Sep 28, 2026 · original
Imagine asking students to locate the article you handed them yesterday. One student opens a binder, turns to a color-coded tab, and finds it in fifteen seconds. A classmate takes three minutes to find the right binder, with crumpled papers sticking out in every direction. Both students might be able to read and understand the handout equally well; however, their executive functioning, the skills involved in planning, organization, prioritizing, time management, self-regulation, and even just how to get started, can make a significant difference in their success. The transition to middle school places new demands on students’ executive functioning. Students often have to move from one classroom to another, navigate multiple teachers and digital platforms, manage a more complex schedule, and begin taking greater responsibility for their learning.

AI-Resistant Authentic Learning Experiences: Creating Meaningful Learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Sep 1, 2026 · original
The New Question Facing Educators Technology has long shaped education, from the use of pencil and paper to the digital tools of today.

The same questions that arose for calculator usage once more rear their heads for us.
