The Learning Assistant Program at the University of Colorado Boulder trains undergraduates -- and by extension professors -- in better teaching techniques.
The Morpho Institute's insight:
Good stuff...and I get to work with professors who are already modeling this in their classrooms!
Although things have changed considerably for women in the world of science since the brave and bold Marie Curie began paving the way, there are still far too few women pursuing science careers, including my own field of forest canopy biology. Simply...
The Morpho Institute's insight:
From our friend, Dr. Meg Lowman. A great piece on raising girls to be scientists!
We spend the first year teaching children to walk and talk and the rest of their lives telling them to shut up and sit down. Transcript-- I'm often asked by ...

With a surge in research centered on nature play and nature-based learning , C&NN is part of a unique collaborative effort to develop a long-term interdisciplinary research agenda about nature and learning that can foster collaboration and help...
As education continues the march toward a student-driven, project-oriented approach that values intelligent solutions to open-ended problems, it won’t be sufficient to focus on the wonderful discoveries and authentic work that result from an inquiry-based system. Instead, a far more difficult issue will come to the fore: How will we know if inquiry-based learning is successful, and what non-standardized measures of achievement, like better attitude, apply?
A brief detour from chemistry, branching out into science in general today. This graphic looks at the different factors that can contribute towards 'bad' science - it was inspired by the research I...
The Morpho Institute's insight:
This should be posted on every science classroom wall!
"Of the 28 students' fundraising accomplishment, Ella said she felt, "Really, really, really, really, really awesome because you're saving millions of trees, animals and plants. You're so little and you think you can't do it, but you really can change something big."
The Morpho Institute's insight:
Knowledge is power and in this case a powerful group of 3rd graders used their new knowledge to make a difference for the world's rainforests! Love it!
