Maybe #activelearning is the concept that encapsulates all that?

Active Learning Workshop for Private School Educators Active learning isn’t just better for students. It makes learning visible in ways families can see and value. When students engage deeply, create authentic work, and reflect on their growth, the impact extends far beyond the classroom. Parents gain confidence. Schools stand out. Communities feel connected to what makes your institution unique. In this workshop, you’ll explore how making learning engaging, visible, and shareable strengthens: Student outcomes Parent confidence School differentiation Join fellow private school leaders to discover practical strategies that turn everyday learning into a powerful advantage for your entire school community. Agenda Keynote: Active Learning as a Competitive Advantage for Private Schools | 3:00–3:15 PM (15 min) Explore how making learning engaging, visible, and shareable strengthens: Student outcomes Parent confidence School differentiation Breakout Session 1 | 3:15–3:45 PM (30 min) Choose one: Project-Based Learning & Interactive Assessment Showcasing Student Experience Authentically Telling Student Stories That Connect Democratizing School Storytelling Supporting Active Learning Without Adding Complexity Breakout Session 2 | 3:45–4:15 PM (30 min) Choose one: Project-Based Learning & Interactive Assessment Showcasing Student Experience Authentically Telling Student Stories That Connect Democratizing School Storytelling Supporting Active Learning Without Adding Complexity Closing: Bringing It All Together | 4:15–4:30 PM (15 min) Recap insights, connect the dots across departments, and outline next steps for implementing active learning strategies that are sustainable, scalable, and visible to your entire school community.

Private school educators, it’s time to make learning visible. Join our Active Learning Workshop on April 2 and discover how to turn student projects into stories of growth and creativity.

Increasing Physical Activity in Educational Settings Using Mixed Reality Technology: Iterative Formative Study Background: As physical education classes are lost to budget cuts and recess is canceled to meet standardized testing goals, the modern school day has become dominated by sedentary digital activities. To reverse this trend, current interventions have focused on reducing screen time. However, instead of fighting this digital invasion, this study examined the use of technology, specifically mixed reality, to turn screen time from sedentary into active time, promoting physical activity in a classroom setting. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to iteratively develop and test a mixed reality prototype that promotes physical activity (eg, jumping, squatting, and punching) during a digital classroom activity. The primary outcomes were the percentage of active time during the activity, a breakdown of the intensity of that active time, and an evaluation of the prototype’s #usability. Methods: Between November 2023 and April 2025, a multidisciplinary research team developed a prototype and evaluated it during 2 rounds of pilot-testing. Participants were aged 10 to 15 years and attended local middle schools. Physical activity was assessed using a medical-grade, hip-worn accelerometer (ActiGraph wGT3X-BT). Acceptability was assessed using a validated questionnaire (the System #usability Scale) that has a maximum score of 100. To collect feedback for prototype improvements, semistructured interviews were conducted after each round of pilot-testing. Results: In the first round of pilot-testing, students (n=22) were active for 46.0% (6.9, SD 2.7 minutes) of the headset session, which lasted 15 (SD 0) minutes. After improving the prototype using feedback from the first round, students in the second round (n=10) were active for 5.8 (SD 3.1) minutes (62.4%) of the web-based assignment, which lasted 9.3 (SD 2.41) minutes, while still reporting “good” acceptability scores (mean 73.8, SD 17.2). There were no significant differences in acceptability ratings between the 2 pilot-testing rounds (=.16), nor were there differences between boys and girls in round 1 (=.79) or round 2 (=.61). Conclusions: The results of this iterative study indicate that mixed reality can be used to elicit physical activity in a classroom setting, at least for short assignments. However, further research is needed to determine longer-term use and effectiveness.

Game Components — University XP This article will provide a very broad and generalized overview of the different components that make up table top games. Disclaimer though: this list is not meant to be comprehensive or completely inclusive. Of course, there are opportunities to discuss and debate the use of these different components. As those are discussed the list and applications of game components will continue to expand.

The parents who know better than an educated teacher bug the daylights outta me. The knowledge retained bc a student knows it well enough to teach another is proven SCIENCE.

Teachers aren’t paid enough to deal with such parents.
