Math Fun With Games
Playing games is fun! As we know, learning can be more fun using games, especially in Math. Math games are a way to enrich students’ learning of math concepts, as well as to increase speed in computation. Math games can be used in all areas of math teaching. Motivation is when children freely choose to participate and enjoy playing a game that helps them with learning. Games motivate children! This creates a positive attitude which is essential to learning and mastering a subject. Games provide opportunities for students to reduce the fear of failure and error in a carefree and fun environment.

My Four Days of Joy Wrapped all ANEW!!!!
Tuesday morning I awakened at 6am. I began to take down my braided and twisted hair. I wanted my wavy puffy locs to be free for my first day of virtual teaching. As I began to take down my hair I noticed that the formation of my hair was not to my liking.

My experience giving tuition to a Karen citizen
As a very fortunate citizen of the country of Singapore, I count myself very lucky in many aspects. I do not have to worry about food, water, and shelter. Out of curiosity, I decided to sign up to volunteer to give online English tuition to Karen students who live along the Thai Burma border. The Karen people mostly live in refugee camps as they are stateless due to an insurgency crisis that happened in the past between Thailand and Myanmar. Apparently, their living conditions are really bad and with COVID-19, their access to education is even more limited. So when the organizer of the tutoring initiative (which is parked under Safe Water for Every Child Myanmar) showed me a presentation about the facts regarding the living conditions of the Karen people, I was of course, very shocked. I found it so hard to believe that there are so many children out there who are struggling so hard in their lives.

Importence of gaming in students life
The significance of gaming in students is a topic that has been debated since the beginning of time. The majority of people would agree that it is one of the things that can make people happy, and thus it will always be present in people's lives. But how do you determine what kind of gaming you should choose for your students?

How Teacher Affects The Student’s Life And Shape Their Future
A successful teacher’s transforming capacity is just something that almost every one of us has witnessed and recognized on an individual level. We had several exceptional teachers if we were especially lucky, who made reading an exciting and fascinating environment. Such teachers had a passion for the subjects they taught, and real love for the learners they interacted with. We encouraged us to experiment with ideas, begin thinking about the subject, take on more demanding work, and even develop skills in a specific field of study. A recent study demonstrates just how essential it is to cultivate these skills. Teachers who help students develop non-cognitive skills like self-regulation increase their grades and are much more likely to graduate from high school. Than teachers who help them boost their regular test scores.

It Really, Really is in the Syllabus!
Introduction The course syllabus. Often, it becomes almost a work of art for us professors. It is something that each of us have to craft each semester. And yes, I use that word “craft” deliberately, as the course syllabus is the guiding document for your teaching and student learning in the course.

The Case for Coaching for Independent School Leaders
As independent school leaders, we know that running a school is downright hard. Even prior to experiencing a global pandemic and the most significant social movement since the Civil Rights-era, senior administrators were faced with increasingly complex strategic and institutional challenges. I am making the case that to elevate education and transform our schools, coaching ought to be an obligatory tool utilized by independent school leaders.
