Photo by Jordan Benton on Pexels.com I haven’t got time. It’s a familiar refrain and I doubt there’s a teacher out there who hasn’t said or thought this. I know I have. The more I’ve really unpacked what effective teaching looks like, the more I’ve come to realise that to do it really properly takes more time than I have available. I’ve looked back at my planner from previous years (does anyone else keep theirs & do this?

A college probably wouldn’t hire a teaching assistant who tends to lie to students about course content or deadlines. So despite the recent buzz about how new AI software like ChatGPT could serve as a helper in classes, there’s widespread concern about the tendency of the technology to simply make up facts. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology think they may have a way to keep the chatbots honest.

A good school improvement plan helps align district and school priorities, clarifies what teachers are driving toward, and sets clear ways to measure goals at the end of the year. But what does this look like on a day-to-day basis?

One of my family’s favorite pastimes is playing the board game The Settlers of Catan. The winner is the first player to earn ten victory points. There are a variety of ways to earn victory points, which means that winning the game is a matter of both luck and strategy. The last time I played Catan , I started the game “lucky” by rolling the highest number and getting to place my settlements first.

Students hear a lot of advice about the importance of what they do in high school, but they aren’t all hearing the same guidance. At least, that’s according to a new report.

My hero is an Olympic Ski-jumper who never won an Olympic medal. I don’t think he ever won an event at all. People laughed at him. Many thought him a joke and it’s easy to see why. He was much heavier than every other competitor in his event and had to borrow equipment to train and compete in. He was also – like me – very short-sighted and had to wear big thick glasses under his ski-goggles, which often misted up and left him unable to properly see.

My brother Charles and I played soccer and baseball growing up. It helped us stay active, and we learned how to compete and be aggressive in order to win. What sports didn’t offer us was the opportunity to develop awareness and appreciation for our cultural identity. When I was nine years old, my mother enrolled my brother and me in folklorico — a traditional cultural dance that emphasizes Mexican folk culture — at our local recreation center.

Middle-grade students have a wealth of ideas about who they are and what they want for their futures. At the same time, they too often find themselves having to reconcile their hopes and dreams with messages about what “good” careers look like, what is possible for them and what it means to be successful. At this critical stage in students’ development, their future success can be profoundly impacted by how their school approaches career-connected learning and if it is using a coordinated approa
