MILWAUKEE — On a muggy afternoon in late June, about 20 kindergarten through second-grade teachers sat in a classroom on the third floor of Milwaukee’s North Division High School. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly, but the heat didn’t seem to bother the teachers, who were absorbed in a math lesson. Danielle Robinson and Alicia Socha, two teachers in the district, led the lesson.

At the end of July, McDowell Technical Community College in Marion, North Carolina, hosted a party for something people don’t typically throw parties for: Applying for financial aid. The campus is often quiet after 5pm, but on this day, it was transformed into a loud and lively space for Latino families from the western part of the state. While they waited for their turn in an upstairs computer lab where bilingual education advocates could help them fill out their FAFSA, they ate from a hodgepod

I've just finalised the plans for a session for GCSE and 'A' Level teachers and students later this month as part of the programme of events offered by the GA Gloucester Branch. It's an upate of a session I created for the GA Oxford Branch last year.

You will find the result “illuminating.” Magnetism and electricity. They are the same thing. And together, they are a force of nature. Let’s see how. It’s all about photons.

How Certain Words Change How Children Feel by Terry Heick While I often talk about ‘scale’ as one of the primary challenges in education –and have also wondered about curriculum , too–a more subversive concept constantly at play throughout education is tone.

Traceability and Mass Policy Feedback Effects By Brian T. Hamel , University of North Texas Theory suggests that policy benefits delivered directly by government are most likely to affect the voting behavior of beneficiaries. Nearly every empirical study, however, analyzes a policy or program that meets this criterion. To address this limitation, I compare the electoral impacts of two New Deal-era employment programs—the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Public Works Administration (PW
