What Are The Most Common Misconceptions About Bloom’s Taxonomy? by Grant Wiggins & The TeachThought Staff Admit it–you only read the list of the six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy , not the whole book that explains each level and the rationale behind the Taxonomy. Not to worry, you are not alone: this is true for most educators. But that efficiency comes with a price.

Everybody is trying to find ways to help students catch up after the pandemic. One new data analysis suggests some promising ideas. TNTP , a nonprofit based in New York that advocates for improving K-12 education, wanted to identify schools that are the most effective at helping kids recover academically and understand what those schools are doing differently.

Do your students ever think their rights just appeared without a fight for them? Or, do they not realize the amount of people and hard work it took to create the Constitution? Honestly, these are common trends among students! Until they learn something, they will not just know it! So, they will not realize how power became divided between the federal government and individual states.

A much anticipated and highly hoped-for recovery from pandemic learning loss is, disappointingly, not materializing. Instead, grim findings from a recent analysis by three testing companies noted that stagnation is a general trend — with a few isolated exceptions. Those few bright spots hold powerful lessons for schools that are struggling, particularly those serving high percentages of low-income students.

Recent archaeological fieldwork 1 in Morocco has uncovered a previously unknown Neolithic society, shedding new light on North Africa’s pivotal role in the development of Mediterranean prehistory. This discovery fills a significant gap in understanding the cultural and agricultural evolution of the region between 4000 and 1000 BC. The Maghreb, often overlooked during this dynamic era, is now recognized as a key player in intercontinental exchanges and societal transformations.

Back in the 1980s, isostatic rebound was very much part of my 'A' level teaching, with a bit of eustatic adjustment thrown in for good measure. The idea was that as glacial periods ended, the melting of thick ice sheets released pressure on the ground, to the extent that the ground started to rebound and rise up again. This story explores research into the possible impact of a river on the world's highest mountain.

Her love of the park’s sandstone cliffs and caverns became the bedrock of her passion for the environment, and for securing a future where her own children could enjoy the same experiences that she did.

EWING, N.J. — Bethany Blonder and her friends lined up at the voter information table in the student union before organizers had even finished setting it up in time for lunch. It’s true that a fire drill had chased them there from their dorm on the campus of The College of New Jersey, or TCNJ. But the women were also quick to rattle off what they see as the existential issues that make them hell-bent on casting their ballots in the general election.
