Technology has had an enormous impact on every industry over the last decade, including education.
Teachers are now quick to embrace technology’s benefits regarding practicality, reducing workload and improving learning.
In this guide, we will explore some of the ways that technology can help teachers in the classroom.
Is it possible to improve literacy levels with a knowledge-rich curriculum? For many years in the U.K., we have focussed on non-cognitive skills and steered away from general knowledge.
A recent American study into using knowledge-rich curriculums to improve literacy levels explores their effectiveness from kindergarten through to 6th grade.
The results strongly suggest that curriculum interventions can indeed reduce literacy gaps and improve outcomes in other subjects.
Let’s examine the idea of improving literacy levels with a knowledge-rich curriculum in more detail.
Computer Science is something that is heavily influenced by ever-changing technology. Keeping students engaged in this subject area is vital if they are to learn skills such as coding and programming to a sufficient standard.
In this article, we will explore some different ways to improve your computer science curriculum.

The connection between neuroscience and education is undeniable, yet there has been very little progress towards applying neuroscience directly in the classroom.
The main barrier to incorporating neuroscience is that there has been very little development in applying it to pedagogy and classroom support.
Many experts now think that neuroeducation should focus on helping teachers to learn more about brain development and functions.
Your ability to manage challenging behaviour in the classroom is one of the keys to success.
It’s important to remember that those pupils who present the most challenge are usually the ones who are crying out for support.
Here are some ideas that will help teachers looking for guidance when faced with challenging behaviour.
