Deliberate Practice refers to a special type of practice that is purposeful and systematic. While regular practice might include mindless repetitions, deliberate practice requires focused attention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving performance.

Christian Kock’s essays show the essential interconnectedness of practical reasoning, rhetoric and deliberative democracy. They constitute a unique contribution to argumentation theory that draws on – and criticizes – the work of philosophers, rhetoricians, political scientists and other argumentation theorists. It puts rhetoric in the service of modern democracies by drawing attention to the obligations of politicians to articulate arguments and objections that citizens can weigh against each other in their deliberations about possible courses of action.

Students thoroughly explore identifying synonyms and adjectives before using them to add variety and interest to their own writing.

Students will play a variety of games and activities to understand Cardinal directions.

In this Google Applied Digital Skills lesson, students will learn how to use Google tools to create and deliver a presentation to an audience

The primary purpose of this task is to illustrate certain aspects of the mathematics described in the A.SSE.1. The task has students look for structure in algebraic expressions related to a context, and asks them to relate that structure to the context. In particular, it is worth emphasizing that the task requires no algebraic manipulation from the students.

There are many forms of government in the world. One of the most common forms is democracy. In this lesson you will see what it takes to make a democracy work and why it gives its people so many freedoms and protections.

The Issue-Based Discussions Pathway offers students opportunities to explore and discuss relevant and contemporary issues in their community. Students engage in small-group discussions and further hone critical thinking and communication skills. This equips students not only with civic knowledge but also with the tools to actively participate and foster positive change. The pathway culminates in the Civic Action Project, which allows students to apply their learning and impact a public issue that matters to them. Access to these resources require a free educator login.

The U.S. Constitution Pathway delves into the Constitution's past and its lasting principles, highlighting their relevance to modern-day issues and events.

Why do objects like wood float in water? Does it depend on size? Create a custom object to explore the effects of mass and volume on density. Can you discover the relationship? Use the scale to measure the mass of an object, then hold the object under water to measure its volume. Can you identify all the mystery objects?
