Supporting children by teaching the adults who shape their lives
Harvard Magazine
Share
   
The Brazelton Touchpoints Center, part of the Harvard University-affiliated Children's Hospital Boston, takes a holistic, relationship-focus approach to supporting child development. Instead of communicating directly with the parents of young children, the center empowers the people who work with parents, not only by arming them with information about child development, but by teaching them how to communicate that information in ways that prime parents for success.

Should computer science be required in K-12?
KQED
Share
Computer science is not widely taught, even though programming may be one of the most important skills of the 21st century. While most schools do recognize the importance of helping students learn how to use new technologies, you'll still find scant opportunities in K-12 classes for students to learn how to actually build those very technologies. A report issued by the Association of Computing Machinery found that very few states offer K-12 computer science education at all. Just nine states allow CS courses to count towards graduation requirements for math or science. And no states require computer science for graduation.

Rating your teacher team
Harvard Education Letter
Share
Schools are now playing catch-up in the world of teaming, but just putting teachers into teams doesn't always yield the hoped-for outcomes. While most teams are able to accomplish low-level tasks such as organizing field trips and planning bulletin board displays, they often fail to accomplish the higher-level goal of improving teaching and learning.

Every race has losers, and the Obama administration's Race to the Top education grant competition is proving to be no exception.

Virtual schools booming as states mull warnings
eSchool News
