the Learning Counsel’s Post

More teachers should understand that loss of engagement in the present generation of students has serious neuroscience-driven experts hot on the trail of tech solutions that curiously elevate human discourse at the same time. LeiLani Cauthen interviews Senior Director of Product and Content for MIND Education, Ki Karou, who leads a team of learning and game designers, artists and mathematicians who develop ST Math’s interactive programs. They discuss the importance of talking about math and collective problem solving in classrooms, how this transforms the actual learning experience while engaging students. Listen in as LeiLani and Ki chat about how students chatting about what they notice and what they wonder about in math problems presented as puzzles prompts the learning engagement needed.

Prevent the Summer Slide with These Fun Tips! 📚 1. Explore STEM: No lab coat needed! Foster critical thinking by turning your kitchen into a chemistry lab or embarking on a nature scavenger hunt. From making oobleck to observing and questioning, let kids explore, investigate, and communicate their findings. 2. Read Together: Dive into books together! Spend 30 minutes a day reading and unleash imaginations. Whether it's a trip to the library or a reading challenge, encourage kids to create their own stories too. 3. Master Mathematics: Make math magical! Bake fractions, play cooperative games for computation, or get creative with tactile math art projects. Even the little ones can join in with pattern games. 4. Become Global Citizens: Embrace diversity! Explore different cultures through food, music, and festivals. Let kids taste, listen, and experience the world around them. By blending summer fun with learning, we keep kids engaged and ready to tackle the new school year! #PreventSummerSlide #SummerLearning #EngagedYouth 🌞📚 https://bit.ly/3JPpoon

Earlier this year, the STAAR results highlighted ongoing gaps in math, science, and reading proficiency across Texas schools. While educators work tirelessly to bridge these gaps, it's clear that more support is needed to help students regain momentum. Incorporating Brain Boost Elementary School Kits into afterschool programs or as a supplementary resource during the school day can provide the additional support students need. Our hands-on, evidence-based activities strengthen core academic skills in Science, Math, and Language Arts. By focusing on engaging, immersive learning experiences, Brain Boost helps prevent future gaps and boosts academic success
