The success of a child in school is not entirely up to the teachers. Parents are also key here. Collaborating between schools and families makes students feel more supported. This bond helps in good studies of children and their emotional growth too. Parent involvement is nothing but the participation of parents in the educational journey of your children. Why Parent Engagement Matters “The best thing children can have is when parents and teachers work side by side together. Mutual, positive relationships between home and school engender trust and help children feel safe. Children are more excited about homework, school related…

But the reality is, endless hustle can result in stress, burnout and even health issues.…
There is more to education than memorising facts. It’s about teaching students to think, to problem solve and transfer knowledge beyond the classroom. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is one instructional approach that has received considerable attention. Whereas in traditional methods students listen and take notes passively, PBL brings students to work on tasks that apply what they’ve learned to real-life settings. But the burning question is – does PBL* actually work in schools? Let’s take a look at some real results. What is Project-Based Learning? Project-Based Learning is an approach to teaching students through active exploration of real-world problems and challenges.…
Our hormones have a big impact on our health. They influence mood, energy, weight – even sleep. When hormones are out of whack, people can experience issues like weight gain, fatigue or mood swings. The answer to these issues, many diets promise, is to “balance hormones.” But how much of this is true? Let us break it down. What Are Hormones? Hormones are the molecules in our body that send signals. They are produced by glands such as the thyroid, pancreas, ovaries and adrenal glands. They circulate in the blood and give orders to the body. Insulin, for instance, regulates…

Homework has long been a mainstay of American education for good reason: it expands learning beyond school hours, and it can even give families a way to connect – something we have all come to appreciate during this time. In recent years, teachers and parents have experimented with a new idea: gamification. This involves using game-like features to bring more fun and engagement to homework. When students find process fun they are more motivated, they complete the tasks with greater speed and they learn better. Just what are the tactics behind gamifying homework, and does it pay off?

Every child has a voice. But at many schools, students don’t often have an opportunity to use it. Student voice means allowing the child to express their views, opinions and feelings. It means listening to them, too. When schools develop spaces for student voice, then they prepare children to be confident leaders of the future. What is Student Voice? Student voice is more than just students speaking out. It’s the schools’ responsibility to organize for children to make decisions affecting their lives. This could be via student councils, class discussions, return forms or group work. “The more they listen to…
Grades are the last word – in most schools – on student success. High grades earn praise, low grades bring stress. But real learning is bigger than scores on a report card. It’s about acquiring skills, curiosity and confidence. That is where the concept of mastery and a growth mindset comes in. What Is Mastery Learning? Mastery learning is what happens when a student is taught to get something to the point of really knowing it instead of getting by. Rather than staying in the fast lane, students have time to practice, ask questions and correct errors. So, for instance,…
