As educators have seen, especially during this past school year, it has become increasingly important to focus on the mental health and wellness of our students. Finding balance and making time to focus on our own self-care is essential so that we can model this for our students. Being prepared means access to various resources, including methods and tools to help students build social emotional learning (SEL) skills.

What was I hoping to accomplish or achieve? What did I want my day-to-day life to look and feel like?

Courtesy of Santa Fe Public Schools Everywhere you look, it seems, people are talking about “learning loss,” or how much students haven’t learned during the tumult of the past two years. But for all the conversations in the news and on social media, one place we’re not seeing it as much is in schools themselves.

What does it mean for students to be fluent in math? Is it measured by speed? What about accuracy? Educators agree that basic math facts are crucial building blocks for developing a strong understanding of math.

NFT is a buzzword that's particularly difficult to explain—and it's perhaps even harder to imagine how it might play a role in education. NFT stands for non-fungible token. That means this technology lets you create a digital file that is one-of-a-kind—and that has coded into it the proof of its authenticity as an original. NFTs use the blockchain, the same technical framework that makes bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies possible.

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!
