I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature.

You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here.

Here are some new useful studies (and related resources):

“a 10 percentage point increase in racially congruent colleagues decreases turnover by about 18%…with Black teachers being less likely to transfer than White …transferring teachers select into schools with greater proportions of racially congruent colleagues” journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1…

I’m adding Goal Clarification and Process Feedback Matter: Reducing Test Anxiety in Low-Stakes Testing to THE BEST RESOURCES FOR HELPING STUDENTS WITH “TEST ANXIETY”

I’m adding Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation from a self-determination theory perspective: Definitions, theory, practices, and future directions to Best Posts On “Motivating” Students.

I’m adding Learning how to become an autonomy-supportive teacher begins with perspective taking: A randomized control trial and model test to the same list.

For the next several months, each week I’ll be republishing posts from the past that I think readers might still find useful.  This post first appeared in 2021.

I think many teachers are familiar with the Jigsaw instructional strategy.

Not everyone, though, might know the difference between applying it “cooperatively” and applying it “collaboratively.”

We wrote about the difference between the two concepts in our book Navigating The Common Core With English Language Learners.

Today, I gave a short presentation on how applying those two perspectives to the jigsaw, and thought that readers might find it interesting.

I’ve embedded a Google Slides version below, and you can download a PowerPoint here.

This is from Minnesota Public Radio:

Memorials abound on the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and in parts of the United States on Monday, Sept. 30. The federal holiday in Canada became official in 2021.

Even the Canadian Football League is honoring the children who passed away in boarding schools as a way to never forget the horrors done to Native peoples during colonialism.

Also known as Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a somber, vital time for relatives and friends who want to keep children in their hearts.
