Teachers, you're the glue holding school communities together—Miss B's ingenious strategy is just one of many examples of why.
“Giving my classroom glue sticks human names has been revolutionary. Does a student care if a glue stick goes missing? No! Do they care if DEREK the glue stick has not been returned? ABSOLUTELY. It’s like a manhunt until Derek has been returned to his rightful spot.” —Miss B, English Teacher

3 Tips for Science Communication (and Life in General) 1. Curiosity is a superpower. 2. Failure is a part of success. 3. It's not what you know, but what you're willing to learn.

I really need to know how people were winning Perfect Attendance awards in elementary school. Were they TRULY never sick? Were they Unbreakable? Or were they just coming in to school miserable?

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today. First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

I got to present to some TK, 1st, & 5th grade classes at my mom’s school for career day. We talked lizards and how I made a career of studying them. It was a really amazing opportunity and some of the students even sent me thank you art/letters which’ll live in my cubicle🦎💜

My company just listed on LinkedIn a job posting for what I’m currently doing (so we’re hiring another UX writer) and now thanks to salary transparency laws, I see that they intend to pay this person $32k-$90k more than they currently pay me, so I applied.

So maybe I was a little premature labeling the flurry situation a bust at the lower elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Here’s what it looked like at 323 feet of elevation at 8:50 a.m. @NWSBayArea @DrewTumaABC7 @SPaulsonKTVU @danncianca @LookoutSCruz @scsentinel @theSCLocal – at Ben Lomond, CA

Just got a note from a reader whose father had four of his six grandchildren on lockdown in four different schools across Colorado this morning. While nobody was physically injured, what happened today cannot be forgotten.

I was in a shelter in place on Monday when someone fired shots in his hotel room at the Millennium Harvest House, about 450 ft from where I was. Now this. Whether a hoax or not, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough—they never were. #boulder cbsnews.com/amp/colorado/new…

Are Dress Codes for Educators Simply Out of Fashion?

Are Dress Codes for Educators Simply Out of Fashion?

As the business and tech worlds move away from enforcing strict dress codes, it’s time to reevaluate what’s expected of educators.

In a Maryland school district, high school students are now required to complete a course in financial literacy. They're greatly benefiting from it—and so are their families.

Teaching Students How to Be Smart With Their Money

When schools teach financial literacy, they help students develop lifelong money management skills—and families benefit too.
