Coding has become an essential skill in the modern K–12 classroom. While more schools are making computer science mandatory and creating more opportunities for students to learn to code, those who are blind or have low vision are often left out of this largely visual experience. Lacking this 21st-century skill could be an obstacle for those students when entering the workforce, an already difficult endeavor: According to Cornell University, nearly half of working-age adults with visual disabilit

A friend of mine (who I’ll leave anonymous, at her request) struggled with the challenges of teaching and personal life. Teaching was her passion, but its demands soon overshadowed her personal needs. Last year, she was assigned a particularly large class whose requirements consumed too many evenings and weekends, leaving insufficient time for her kids and husband.

By Betsy Hill and Roger Stark Ever since human beings started passing down knowledge, we have had to make assumptions about how learning happens and how to teach so that learning occurs. And it must have been obvious from early in our species’ development that people learn differently and have different skills. When the knowledge and skills we needed to pass down were truly a matter of survival on a daily basis, our ancestors must have known that it doesn’t matter how much teaching is going on i

Chaula Butterworth was a stay-at-home mom before the pandemic, raising her three school-aged kids. But as her youngest child’s school district sought to return to in-person learning in 2021, Butterworth felt something of a call to service. Many teachers and school staff were reluctant to return to crowded classrooms and hallways as the virus continued to spread.

Jeremy Price was curious to see whether new AI chatbots including ChatGPT are biased around issues of race and class. So he devised an unusual experiment to find out. Price, who is an associate professor of technology, innovation, and pedagogy in urban education at Indiana University, went to three major chatbots — ChatGPT, Claude and Google Bard (now called Gemini) — and asked them to tell him a story about two people meeting and learning from each other, complete with details like the names of

The first two times I tried college, I didn’t finish. There was never enough time to care for my young son, work a full-time job and do my schoolwork. And there was never enough money to pay rent, tuition and child care. On my third try, everything clicked. This time I was more motivated than ever before — to prove that I could do it, to prove the doubters wrong.

Don’t Use Physical Education As Punishment contributed by Dr. Kymm Ballard, Executive Director for SPARK Think about any time you’ve seen “army boot camp” portrayed in pop culture — are you picturing the traditional drill sergeant, ordering his troops to do endless laps and push-ups, as punishment for their errors that day? Now, with that scenario in your mind, imagine it being played out by children and teenagers at school — and instead of drill sergeants, their teachers are at the helm.

Those of us who have spent time in math classrooms or helping our kids with homework around the dining room table tend to have plenty of anecdotal fuel for our passion to change the way we approach math education. Traditional curricula have focused on one particular strand of mathematics (or one domain within the Common Core) at a time. Standards are treated as a checklist to be addressed one at a time.

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.
