 How can students use AI in the classroom effectively, responsibly, and ethically? We’ve found ourselves as teachers and parents, again, at a technological crossroads. AI is here, and it’s coming on strong.
You can ask yourself, as we always do when new tech starts making waves, whether you’re going to be that school, teacher, or parent who embraces the application of AI in education or tries to fight it. I encourage you, especially as innovative high school educators, to do the latter. Let’s talk about why.  Teaching content alone is no longer enough. This post explores why educators must intentionally teach critical thinking in the era of AI and vast information, and offers practical, experiential strategies to help students question, evaluate, and think critically for themselves.
Need some fun, festive, and experiential holiday activities for teens this season? Yes, this time of year can be a little hectic, but it is also one of my favorite times of year in my high school classroom at home with my own kids.
 How nice does it sound to forget rigid curriculum maps and endless busywork? Project-based learning (PBL) offers homeschool families a powerful, flexible, and deeply meaningful way to approach education, and you don’t have to be a certified teacher or expert planner to make it work.
A project-based learning portfolio is one of the most powerful tools for capturing the full story of student growth. It’s more than a binder or digital folder; it’s a living collection of a student’s ideas, drafts, reflections, feedback, revisions, photos, and final products. Enter to learn more!
 Personalizing learning doesn’t have to mean creating 30 different lesson plans for 30 different students. The key is building a framework where students take the lead in shaping their own experiences. That’s where student-led project-based learning (PBL) comes in. It's a powerful, flexible way to meet each learner where they are while giving them ownership, purpose, and voice.
I incorporate community action projects into every part of my high school teaching. A community action project is a type of project-based learning in which students identify an issue in their community, research it, brainstorm solutions, create an action plan, and then put that plan into motion. These projects are a powerful form of self-directed, real-world service learning.
 Do you ever feel that no matter what you do or how hard you try, you just can't seem to reach all of your students? Project-based learning is a great way to not only reach your students but also engage them in personalized, meaningful work. How, you might ask? Let's take a look.
 Gradeless schools and classrooms seem to be a hot topic of conversation in my life right now, so I wanted to address the idea of “going gradeless” here on my blog.
Let’s talk about what it means to have a gradeless school or classroom, the benefits of taking that route, and what to do to measure or demonstrate learning instead. |
