Talent development research has uncovered common conditions for nurturing talented individuals: enriched early environment, appropriate instruction, long-term and deliberate practice, singleness of purpose, and centers of excellence. Talent research also reveals that parents play a critical role in arranging and facilitating these conditions and…

Cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data are four very different technologies that are already discussed separately. The use of the four technologies is required to be more and more necessary in the present day in order to make them important components in today's world technology. In this paper, the authors…

The common problems faced by most students in learning mathematics include their inability to answer problem-solving questions and low mathematical self-efficacy. Search, Solve, Create and Share (SSCS) is a teaching model that provides opportunities for students to enhance their problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. This quasi-experimental…

The quest to improve teaching on a wide scale is an enduring challenge globally. Yet demonstrable improvement in teaching quality is both elusive and slow. In this essay, I explore some of the complexities that contribute to the slow pace of change, including: the slippage between teachers and teaching as the object of improvement; the poorly…

Number talks, a popular mathematics teaching routine in the United States, may offer supports for beginning teachers (BTs) to engage in ambitious instruction. BTs' enactments of number talks, however, are varied, and there are few empirical studies that explore how BTs' enactment of number talks could be more (or less) ambitious. This paper draws…

In this paper, we present the spontaneous and reasoned approaches by a Physicist (B.C.) and a Mathematician (T.B.). Section 1 is by B.C and section 2 is by T.B.

Background/Context: Neoliberalism has both feet firmly planted in educational contexts around the globe (United States, Australia, United Kingdom). Due to the precarious nature of unstructured play and its unwillingness to fit neatly into a neoliberal framework of quality and high returns on investments, play for play's sake has taken a backseat…

In this article the author examines and reflects about what anti-racism education can look like in a privileged suburban high school that includes mainly White students. She draws on the work of anti-racism and equity-focused authors to provide suggestions to teachers of all grade levels across multiple contexts.

The number of students taking online courses has been increasing steadily, and a recent survey revealed that 73% of college students would like to keep taking hybrid and online courses after the pandemic. However, completion rates in online courses have been traditionally low partly because of the transactional distance between instructors and…

Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. Real fluency involves reasoning and creativity, and it varies by the situation at hand. "Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning" offers educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with…

Virtual Instructor-Led Training combines the structure, accountability, and social learning benefits of classroom training with speed, agility, and significant cost savings. With VILTs, you can train more people in less time while realizing a much higher return on training investments than physical classroom training. It also has a significantly…

The college classroom is inevitably influenced by, and in turn influences, the world around it. In the United States, this means the complex topic of race can come into play in ways that are both explicit and implicit. "Teaching Race in Perilous Times" highlights and confronts the challenges of teaching race in the United States--from…

The prevalence of online education systems provides opportunities to deliver personalized learning at scale. Educational systems need to assess students so that they can provide better curricula tailored to each student's unique needs. Since there is a limited amount of time for quizzing a student, we need to test each student using those…

In "Text Sets in Action: Pathways through Content Area Literacy," Mary Ann Cappiello and Erika Thulin Dawes reveal how text sets can prompt serious thinking far more effectively than a textbook or any single text. As the authors explain, exploring many texts leads teachers and learners to 'think more deeply, empathize more fully, and…

At the heart of education are two fundamental questions: "What should we teach?" and How should we teach it? Educators striving to design and deliver the best-possible learning experiences can feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. To help them make these critical decisions, Angela Di Michele Lalor identifies five key priorities of a…
