“"You don’t have kids, do you?” a parent asked me during my early years of teaching. She was right: I had no children at the time. I was offended, however, by the implication that my lack of progeny inevitably meant that my advice must be useless.
But it was.
It wasn’t my lack of children that made my advice useless. It was the fact that I had derived a solution to the problem (her child never turning in homework) that would work well in my world—not hers.
I’m not saying teachers need to be parents to be good communicators. We need to be empathetic. If I had thought more about what it was like to work three jobs (which I did in college) and try to carve out meaningful time to spend with the people you care about, I would have given that single mom completely different advice.
Over the years, I feel like I’ve improved at communicating with parents as I’ve made bigger efforts to put myself in their shoes. Here are the main things I’ve learned."

One of the nation's best-known media literacy events for high school students is expanding as demand grows for skills to identify deepfake images and online conspiracy theories.
I think media literacy should be part of education now given how much the world is advancing technologically. I do not think it should be limited to just teenagers, I think it should be readily available to anyone who is interested.
Have you ever tried to fix an ongoing lack of energy by getting more sleep — only to do so and still feel exhausted?
If that’s you, here’s the secret: Sleep and rest are not the same thing, although many of us incorrectly confuse the two.
We go through life thinking we’ve rested because we have gotten enough sleep — but in reality we are missing out on the other types of rest we desperately need. The result is a culture of high-achieving, high-producing, chronically tired and chronically burned-out individuals. We’re suffering from a rest deficit because we don’t understand the true power of rest.
Rest should equal restoration in seven key areas of your life.

Laurie Santos wants to help teenagers, and the rest of the world, feel happier.
Santos, the psychology professor behind Yale University’s most popular course, recently launched a free six-week version of the class aimed at teenagers, called “The Science of Well-Being for Teens.” It was developed to address rising rates of anxiety, depression and suicide rates for kids between ninth and 12th grade, Santos says.
Lesson No. 1, she preaches in one of the course’s pre-recorded lectures: Our brains lie to us about what makes us happy.
A school culture and climate can be palpable to anyone as soon as they walk into the building. A positive or negative atmosphere can be seen and felt by all. It is how administrators, teachers, staff, and students work together. It is their shared values, beliefs, and behaviors. If you are fortunate enough to be a part of a school environment that is healthy and positive, never take it for granted. It is not by chance. A healthy school culture is created, and it usually begins with those at the top.
Unfortunately, many teachers and staff members enter into an unhealthy school culture. Some choose to leave a school, but a lot cannot relocate due to various reasons. How can you not only survive but thrive in an unhealthy school culture?
Trust matters. In a confusing world flooded with misinformation, principled journalism must step forward and earn the public trust.
Our Mission
To amplify journalism’s commitment to transparency, accuracy, inclusion and fairness so that the public can make informed news choices.
The Trust Project’s guiding principles stem from those developed in 1947 by the Hutchins Commission. During that era, just as in our time, the public held a deep suspicion of the press. The Hutchins Principles spell out the commitments a free and responsible press must live by.
Trust Project News Partners strive to provide:
* Truthful, verified news and information in a context that gives them meaning * Forums for civil exchanges and greater understanding of various viewpoints, with fairness in mind *Stories, information and ideas that reflect diverse types of communities and their interests and views
And we uphold the public’s interest, which includes holding the powerful accountable and shining a light in unexpected places.

Four waves in computing have directly touched consumers and reshaped the world: desktop, the web, smartphone, and now AI. At this inflection point, it's imperative to contextualize facts and objectively analyze the costs and benefits of AI. Poor understanding produces poor policy, which limits progress and harms society.
This is a very interesting read about AI misinformation - Well worth a few moments to read through to get a balanced view of the real and unreal threats from AI https://hotpot.ai/blog/ai-thoughts
The explosion of generative AI has created significant challenges and sparked new opportunities for our students. So, how do we decide when students should and should not use AI? In this article and podcast, I explore seven key areas you might consider as you craft the policies and design the systems within your school.
Great view! I read, watched, and listened to the article with pleasure. I like the cover photo! AI is developing surprisingly quickly and is included in children's lives.
Join us as we explore whether AI will replace the need for kids to develop their coding skills, or whether it will simply change what coding looks like in the future.
Rightfully, there is concern that students will plug in assignment prompts into AI Chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Bard in order to complete their assignments. As EdTech evolves, so do the tools that we use to facilitate teaching and learning. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a variety of benefits to the English Language Arts classroom, including improved personalization and support for learners. However, we need to ensure that these tools are used responsibly, maintaining academic integrity and the core purpose of English education. Here are some suggested elements to include in your acceptable use policy on your syllabus for your class.
“If you imagine less, less will be what you undoubtedly deserve,” Debbie Millman counseled in one of the best commencement speeches ever given, urging: “Do what you love, and don’t stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities…” Far from Pollyanna platitude, this advice actually reflects what modern psychology knows about how belief systems about our own abilities and potential fuel our behavior and predict our success. Much of that understanding stems from the work of Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, synthesized in her remarkably insightful Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (public library) — an inquiry into the power of our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, and how changing even the simplest of them can have profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives.
While most people, even teenagers, would probably admit that they know the majority of the pictures they look at on social media aren’t helping their self-confidence, the concrete evidence found in this study about cutting back social media usage to drastically improve self-esteem are incredibly encouraging. It gives us a tactical way to help teenagers actually get better.
Now, you may be reading this thinking something along the lines of, “Great, I’m glad there is a solution, but how do I actually cut my teen’s social media usage in half?” A study by Common Sense Media found that teenagers are spending a whopping eight hours a day on screens. Of course, some of this time is for school work, but if you have a teen, you know most of this time is spent on some form of social media. But, if we can help our teens just cut back somewhat on their screen time and social media usage, I have found in my years as a psychiatrist, my experience as a father, and now backed up by this new body image study, we can make a big difference in improving their mental health.
What do we say to kids when intensely traumatic events interrupt everyday life? Whether you're a teacher, parent or community builder, educator Kristen Nguyen provides three research-backed steps for navigating these difficult conversations, restoring a sense of safety and facilitating collective healing.
“Video killed the radio star” was MTV’s first music video when the network launched in 1981 sending deejays into panic mode. Yet, in 2023, MTV has reinvented itself multiple times, and radio still has its place even among streaming services. So when the ChatGPT launched, followed by the onslaught of “The Death of High School English” articles, I had no doubt teachers would adjust and move forward. My initial thoughts were less centered on “catching” students using it but rather on figuring out how to incorporate CHATGPT into teaching and learning.
