There are a number of benefits to implementing a year-round school calendar, particularly through high school. For younger children, the importance of having a year-round calendar comes in their retention of knowledge. A three-month summer break is devastating for most children in terms of recall; teachers must spend most of the beginning of the next year reviewing the information that students were supposed to have learned previously. This wastes time, and puts students whose families did not review any academic concepts with them over the summer at a distinct disadvantage (Scholastic.com). The more this gap widens between children who have reviewed material and ...

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life.

Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

What is Small Group Teaching?

Small Group Teaching (SGT) is a widespread form of student-centred teaching which promotes a deep approach to learning including conceptual development and change (Marton and Saljo 1976).

For the purposes of this guide, small group teaching refers to any process or method of tutor-student interaction that involves a group of 2-20 students, however, as McCrorie notes, “group size is probably less important than what the group actually does” ( ...
