New research in cognitive science suggests that math should be the most accessible subject for everyone's brain, and important as a predictor of overall academic success. Dr. Mighton will explain how teachers can use evidence-based methods of instruction to help all students realize their remarkable potential in math. Participants will learn about JUMP Math’s approach using rigorously scaffolded lessons to close gaps in prior knowledge while motivating whole classes to reach new levels of math achievement.

Your name could fly on Saturn’s largest moon.
NASA’s Dragonfly mission will launch in 2028 to explore the dunes, lakes, and rivers of Saturn’s moon, Titan, and your name can come along! Join the voyage and claim your boarding pass: go.nasa.gov/dragonfly-names

American icon coming through! 🦋
The monarch butterfly is one of the most iconic insects in North America. In late summer and early fall you might catch a glimpse of them as they rest and fuel up on their 3,000-mile migration to high elevation forests of central Mexico.

Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really helpful. They keep pests under control by eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions, clean up dead animals, and even help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew

"Building relationships" sounds like a good idea, but it's frustratingly vague. @Mr_Raichura offers helpfully specific advice:

The skies are getting crowded, and we couldn't be happier.
Fall migration brings thousands of birds along the Pacific Flyway. @BLMNational's Cosumnes River Preserve, provides vital habitat for sandhill cranes, ducks and geese to rest and refuel.

Fall has entered the chat. 🍂
Quaking aspens turn beautiful shades of yellow in the fall, shimmering as the sun dances across their leaves.

Most Americans will never see this place in person.
The Owyhee Wild & Scenic River in Oregon winds through one of the most remote landscapes in the lower 48. Deep volcanic canyons, sagebrush deserts, and miles of undeveloped public land make the journey well worth it.

A near-total ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipse will be visible across North & South America tonight

TONIGHT! Skywatchers across Africa, Europe and the Americas will see a deep lunar #eclipse overnight. The eclipse won’t quite be total. 96% of the #moon’s face will be within the Earth’s dark umbral shadow at the peak. ⚫️🌎

Before we judge, accuse, or take sides, we should hear both sides of the story. Truth is rarely found in one perspective alone. Listening first leads to better understanding, fairer decisions, and stronger communities. #ListenFirst

Massive humpback whale supergroups are becoming more common off the coast of South Africa, and one Cape Town photographer has been capturing these breathtaking gatherings up close.

A big challenge teachers are facing as the use of artificial intelligence expands is a lack of clear direction and guidance from school leaders and policymakers on how to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into teaching and learning.
A growing number of states are trying to address that gap by establishing guidelines or even policies around how AI should be used in schools.
But experts emphasize that guidance from state education agencies isn’t always enough, because those guidelines tend to be too broad, or they might be aimed at policy-level issues rather than practice-level ones.
