Preparing for the first school transition
All educational transitions are important and leave a deep mark on young people's memories. However, while much effort is put into the transition from primary to secondary school and to higher education, little attention is paid to the first transition: kindergarten. Some environments, such as in Quebec, have understood that this first stage is pivotal and therefore work to prepare children for their entry into school life.
Monitor or trust?
A series of ways that educational institutions can prevent fraud at the end of these ever-increasing and more popular online courses.
Deconstructing gender bias in schools
School is meant to be a mirror of society. In spite of the fine words, gender inequalities and stereotypes continue to plague the school institution. However, nothing is irreparable. There is a plethora of resources, activities and attitudes that can help deconstruct gender stereotypes.
Preparing the educational future in incubators
Many institutions want more educational innovation in the classroom. However, imposing technologies on a teaching staff carries more risks than benefits. Educational incubators or labs are ideal in this sense to allow for discussion, analysis, and planning of what to do next.
Feeding students with local products
If our supermarkets offer products from all over the world, this has a consequent ecological cost. In an idea of reducing its footprint, consuming local is a good thing. This can be learned in school. More and more programs are encouraging educational institutions to adopt regional foods in the canteen. This goes hand in hand with an educational approach so that students understand the importance of this consumption on the planet.
