Teaching is My Craft
When I got my first teaching placement, my husband's grandmother, who had taught for more than thirty years in her day, gave me two things: a long sit-down talk full of her best advice and a pair of pink, razor sharp Fiskars scissors.

For Kids With GIANT Dreams Who Dare to Act on Them
Kids have a special place in my heart. Sparkles in their eyes are real. Their thoughts are genuine. Their emotions are raw. Their ideas are ambitious.

Azadeh JamalianPublished 12 days ago in EducationWhat my Two Incomplete University Degrees Say About Me as a Person
I didn't go to university (uni) straight after I finished high school. I didn't even apply. I was one of those "gifted" kids loaded with "potential" who inevitably disappointed all of my teachers because, at 17, I didn't have a clear idea of what career I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life. Shock, right?
Jessie WaddellPublished 20 days ago in Education10 Tips to Sound and Write Like a Native Spanish Speaker
Let me begin by saying that I am not fluent in Spanish. I was almost fluent after majoring in Spanish in college and studying in Mexico, but unfortunately, my language skills have gotten pretty rusty over this past year of lockdown. With this realization, I’ve come up with a plan to tune up those speaking (and writing) skills over the next few months with hopes of a trip back to Mexico later this year. Although I’m focusing on Spanish, these same tips can be applied to just about any target language. Attaining fluency in another language takes time.

Whether you’ve just learned how to say, “hello” in a new language or have studied a language for years, below you’ll find 10 fun ways to improve your ear and develop a natural speaking and writing style in your target language.
Amelia KeiserPublished 21 days ago in EducationTeachers Are From Pluto, Parents From Mercury, and It's The Children Who Suffer
With the beginning of the school year, the "war" between parents and teachers begins anew. Both parents and teachers have the same ultimate goal: To provide the best education possible to students going to schools, which is a good thing, but there's a stark difference between the roles and responsibilities of each. Truly parents and teachers often seem to be from planets at different ends of the solar system when it comes to HOW to reach their shared goal.

Do Middle Schools Result In Higher Achievement Than Junior High Schools?
Question: Do middle schools result in higher achievement than junior high schools? This question addresses the academic outcomes of students in junior high schools that are organized in a manner similar to large comprehensive high schools with departmentalization, 40-50 minute periods, subject area teachers, and competitive sports, as compared to middle schools using various degrees of the five commonly endorsed practices considered essential to the middle level model of schooling: teaming, exploratory courses, co-curricular programs, adviser-advisee arrangements, and intramural activities. These delineations, however, are not consistent, as many junior highs contain middle school components and vice versa.

WHO ARE WE?
‘There’s no mystery to Black History‘ (that’s my little poetic saying). My parents came from Jamaica to the UK in the early sixties. Since then I have traced my ancestry back to the point when slavery was just abolished. (I have located over 400 family members spread across the globe).

Eppur si Muova
Dr. Robert Wilson was a very practical man. He was amongst the pioneers of nuclear and particle physics and developed smaller, cheaper, and yet more powerful particle accelerators and methods for detecting and observing objects that are smaller than light. At the time (1969) nuclear and particle physics was mostly theoretical and it promised no real applications (exactly as the study of electricity was thought to be useless for years after its discovery). As Wilson helped to pioneer the study of nuclear physics and lead in the battle to construct the tools necessary to understand the structure of not just atoms but of matter itself the United States was embroiled in a cold war of ideas about how to spend money and who should sell bread. Much, and by much we mean significantly more than half, of the US budget each year was being spent on building the biggest guns in order to show the then USSR that Communism would never work. Even though the most powerful of the weapons ever made, that at that time were being made by the hundreds (then thousands), were developed from the discoveries of nuclear physics the Congress of the US had reservations about the large investment the Department of Energy and Dr. Wilson wanted to make in a new facility to experimentally study particle physics (0.001% of the total budget that year, but paid out over almost ten years so really 0.0001%).
