Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

The world language and cultures content specialists in the Office of Learning and Instructional Strategies are scheduling virtual meet-ups in collaboration with various professional organizations across the state to support educators and administrators during extended remote learning. The purpose of the forum is to encourage educators and to give them a platform to network, share, and gain new skills or strategies to help students succeed while learning from home. This aligns with the vision of Ohio Strategic Plan for Education, Each Child, Our Future which focuses on the whole child by empowering teachers to help their students to become resilient lifelong learners who contribute to society. These meet-ups help to facilitate discussions about equitable learning opportunities and practices for each child while partnering with educators and professional organizations to promote quality schools and student success.

The Department will host and publicize the meet-ups in conjunction with guest facilitators who are sponsored by a professional organization. The virtual meet-ups will be scheduled across grade levels and languages as appropriate.

100+ Hands-On Activities for Middle and High School

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hands-on learning is the best kind of learning. Sadly, as kids get older, the ideas for hands-on projects seem to dwindle. That's why I compiled this list of 100 hands-on activities for middle school and high school students.

I do want to include one caveat - not all of these activities are specifically geared toward older students. But often activities for younger kids are beneficial to older students. And, most are easily adapted. You could turn all of the planning and execution of the project over to the student (as opposed to a parent helping). You can also require more detail.

The most memorable school experiences are frequently not in lessons, but associated with an eye-opening field trip or a special guest speaker. Connecting what students are learning to the real world not only enables them to better understand and recall concepts but also excites and inspires them to continue learning.

With exciting live engagement opportunities and resources, CS Journeys helps students from elementary through high school make the connection between what they're learning in your classroom and the range of academic and career pathways available to them with a strong foundation in computer science.

Code.org has created easy-to-use resources designed to help you to excite, encourage, and empower your students to continue their CS journeys in and beyond your class:

Excite and inspire students to learn CS and explore pathways with videos, field trips, events, projects, and other activities that showcase the possibilities with CS

Encourage students to keep learning - connect them to role models and mentors, and get parents invested in their children's CS journeys

Empower students to take control of their CS journeys with resources enabling them to explore, look forward and plan

Get your students excited and inspired to learn CS with these great options

Use the options below to introduce CS Journeys to your students and inspire them to keep learning and exploring!

Get parents/guardians engaged and hear from role models to encourage students to keep learning

Parent/guardian engagement is critical to student success - make space to touch base with them throughout the school year using customizable email templates and other resources designed to educate them about what computer science is and the opportunities it can offer their children.

Role models and mentors can demonstrate real-life successful CS journeys and help connect students to opportunities and resources. Share Code.org resources below to make students aware of mentorship opportunities. You will soon also be able to schedule live chats with CS role models.

Empower older students to take control of their CS journeys by exploring next steps

Empower students to take control of their CS journeys by exploring the academic and career pathways available to them with CS and giving them a deeper understanding of how to get there. Point students to resources like internship and scholarship opportunities, and encourage them to apply what they've learned outside the classroom, in extracurricular opportunities like hackathons and summer programs.
