Choice boards are a fantastic tool for honoring learner variability and providing students with meaningful choices. Not every student enjoys the same task, so giving them options is critical to maximizing their motivation and focus in a lesson. Choice boards allow us to honor our students’ preferences, needs, and interests, making their learning experience more engaging and effective.

Do you recall Mr. Lorensax from “ Ferris Bueller's Day Off ”? Anyone? Bueller? With his monotone voice and lack of enthusiasm, he could convince anyone that history is incredibly boring. Unfortunately, this portrayal isn't unique and reflects a broader issue with how social studies is perceived. As a high school history teacher, whenever I meet new adults and we talk about our professions, I often find myself being met with a familiar reaction: "I disliked the subject in school, but now I find i

LOS ANGELES — When Abram van der Fluit began teaching science more than two decades ago, he tried to ward off classroom disruption with the threat of suspension: “I had my consequences, and the third consequence was you get referred to the dean,” he recalled. Suspending kids didn’t make them less defiant, he said, but getting them out of the school for a bit made his job easier.

Those financial aid offers are notoriously indecipherable and misleading, making it difficult to make college cost comparisons or even know how much you’ll owe. Often crafted in a way that make a college look more affordable than it is, they’re full of technical jargon and abbreviations.

Colleges make it hard to even understand what they will cost, with confusing financial aid offers full of indecipherable jargon. But that’s not where the trouble ends. In a kind of bait and switch, for instance, students typically get less institutional financial aid if they return as sophomores, since colleges figure they already have them on the hook, a surprise for which they haven’t budgeted.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

It is human nature: as long as rules and regulations exist, there will always be people who try to break them. Modern technologies, however, don’t make the teachers’ lives easier. While some years ago, it was enough to watch the students writing the test to ensure they did the work independently, with the development of contract cheating and a variety of online resources, educators need to check plagiarism and authenticity of each assignment.
