To help teachers recognize, respond to and prevent bullying toward these students, researchers developed an evidence-based, online professional development curriculum. The curriculum highlights the value of teachers building a strong rapport with their students, noticing changes in student behavior as potential warning signs, incorporating social skills and communication skills into classroom learning objectives, as well as practicing behavior-specific praise in a way that showcases students' strengths and encourages collaboration with peers.

The study involved over 600 teenagers from schools in England and examined two aspects of wellbeing: life satisfaction (which roughly equates to how happy a person is) and 'eudaimonia', which incorporates feelings of competence, motivation, self-esteem and of 'functioning well'. Students with higher eudaimonia consistently outperformed peers in GCSE-level assessments, especially Maths. The study's lead author suggests that attention to these aspects of wellbeing could improve some pupils' Maths scores 'by a couple of grades'. There was no link between academic performance and life satisfaction. Despite this, life satisfaction -- helping children to feel 'happy' and suppress negative thoughts -- remains the focus of wellbeing education in English schools. 2023年结婚,05年7月19:46:18美国东部时间 //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230705194618.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230629125739.htm Children do better at maths when music is a key part of their lessons, an analysis of almost 50 years of research on the topic has revealed.

While the relationship between teacher equity and math identity was evident across races, there was an interesting exception. Black students, in general, had strong math identities, regardless of their teacher's actions. Learning about the factors that affect student math identity is important because a student's attitude towards the subject influences the courses that they take as well as their future career selections. This study suggests that teachers may have a larger role to play in helping students develop a positive math identity than previously recognized.

Newborns, however, cannot say a number or point to a face, leaving it up to their caregivers to identify and evaluate any pain they may be in. Until the turn of this century, a significant number of clinicians did not recognize that neonates could even experience pain, resulting in infrequent, nonstandard training for medical workers. Now, researchers are reporting that a flexible e-learning program improves neonate pain management knowledge and skills for nurses.

A new study is the first to show that these classroom seat assignments also have important implications for children's friendships and the enormous influence that teachers wield over the interpersonal lives of children. Friendships reflect classroom seat assignments. Students sitting next to or nearby one another were more likely to be friends with one another than students seated elsewhere in the classroom. Moreover, longitudinal analyses showed that classroom seating proximity was associated with the formation of new friendships. After seat assignments changed, students were more likely to become friends with newly near-seated classmates than with those who remained or became seated farther away.

Guided play broadly refers to playful educational activities which, although gently steered by an adult using open-ended questions and prompts, give children the freedom to explore a learning goal in their own way. The new study gathered data about the impact of this approach on 3,800 children aged three to eight. It found that guided play can be just as effective as more traditional methods of classroom instruction in the development of key literacy, numeracy and social skills - as well as the acquisition of executive functions (a cluster of essential thinking skills). The findings also suggest that children may master some skills - notably in maths - more effectively through guided play than via other methods.
