How To Teach Kids About Mental Health

- by Mary Lebowitz

Mental health is an important topic, and it’s one that’s often left out of the conversation. But talking to your kids about mental health can help them develop good habits and understand themselves better. Here are some tips for getting started:

Three Kinds Of Personalized Learning

- by Mary Lebowitz

Personalized learning is a hot topic in education, but if you’re not familiar with the term, it can be hard to understand what it means. Personalized learning refers to methods of teaching and learning that are highly individualized and meet the needs of each student. What does this mean? It means instead of grouping students by age or grade level (or both), teachers can get more information about who their students are as learners so they can design instruction specific to those students’ needs.
