It’s been said, “ If a child can do advanced math, speak three languages, or receive top grades, but can’t manage their emotions, practice conflict resolution, or handle stress, none of that other stuff is really going to matter. ”. As an educator, I’ve witnessed the truth of this statement firsthand. Whether they’re pursuing a future career or simply playing on a school sports team, it’s imperative that students know how to work together with the people around them.

The pandemic leveled down an array of lessons that should pave the way for future success. One that sticks out to me as the most critical is how resilience got us through one of the most disruptive events we have ever experienced. Adversity, like never before, compelled us to not only change but also to persevere in the face of countless unknowns. While the path was fraught with obstacles, we learned to overcome them together through innovative means.

Cybersecurity is a high priority for K–12 administrators and IT leaders. It was the No. 1 technology pain point for survey respondents in the Consortium for School Networking’s “EdTech Trends and Funding: A CoSN Member Survey 2022.” The survey also found 83 percent of districts planned to expand cybersecurity initiatives. An increased need for cybersecurity has led to a call for additional funding for this educational priority.

Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read.

When students move around in a classroom, it opens up new levels of learning. Pairing that movement with technology amplifies the impact and improves student outcomes. As an educational technologist, I see how combining movement and technology is a powerful strategy for schools and districts looking for more ways to ditch “sit and get” models — where teachers lecture at the front of a room and hope seated students “get” something out of the lesson.

Are girls really underrepresented in STEM? Yes. In the US, the workforce is pretty evenly split between men and women, but in STEM fields men make up 73 percent of the workforce to women’s 27 percent. Why? It’s easy to want to find a well-meaning solution for this disparity, or even to brush it off as unimportant. But achieving a gender parity in STEM fields (particularly computer science, engineering, and programmers, among others) isn’t just a feel-good social justice crusade.
