National Research Council Aims to Improve Science Education

Anew publication from the National Research Council (NRC), Ready, Set, Science! is an educational tool that explains how the latest research on learning and teaching can be put into practice in K-8 science classes. The book provides teachers with summaries from the recent NRC report, "Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science in Grades K-8." The summaries include results from the learning sciences and provide case studies to make the implications of research clear, accessible and stimulating for science educators. The book aims to use these real classroom experiences as examples teachers can use to help improve the learning process within their own classrooms. Teachers are shown how to select and design engaging instructional tasks and conduct productive discussions as well.

Hashim Amla may lead South Africa one day

In the England v South Africa series we hope there will be no repeat of the Dean Jones commentary moment when he called Hashim Amla "the terrorist". Indeed, it will be poignant watching the South African tonk it around the park. As millions cowered under apartheid, a Muslim representing South Africa would have been fantastical. Now, some say this builder of handsome hundreds could eventually captain his country, despite covering the logo for Castle Lager on his shirt: truly, South Africa is the rainbow nation.
