Problem-Solvers Wanted

In classrooms across Michigan, New York City, and Pennsylvania, something's changing. Students are sticking with hard problems longer. They're asking better questions, testing new ideas, and communicating their thinking. They're invested in learning, not just chasing points or checking boxes. The shift? Teachers are using the language of computational thinking to make problem-solving visible, tangible, and doable for every student. It's building teacher confidence and sparking innovation, leading to more student-driven learning. It's bringing joy and agency back into the classroom.

Coffee with a Little Bit of Cream: Bringing Students Back from the Brink

Since the COVID pandemic, students have rapidly lost faith in public schools and increasingly feel disconnected from schools and classrooms. The award-winning "Coffee With a Little Bit of Cream" podcast talks with two former Washington State Teachers of the Year about why this is happening to students, how it's not an especially new phenomenon, and how a renewed investment in relevant and engaging learning experiences, relationship and community, and belonging in classroom spaces will help students find lives of meaning and purpose and, in the process, renew their faith in public schools.

SERP Stories: When Teens Can't, Won't, & Don't Read: What We Can Do

Kids don't learn basketball by doing worksheets about basketball... yet many reading programs rely on isolated rote skills practice. What if we built interventions that made students WANT to read again? Join a live recording of the SERP Stories podcast (launched July 2025). We will illuminate a missing strand in the Science of Reading: engagement. Hear from researchers and educators who center motivation, identity, and agency alongside rigor, and walk away with ideas to re-engage adolescent readers with wonder and purpose.
