There was a moment in the mid-2010s when Montessori was inescapable. The century-old education philosophy, which prioritizes independence from a young age, had turned into a lifestyle brand. Blocks and other wooden activity sets were remarketed as “Montessori toys.” Parents flocked toward outdoor learning, which often involved livestock on a farm, sometimes dubbed “Montessori farms.

What are parents and teachers most worried about over the summer? That kids will lose their sharp education edge, dulled by sun and sand and something else. Worry no more. Your cure: learning disguised as play. Kids will think they’re playing games, but are actually participating in [mostly] free simulations available in the education field. A note: some must be downloaded and a few purchased, so the link might take you to a website that provides access rather than play.

The initial enthusiasm for learning a foreign language may wane as other courses with demanding assignments compete for their attention. Some students prioritize subjects they perceive as more directly tied to their major or career, while others simply feel the weight of mid-semester exhaustion.

Students light up when they create something meaningful, and every educator has seen that spark. Self-expression fuels learning, and creativity lies at the heart of the human experience. As AI rapidly reshapes software development, computer science (CS) education must move beyond syntax drills and algorithmic repetition. Coding alone isn’t enough; students must also learn to think systemically, design creatively and build with intention.

Teaching place value to kids in math class can be fun – if you have some hands-on learning activities and visuals, like charts. You can utilize game boards or worksheets. The key really is for students to understand the core of what place value is, which is abstract and much harder to get across when they just “don’t get it.” I’ve always enjoyed teaching math.

"I like you just the way you are." If you read that and immediately thought of Mister Rogers, you're probably a child of the 70's. It's a simple, radical message, especially when it comes to adult relationships with young children. And it's more radical now than it was back then. It's radical to like anyone just the way they are, but to like our children just the way they is almost unheard of.
