How to Teach Effectively Using the Technique of Individualized Instruction
Introduction Many times, teachers face great challenges impacting knowledge not because they are not knowledgeable about the subject matter or effective teaching methods.

Reason First: Forget About Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, Free Up the Schools
With the scandal of the fake college admissions story regarding ringleader William Rick Singer, it is ironic that college dropouts become insta-billionaires in Silicon Valley. Did the parents of the children involved in this whole blow up expect them to develop a killer app and ditch a fancy school all in the process? By eliminating city, state, and federal controls over the minds of those yearning to learn, these kind of scams would never appear.

Death of the Business Suit
After ten years of being a stay-at-home mom, looking for a job became necessary. Resume submissions over the past eight months have yielded few results. Eventually, I was called for an interview at a social media company. Years of working in a corporate institution has engrained in me the need to look like a polished professional. My wardrobe as a stay-at-home mom has left much to be desired. I assure you... I own more than one pair of the ubiquitous "black legging." Sort of the "mom uniform," leggings and yoga pants have become a stay-at-home mom's best friend. Need to run to the grocery store? Black leggings and sneakers! Need to meet a friend for lunch? Black leggings and ballet flats! Need to shovel the snow off the front walkway? Black leggings and snow boots! Meeting friends for a drink on a Friday evening? Black leggings, knee high boots and some lipstick!

5 Transferable Skills You Learn at Your Part-Time Job
I had a part-time job since the first semester of university. I worked in retail, as a sales assistant in a grocery store on campus, and later as a waitress and bartender at a busy restaurant. I even had a few shifts working in an office filing paperwork and organizing mail. Oftentimes, when getting ready for an early shift or dealing with a meaner-than-usual customer, I questioned my motivation to work while studying. I felt like I was missing out on extracurricular activities, volunteering or other opportunities for self-development that would enhance my career prospects, not to mention the parties, socials, and precious study and leisure time I was missing. If you are in similar shoes, let me reassure you. While those 12-hour shifts seem pointless now, there are plenty of skills you master at your part time job which will come in handy on the hunt for a graduate job! Here are some of them.

Podcasting Amplifies the Voices of a Unique Group of Students at Bed-Stuy Brooklyn School
Knowing the Neighborhood I’m an educator at Abraham Stockton School, PS 297, in Brooklyn teaching fifth grade kids aged 10 or 11 about wellness—everything from physical to emotional and social wellness. I grew up in the very same neighborhood that the school is in. We are a very diverse group with a lot of the neighborhood below the poverty line. When I went there in the 90s, it was the height of the crack era, which was a very tough time for our neighborhood, as well as the rest of America. To put it plainly, no one was coming to our neighborhood to help us amplify our voices or to be a representation of our community.
