Addressing students’ unfinished learning in the wake of the pandemic is a top priority for nearly every stakeholder in the education space. The purpose of The State of Student Learning in 2022 report is to provide a clear view into elementary and middle school students’ reading and mathematics achievement over the past several years with the
goal of improving outcomes for students and educators moving forward.

Depending on the identities we hold, the inherent powers and privileges we have, or the ingrained oppressions we endure, the conversations and work on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice will require of us an unquantifiable amount of courage. They require of us the courage to accept the unpalatable, painful, eye-opening, and honest perspectives about the oppressions in our systems.

After almost three years of a global pandemic, we now face a growing educational crisis: widening gaps in equal access to quality education, increased global learning poverty, surging mental health issues, and decreases in resiliency levels amongst youth around the world. These critical issues will play a key role in the future of our planet on a personal, local, national, and global level.

This program has been a partnership between the Lower School and the Learning Lab, focused on student achievement and using data to direct instructional interventions and extensions. Teachers voted for a student-friendly name for the block, and students and teachers alike have come to look forward to “Hornets Time” as a favorite part of their day. 

Jack Young, Principal of Country Day School, highlights that one of the most exciting things about being a principal is when you can see students having the opportunity to be passionate about what they are learning. The CDS Bee Lab Project has become a beacon of inspiration for learning and has developed far beyond our original vision. 

As I was putting the final touches on my doctoral dissertation back in July, I decided to put together a list of teachers/professors who had a lasting impact on my educational journey in order to thank them on the dedication page. As I started to compile the list, my memory went all the way back to elementary school.

One of the amazing things that is happening in my classroom is the implementation of an attentional control strategy called: HERVAT (for its Spanish acronym) Hydration, Balance, Breathing, Sight, Hearing and Touch. This neuroeducation program was created by the Spanish neuropsychologist Tomás Ortíz. 

High school students around the world dream of attending university in the United States. To help these students stand out on college applications and demonstrate success in the U.S. classroom, Hudson Global Scholars is proud to offer the University Pathways Certificate.

Why did you decide to become a teacher? After 24 years in this profession, this is a question I have received many times. I always explain that it was because of my love for learning new things, my strong belief that education is the best (only) way to
impact the future of our planet, and of course because it is incredibly fun to spend every day together with students full of energy and different ideas.

Sandra Patricia Gonzalez Lopez, Wade Campbell, Noor Al-Alusi, Alexander Bennett, Nidhi Santen, Xiao Xiao. This is a list of names that you likely don’t recognize. But, what about: Bill Nye, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Albert Einstein, Rick Sanchez, Isaac Newton, and Sheldon Cooper? Sound a little more familiar? Both of these lists are the names of scientists.The first list is the names of real, yet largely unknown, modern day scientists who are currently contributing to our growing understanding of the natural world.

Oddly enough, my favorite teacher is not from primary or secondary school but from university. His name is Antonio Augusto but he likes to be called by his nickname, Guto. Curiously, I've never attended one of his classes prior to becoming his supervisee.

During this first semester we implemented a data analysis model in a consistent manner in the pre-primary, first, second and third grades at San Roberto International School, This information was also used to manage and plan instruction through a cycle of information analysis, which was carried out systematically. The main objective of this project was to increase the percentile of students in the aforementioned academic grades in the phonological awareness area of the MAP test.

Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI2) is the practice of providing high quality instruction and intervention matched to a student’s needs. It involves frequent monitoring of student progress in order to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals.

Reflection takes us on a journey within ourselves to understand where it all begins. Life leads us to reflect upon what really matters to us, and for me, it is about being real, humble, and kind. Additionally, if I reflect upon who is one of the most influential educators in my life, and who was my first guide I definitely have to go back to my beginning. The first teacher who influenced my life, unquestionably, was my mother.

When leaders at the Colegio Jorge Washington (COJOWA) in Cartagena, Colombia were developing a new strategic plan four years ago, they found themselves asking “what’s next?”. After completing a previous strategic plan with a strong emphasis on values, the school community was ready to build on that foundation, and ideation sessions followed to figure out how to turn the values into action.
