The precarious balance of student parents
Becoming a parent is a life choice that comes with many obstacles. First and foremost, there are the financial, space and scheduling issues. This becomes even more complex when you're studying or returning to school. And yet, some of us do it despite the lack of resources and support from our institutions.
Educating for environmental justice
The ecological issue is becoming increasingly important as the consequences of pollution and climate change are felt on a daily basis. How can schools integrate the principle of environmental justice into their students' learning?
Rethinking cities from a child's point of view
Anyone who has been to or lives in a large city should ask themselves: when was the last time you saw children playing together? Ideally, a city would make more room for parks with greenery, play areas, walking areas and so on. Fortunately, more and more cities are looking into the phenomenon and reviewing their urban planning.
These teachers who have embraced YouTube
YouTube remains the gold standard for videos posted on the Internet. Its ease of use allowed many people to get into multimedia, including teachers. Then the pandemic came along and the creation of vignettes began to meet a BIG demand for educational content that could be viewed on any medium.
Reduce students' performance anxiety
Our world is one of performance. We put the spotlight on those who break records, those who invent new technologies, those who dominate their professional environment, and so on. This obsession puts great pressure on students, who then develop performance anxiety. Changing the model in which mistakes are penalized when they are actually part of the learning process would be a huge step forward.
