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.

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. ____________________

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.
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. Unified Sports is a program developed by Special Olympics to help reduce bullying and exclusion and promote healthy activities and social interactions. Unified teams exist in over 5,500 schools nationwide, and in states like Delaware, allow students with disabilities to compete at the varsity level.

Schools have sometimes trimmed recess to make more time for instruction, or withheld the daily break as punishment for misbehavior. Yet research shows this time can be used to reinforce a positive school culture. Playworks is a national nonprofit that promotes organized, intentional recess. A study of the model shows that children learn and practice conflict resolution, compromise, and self-regulation, as well as leadership and physical activity. Essential components of this model include treating recess with the same intentionality as academic lesson plans, having dedicated staff to organize and model games, establish common rules, use simple tools to resolve disagreements such as rock-paper-scissors, and foster positive language. ____________________

While the student population in America's public schools becomes increasingly diverse, the nation's teaching force remains predominantly white. The divide is especially prevalent in urban districts like Chicago, where nearly 90 percent of public school students are black or Hispanic and fewer than half the teachers are. Research suggests that these differences can impact student performance as personal biases and cultural misunderstandings get in the way of learning.
The Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline at Illinois State University takes a step beyond conventional cultural competency training by immersing their teacher candidates in Chicago's highest-need communities - part of a month-long intensive fellowship called STEP-UP.
Education Week Correspondent Lisa Stark followed some of these aspiring teachers through the program. Can STEP-UP truly bridge the cultural divide?
This video aired on PBS NewsHour on August 30, 2016.

President Donald Trump wasted little time in making his mark on the nation’s K-12 schools after taking the oath of office for his second term on Jan. 20. The 100 days since then have been unlike the start of any other presidential administration, due to the quantity and velocity of education-related policy shifts.

Dandelion Hunt-Smith, a transgender and nonbinary senior at John O’Connell High School in San Francisco, Calif., moved from Georgia last year in search of a more welcoming school environment.
Dandelion says they see great value in school environments that treat all students as human, and where students can feel safe and supported in exploring their gender identity.
As a growing number of legislation targeting LGBTQ students is introduced across the country, families like Dandelion’s are calling on schools to better support future generations.
Steve Robinson has run a research lab, taught middle and high school, and served as a White House K-12 policy adviser for former President Barack Obama. That circuitous career path has given him a unique perspective on some of the toughest issues in STEM education, including how to find, train, and keep good teachers in those fields.
The Principal Recovery Network is a club that no school leader wants to join. Yet when its members meet, they greet and joke with each other like family.
“If people saw us together, and if they knew why we gather, they’d think there’s something wrong with us,” quipped Andy McGill, the assistant principal at the rural West Liberty-Salem High School in West Liberty, Ohio.
In 2019, McGill came together with 21 other educators to form the PRN, a support and advocacy group for current and former school leaders who’ve survived and led their schools through the aftermath of a violent incident like a shooting.
Here, some of those school leaders discuss their experiences and their work as part of the PRN.
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.
