Dyscalculia is a severe and persistent learning disability in math that affects about 5 to 8 percent of school-age children.
Here, an educator, a researcher, and a student with dyscalculia share their advice and insights for teachers working with students with dyscalculia.
The Supreme Court last week sided with a former high school cheerleader after a profane Snapchat post got her suspended from the team. Here's what the court said and the case's impact on student speech rights.
For students to feel motivated, they must see the work they are doing in the classroom as interesting, valuable, and useful to their present lives. Teachers should consider having lesson plans and discussions about topics prevalent in students’ lives, having students set academic and non-academic goals, and challenging students to write about why what they are learning is relevant.
Coverage of whole-child approaches to learning is supported in part by a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Education Week retains sole editorial control over the content of this coverage.
It’s the final game of the season for the Unified Basketball team at Caesar Rodney H.S. in Camden, Del. Students with and without intellectual disabilities are on the same team and ready to win.

To Teachers Who Worry That My Brother Is in Their Class

As educators prepare for a new school year, state teachers of the year share helpful insights they’ve learned from their experiences with building and managing parent and family relationships.
Like many other districts, the Lake Oswego school district in Oregon kicked off the new school year by opening a brand new school.
But this one is special.
The 79,000-square-foot River Grove Elementary School south of Portland is one-of-a-kind, specially built to withstand the growing and increasingly unpredictable effects of climate change.
On a bright and sunny day in mid-June, a group of 16 school leaders arrived at the U.S. Capitol with a sole objective: to garner more funds and resources to support schools that have experienced a school shooting.
This group, the Principal Recovery Network, is uniquely poised to make these demands to legislators—each of them have experienced a school shooting, or the aftermath, on their campus. Several of the principals in this group have lost colleagues and students to such violent incidents.
The network wants a “substantial” increase in funding for Project SERV, a short-term grant provided to schools after they experience a traumatic incident. SERV, which stands for School Emergency Response to Violence, provides both money and crisis-response experts to schools after an incident of violence on campus.
Schools can use the SERV grant to hire additional counselors and mental health service providers, as well as increase the presence of law enforcement on campus in the immediate aftermath of a violent incident. The SERV grant, though, is time-limited.
“Expanding Project SERV is another ask we have for Capitol Hill,” Johnson said.
Beyond SERV, the school leaders want legislators to provide more funding under Title II and Title IX, which, they said, could help with more security measures on campus, as well as expand mental health services for students. In this video, members of the Principal Recovery Network discuss how these additional resources can help schools recover and heal after a violent incident.
The $660 million Local Food for Schools grant program was created in 2021 to give schools and child care facilities the opportunity to buy food from small farms and local producers.
For Pittsburgh public schools, the grant meant students enjoyed more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as 100% beef burgers, in their school meals.
As of March, though, the program was abruptly canceled amid the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts.

The abacus predates the alphabet and the invention of glass, but its use can help modern day students increase their math proficiency and understanding. Ulrich Boser, the author of Learn Better, studied how the abacus requires decomposition -- a way of thinking about numbers and their pairs -- that is included in the common-core standards. Using an abacus helps students foster a mind-body connection, utilize their short term memory, and grow their confidence, all which help kids learn better. In this video, Boser, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, challenges his daughters to solve math problems using a Japanese abacus. ____________________

A world history teacher at Ron Brown College Prep, Travis Bouldin, shares his perspective on what it means to be a culturally responsive educator in this unique public high school for young men of color. A veteran educator who has taught in several other urban districts, Bouldin explains some of the effects that poverty, violence, and trauma has on his students' ability to learn and to interact with peers and adults. Ron Brown--which has an intense focus on developing students' social-emotional skills and creating a culture where students feel safe physically and comfortable expressing themselves in the classroom--also emphasizes a college-preparatory curriculum. For the past year, Education Week's Kavitha Cardoza and NPR's Cory Turner visited Ron Brown weekly -- and some weeks, daily -- to witness the birth of this new school and to see how its staff tackles some of the toughest challenges in education. We spent hundreds of hours there, from the earliest days to the last bell.

This is a replay of EdWeek's webinar, "Joining Forces: Tapping Teacher Specialists to Serve All Students." Adams 50’s Steve Sandoval—a 2016 Education Week Leader to Learn From—created an “interventionist framework” out of frustration that his district's talented education specialists were isolated by separate certifications, regulations, and funding streams. Learn how the Adams 50 school district in Colorado brought together an array of education specialists—who typically work only with select students—to use their teaching strengths to benefit all students. ____________________

School safety unexpectedly became a huge issue this year when 17 people were killed in a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla. This led to tens of thousands of students walking out of school across the country with calls for gun-safety reform. Almost 350 school safety bills have been proposed, about 60 have been enacted into law. Kavitha Cardoza and Daarel Burnette take a look at why proposals for stricter gun controls and arming teachers have become wedge issues in this year’s election.
At the Bronx Parent Center in New York, professors are training parents to play a more active role in their children's schooling, teaching them strategies for helping their children build academic, behavioral, and social skills. ____________________
