"With big changes come bigger learnings. In the online learning space, our students (and honestly ourselves as educators!) contend with countless new challenges: distractions, shared spaces, lack of eye contact, missed social cues, passive observation and more.
Amid these challenges, how can we as educators and families ensure engagement, connection and quality learning within the students under our care?
We’re here to share what we’ve learned with you. In this month’s toolkit, you will:
Understand the imbalances in the mind-body that may happen during distance learning,
Identify when you and your students may be experiencing overstimulation of mental/cognitive domain and under-stimulation of physical, emotional and social domains, and
Learn 8 accessible yoga and mindfulness tools to feel connected and engaged during distance learning.

Small changes to test prep — and the day of the big test — can reap huge rewards. Learn about these brain-friendly strategies that work.
Cognitive science — the study of thought, learning and mental organization — tells us a lot about getting students primed to succeed on tests.
This resource outlines some practices that can help as you approach tests — and even on the day of the test: 1. Use retrieval to lock learning in long-term. 2. Mix up question types with interleaving. 3. Instead of cramming, space out practice. 4. Happiness is powerful. 5. Time of day matters. 6. Soak up the sun. 7. Breaks are essential. 8. Get up and move, move, move.
