s tim

Joshua Davenport feels like he really knows how to talk to people. After a stint as a restaurant server, eight years working as a community crisis liaison, and the last three years as a restorative interventionist in a public high school, he’s learned how to read people, how to build their trust, and how to form meaningful connections with them. Those are all skills that he expects will serve him well when he becomes a classroom teacher in the not-too-distant future.

For professors and students, summer break has arrived! (Not so much, though, for parents figuring out child care.) We couldn’t let too much of this special season pass without bringing you an EdSurge summer reading list. It’s more than a little partial, because every single recommendation is a story of ours, published so far in 2023. However, to bring a bit of balance, we based our selection on which higher ed stories have been most popular with you, our dear readers.

You’re still crossing Central Asia, but already the Pacific Ocean glistens into view. While you might be familiar with East Asia’s coastal contours from looking at world maps, you’re now seeing them upside down.

In the second I trace my own political trajectory as an anthropologist. The third part concerns our friendship and David’s political legacy for anthropologists.

If there is any hope following the Supreme Court’s decision to gut affirmative action and overturn more than 40 years of precedent last week, it might be this: Selective colleges and universities are suddenly pledging “unwavering commitment” to access and inclusion. If only many of them had really made that effort in the first place. I’m still reading through heartfelt statements from college presidents touting the importance of race-conscious admissions and having people from different backgrou
