As we head into the spring, we may notice a decrease in student engagement. For some students, there have been midterm exams, extended school breaks, or we find ourselves in the middle of standardized testing season.

(e.g., they’re at the beach, they’re in an art room, they’re out in a field).

Burned out, tired, demoralized , at a breaking point. Spend time with educators these days—in K-12 or higher ed—and phrases such as these will come up often. It's not a new narrative, but the pandemic has heightened pressures on teachers and professors as it continues to radically reshape the education landscape. For those in classrooms and for school leaders, the challenge is how to meet the many needs of educators during this time—social, emotional, intellectual and ethical.

When students returned to the classroom after COVID-19 lockdowns, teachers found themselves in a triple role: instructor, mental health proctor and public health enforcer. There have been plenty of adjustments to the classroom due to continued health precautions, and that has meant differences in what school supplies are needed. It’s the little things, like crayons, says Christine Slayton, a bilingual first grade teacher at Frank Del Olmo Elementary School in Los Angeles.

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.

March is Women’s History Month , and throughout the month we take time to recognize and celebrate women who have made contributions to the world. The month-long celebration grew out of what started as a week-long celebration held and organized by a school district in California in 1978. Students at the school participated in a “real woman” essay contest.

When I was a kid, I remember people coming all over the province to visit my parent’s restaurant and have a sandwich they called “The Greek Club.” . Basically, it was a steak, cooked in some secret spices that only my mom and dad knew, in between two pieces of garlic bread. It was simple, but writing this makes me crave one more than I could have imagined.
