For urban educators and students—who often deal with deep-rooted inequities every day—the effort to promote equity and inclusion must continue.

Every year on December 22nd, India celebrates National Mathematics Day. This day has become an opportunity for schools across the country to spark curiosity, reduce fear, and make math an enjoyable subject for students.

Many have lamented the growing teacher shortages across our nation, and for good reason. It is estimated that there are currently more than 49,000 vacancies across the U.S.

With parents and teachers struggling to monitor how teens interact with social media, the pressure is increasing on governments to act. But is an age ban the best approach?

When many students graduate, they cross the stage with a diploma in hand and a question they’re not prepared to answer: What comes next?

Here’s how I restored an elementary school’s staff culture from a feud 20 years in the making (with help from a 1970s criminologist).

Play is widely acknowledged as essential to children’s learning; but does it have a role for the future teachers who are learning to guide those children as well?

The integration of practical, relevant life skills into the curriculum not only improves engagement, but also increases emotional well-being and real-world readiness.

What if the problem isn’t just how students respond to feedback, but how we deliver it? What if, instead of handing out scores, we gave students the opportunity—and the space—to reflect on their learning?

I'm an author of math books, which may sound like a dry job, but that’s exactly why I do it. It’s my goal to show kids that math can be fun (and funny!)

A strong connection to the outdoors leads to higher levels of social competence, emotional regulation, and behaviour management among kids. 

Under the umbrella of Digital Citizenship (DC) are some complex concepts. Netiquette, Internet safety, information usage and cyber bullying are just a few of the topics that teachers explore as they help students unpack what it means to use technology responsibly. Our school went wireless this past January.

As the school bell rings, thirty grade six students settle into their desks for a history class. After a brief overview of last night’s homework, the teacher lets them know they have 30 minutes to work on their group project. Instead of pulling out lined paper and textbooks, they bring out their personal iPads, Netbooks, Tablets, and Chromebooks. A few take out iPods or Galaxy phones.

When students look at the globe and see so much blue, it seems as though there’s an abundance of water. But that's just not true.

Earth science has long been the poor cousin of STEM programs. It takes a back seat to technology and gets short shrift alongside the physical sciences.

I wanted to design a new project that could be about classes working together, communicating, and listening to each other.

If you ask a kid to draw a scientist, most of them will come up with the same image: an elderly man wearing a lab coat and holding a microscope. It’s a stereotype we all know well.

Attend one of these field trips to get students practicing their coding skills.
