Feedback is how students feel seen and supported. It is also how we communicate to our students that we value the process over the product. When we give feedback as students work, we signal that the work they are doing is important, and we care about their progress. Teachers want to give students timely, focused, and actionable feedback, yet it is easy to neglect.

This role comes with many satisfactions, but also the pressure to hold yourself to a higher standard. The responsibilities of teachers only increased during the pandemic as remote class management came with its own hurdles.

As teachers, we are trained to encourage higher-level thinking skills, including meta-cognition, in our students. We teachers should also engage in that same exercise to strengthen our teaching practice. Micro-credentials helped me enrich and deepen my teaching by providing the opportunity to reflect on how I teach. I have taught math at a public high school in Connecticut for the past six years, and began teaching UTeach Computer Science Principles (CSP) the first year it was offered.

How Schools Can Respond To The Age Of Information. by Terry Heick. We really all should have seen this coming. The information used to be here, and there, and over there. Now it’s moving, from a singular there, to a plural everywhere –very much a new age of information and information access. The response to this access has been slow–and even when swift, it has rarely been compelling or long-lasting.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. 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.

As teachers we are often nervous about discussing current events with elementary school students. As a white teacher, I am especially nervous about discussing racial tension because I am afraid of making microaggressions or accidentally reinforcing stereotypes. I have learned, though, that to not talk about race and current events is negligent to our students, their families and our society.

Just some stuff I am thinking about as I write out my ideas… As much as I love learning and growing in education, I have tried to step back a bit in writing, blogging, podcasting, reading, conversations on education, etc. . I still love education, but I also want to explore some other things outside of my work. It is not that I don’t enjoy it as much, but just sometimes I don’t know what to say.
