‘Sorry' Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Demanding an immediate apology from a student who has stepped out of line isn’t always the best approach to resolving classroom conflicts and, in some cases, could in fact be detrimental to future relationships, finds Grainne Hallahan

Don't Panda To Anyone – You're The Bee's Knees

With schools in the grip of a funding crisis, teachers need to gain public support in their fight for survival, writes Sarah Cunnane. Would you rather be seen as a panda, helplessly drifting towards extinction? Or a bee – a busy communicator essential for the future of humankind?

A Matter Of Fact?

When it comes to helping students develop their understanding of a subject, a thorough grounding in substantive knowledge – the ‘who?’, ‘what?’, ‘when?’ ‘where?’ and ‘how?’ – is a must. But they must also be taught to ask ‘why’ they are learning certain information. If not, we leave children ignorant of the ways in which ‘truth’ is established or refuted and, ultimately, vulnerable to fake news, argues Clare Sealy.

Is Nap Club A Dream Come True?

When students are agitated, a 20-minute snooze can help them to reset and re-engage with learning, research suggests. So, some US schools have set up sleep pods. Grainne Hallahan finds out more.

From Down The Toilet To Flushed With Success

Oracy

Research shows that teaching children how to talk effectively can have a profound effect on learning outcomes, yet many schools aren’t giving oracy skills the attention they deserve

Don't Put The Blinkers On Animal Cruelty

Teachers often keep quiet if they become aware of a student hurting a pet for fear that reporting it will lead to the child being labelled a psychopath. But the reasons for this behaviour are far more varied and could actually signal that such children are themselves in danger.

Tes Focus On… High-stakes Testing

When teachers and schools are under intense pressure to get results, how can we know if a jump in attainment represents a real leap in learning? Daniel Koretz warns IrenaBarker that the more we tie assessments to accountability, the less reliable they become

Training Up Teenagers For The Online Battleground

Frauds and fakes have been around since the beginning of time. But, in a digital age, they are tougher to spot – and it is much easier for scams and hoaxes to proliferate. Being a teenager today is arguably harder than ever before because of this, says former school leader Tony Little, who argues that critical-thinking skills are the most important thing we can teach our young people as they navigate the information super-highway

The (Learning) Element Of Surpr!se

From sparks and whizzbangs in the chemistry lab to the class novel’s unexpected plot twist, confounding students’ expectations taps into the system by which we educate ourselves about life, by activating the brain reward system.

‘What's For You Won't Pass You By' – So Don't Dwell On A No

There was a joke for a while among my friends that I had some kind of magic interview power – every job I went for, I got. I don’t say it to be arrogant, I say it to draw attention to how to cope and move forward when that so-called magic dwindles and another candidate impresses more than you.

If you were to ask me what my most favorite outdoor play resource is, I would say sand. Every time.

Forget Your Troubles, Come On – Get Appy…
