To say that there is a great deal of pressure on educators today is a gross understatement. It is shared with me during conversations that they feel it is difficult to catch their breath and keep up with all that is expected of them. While this has led to an increase in stress and anxiety, it is always made clear to me that they want to grow and improve.

In today’s highly digital learning environment, school leaders must be vigilant in their efforts to keep students safe from physical harm and to keep their data secure online. K–12 IT teams are increasingly involved in both areas: They’re implementing new tech for physical security and strengthening schools’ cyber protections. Unfortunately, schools face many challenges in their drive to protect students and staff.

From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis Follow @coolcatteacher on Twitter As part of 80 days of AI and HI, I've been testing ChatGPT to see what I think of it for math teachers. In this post, I'll talk about how math teachers can get totally accurate math problems (and answers) from ChatGPT. I'd like to add that this will also be a benefit to science teachers and other teachers using statistics and data.
Generative AI holds tremendous promise for all stakeholders in higher education. But guardrails are needed. Strong governance that empower instructors are at the core of a responsible approach to using generative AI in academia.

More than three years after the onset of the global COVID-19 health pandemic, researchers are only beginning to scratch the surface of understanding how acute the long-term effects of the shuttering of schools and a shift to virtual and hybrid learning environments are having on students. Recent data suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic halted more than two decades of momentum in math and reading achievements.

Robert Talbert is a math professor, so numbers are his thing. And the way the grading system in education works has long bothered him. That became clear a few years ago, when a particularly bright student in a calculus class Talbert was teaching bombed the first exam. The student knew the material, but she just wasn’t a good test-taker. Her score on that exam was so low, in fact, that she realized she had no chance to get an A in the course, no matter how well she might do on future tests and as

Algebra can be breathtaking. Yet most people don’t encounter it this way. Algebra’s power and significance remain hidden inside a system of symbols and rules. For far too many, these symbols and rules lead to frustration and disillusionment instead of understanding. Such disillusionment continues to put the entire idea of requiring the subject in high school and college up for questioning and spirited attack.

The U.S. has a two-pronged labor market problem: a labor shortage and a skills gap. If every unemployed individual in the U.S. found a job right now, there would still be 4 million open jobs. Furthermore, a National Federation of Independent Business survey found that 54 percent of business owners struggle to hire qualified workers.

My sixth-grade teacher inspired me to be a fast typist and gave me independent reading time so I could accomplish my goal of finishing Gone with the Wind.
