Teaching is often referred to as a “calling”—but for many educators, it feels more like an endurance test. For decades, the demands of the job have expanded in every direction: longer hours, larger class sizes, wider academic gaps to close, and growing pressure to serve as de facto counselors and caregivers. It’s a recipe that can leave even the most passionate educators feeling drained.  The kicker? The instincts teachers have about what will help bring relief are often wrong—just as they are for most people. This is through no fault of their own, explains cognitive scientist and Yale professor Laurie…

There’s been a rise of know-your-rights training sessions in response to the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. This has included local public officials and organizations sharing online information over the past few months about what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other federal agents knock on your door, among other scenarios that involve immigration law enforcement.Knowledge is power, the adage goes.

You know that sinking feeling when you realize you’ve been doing something wrong for years? I had it last month when I tracked my actual productive hours versus my “busy” hours. Turns out, my elaborate morning routine designed to maximize productivity was actually sabotaging my best mental energy. We’ve all been sold the dream of the perfect morning routine. Wake at 5 AM, meditate, journal, exercise, meal prep, and somehow still have energy left for actual work. But here’s what nobody talks about: Some of these supposedly productive habits are stealing the very hours when your brain is sharpest. After…

  What Is AI Assistive Technology in Education? “Assistive technology is any technology that we use for a student to help them access their curriculum,” says Lauren Murphy Arner, associate director, School Services, at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. AI-powered assistive technology describes tools that use AI to help students with disabilities or learning differences. “These tools help remove learning barriers — whether a student has a learning disability, is a multilingual learner, has a temporary or situational challenges, or needs additional support,” Quarnstrom says.

Being a multiple myeloma care partner involves significant logistical and emotional challenges. Panelists acknowledge the difficulty in balancing advocacy with respecting the patient’s autonomy, which can sometimes create tension. Key strategies for overcoming these challenges include open communication, often prefacing difficult conversations with statements of love and concern. Embracing a one-day-at-a-time mindset and allowing oneself grace are vital for mental resilience. For physical and emotional self-care, care partners recommend practical tools like a brief meditation, deep breathing, and consistent physical activity (walking, yoga, the gym) to manage stress and maintain personal well-being. A crucial lesson is permitting yourself to take…
