Photographer’s new book highlights hundreds of kids who want to make the world a better place | CNN Original
For the last decade in my job as a photographer, I have traveled the country to take pictures of young people and listen to their stories. I am confident when I tell you the most important thing I’ve learned: They are going to be fine. Yes, the kids stare at their phones. A lot. And yes, they watch mind-numbingly inane videos, and yes, they share way too much on social media.

These Powerful Photos Prove That Boys Can Be Loving, Sweet, AND Strong
. I am a mom of two girls. Two strong, independent, loud, amazing girls. We are proud feminists. Show me a t-shirt or hat that screams empowerment and self-acceptance or highlights the fearlessness of young women, and I’m buying at least two for my daughters. Probably three. I want one, too. I’m a professional photographer, and in my collection, Strong Is the New Pretty, my images capture girls being themselves. Dirty. Silly. Fearless.
For International Women's Day, strong, proud and passionate athletic girls tell us why their shoes help define who they are.
For International Women's Day, strong, proud and passionate athletic girls tell us why their shoes help define who they are. Photos and Text by Kate T. Parker 03/08/19 As a mom of two girls who dabble in Instagram and Snapchat, I am constantly looking over their annoyed shoulders narrating their feeds like a crazed color commentator. "Photoshopped!" "Filtered!" "No one's skin looks like that!" My feed, as I imagine is yours, is chock full of perfect bodies, smiles, skin, hair and clothes.

The best of #TesAwards10
On Friday, education's best and brightest stars gathered at the Grosvenor Hotel in London to celebrate the 10th annual Tes School Awards. As well as the usual beautiful dresses, delicious food and stunning selfies, we also had a giant Panda, goats (in spirit), and the cast of the hit West End show Aladdin. Comedian Al Murray was a hilarious host – picking on those unfortunate enough to find themselves on the front row – and there were many tears and cheers of joy as the winners were announced.

Polish to English: how one school is bridging the gap
On the fifth row, where he is sitting with his Year 6 peers, 11-year-old Olivier Szamrowicz’s eyes light up. Olivier is the only Polish member of his class. And for the first time ever, something is happening in his school that focuses purely on his culture. The storyteller is part of a performance celebrating Polish art and music, which is the result of a year-long project between Walton Oak Primary School, the Riverside Community Arts Centre and RC Sherriff Trust in Surrey.
WATCH: England's (unofficial) World Cup song... performed by pupils
The 2018 World Cup might be taking place in Russia, but football is definitely coming home this year if the pupils at St Michael's CE Academy in Wakefield have anything to say about it. The primary school has released what is possibly the best football single ever produced in England (sorry, The Lightning Seeds and Ant and Dec) ahead of the nation's first match against Tunisia tonight.
How reading can boost empathy
Here’s a question for you: how empathic do you think you are? As a teacher, it’s likely your answer will be ‘very’. But how empathetic do you think your pupils are? This answer may vary more. In a society in which hate crimes are rocketing and public discourse is arguably more divisive ever, being able to empathise – the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person – is something that every member of our society should be able to do.

'Everyone says, "Isn’t it wonderful that you’ve produced this prodigy?"'
“He just looked normal. He doesn’t get nervous, he just really, really enjoys playing. Playing at the Royal Wedding just didn’t faze him. He was just in the moment,” says Vicky Manderson, head of music at Trinity Catholic School, Nottingham. “One person described it best: like lots of these brilliant performers, Sheku goes off into his own world when he’s performing, but he invites us in. His performance is him enjoying the music, but involving everyone else too. And it was captivating.
Best Books for Your Tiny Feminist
As a mother to three young daughters I am always looking for ways to celebrate the strength and accomplishments of women of all ages and demographics. One of the ways that I am teaching my children about feminism and girl power is by curating a library full of books on feminism, women in history, and stories that feature strong girl characters.
'#IfIDieInASchoolShooting, politicise my death'
" IfIDieInASchoolShooting I think about it every day. If I can carry enough of my special needs kids to safety or lock the door fast enough. If I die put my body on the steps of Congress. Let them have the blood on their hands." For pupils in the UK, the fear of being shot while at school is just that, a fear. But for their peers across the Atlantic ocean, it's become a very real, very terrifying and possible prospect.
Turn pupils into published authors in five days
Once you've thought of a best-selling idea, there's the drafting, redrafting and, of course, editing before it even gets sent to a publisher. It takes enormous self-discipline, determination and the patience of a saint. But for some secondary pupils, this whole process happens in days. At the White Water Writers' camp, small groups of pupils between the ages of 11 and 18 start a normal school week with an idea for a book. And by Friday, they are all published authors.

Royal wedding fever hits schools
The bunting is up, scones are baked (or bought) and the Meghan and Harry masks are out in full force as schools across the country celebrate tomorrow's royal wedding. Some schools are keeping it traditional with a playground tea party, with guests arriving in either patriotic red, white and blue, or as princesses and princes. Whilst other pupils are off to church to witness their classmates get "married", as several miniature "weddings" are celebrated today.

People across the country took the opportunity to speak up and shout out about the wonderful work that teachers, leaders and support staff are doing everywhere.
40 children’s books for struggling and reluctant readers
Fostering a love of reading in pupils is a must for any primary school teacher. But not all pupils take to reading like a duck to water, and often it can be a real struggle to engage those pupils with literacy. So how can you turn those reluctant readers into avid bookworms? Perhaps with one of these 40 books.

The teacher's nightmare? Meet the tech that allows you to google with your mind
What is 45,689 divided by 67? Can you answer that in your head? Arnav Kapur, a student at MIT’s Media Lab in Massachusetts, can. And not because he’s a maths genius. But because he has the ability to google questions silently, with his mind. Kapur has developed the technology which allows him to ask the internet questions, and then hear the answers through vibrations transmitted through his skull and into his inner ear. But, what does the technology mean for education?
Busting the myth around GDPR and pictures of pupils
The new rules on data protection are just weeks away from coming into force, and perplexity continues to reign. A flurry of activity on social media highlighted the confusion about the GDPR rules on consent to publish pictures of pupils. It was suggested that for each time a school wanted to publish a picture of a pupil, whether it be in a special assembly, on sports day or on a school trip, teachers would have to get consent from parents. But, this isn’t so.

Meet the man who says he has solved behaviour management
“Punishment has to have a sting,” states Sir John Townsley, leaning back on his chair. “No-one likes that word anymore, ‘punishment’, but we are not ashamed to use it." Isolation, he had said earlier, has to be "really, really harsh”. Sir John is chief executive of The Gorse Academy Trust (TGAT) in Leeds. It consists of 10 schools: four secondary, four primary, a sixth-form college and a 5 years – 16 years alternate provision centre.

Don’t let the staffroom bullies drive your star teachers away
There is one in every class: a star pupil who models good behaviour and supports the whole group with thoughtful contributions to lessons. But this isn’t only true of the classroom – it’s true of the staffroom, too. Star performers help to raise the attainment of the school. They are reliable, ambitious, and – most importantly – collaborative.
Turner Prize show takes on Thatcher, Reagan and racial politics
This year’s Turner Prize exhibition, which opens this week at the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull (26 September-7 January 2018), looks outside of the art world, engaging with social issues such as inequality, poverty, the representation of ethnic minorities, surveillance and control.

Subway riders lash out at de Blasio over homeless people taking over stations
Homeless people — including many with mental illness — have crowded the city’s subway system, prompting straphangers to demand action from Mayor de Blasio.

Homelessness in New York City is on the rise
The surging number of homeless in the city has left sidewalks so littered with sleeping bags and cardboard boxes that even vagrants are griping about the situation. “It seems like there’s been a pretty big influx of the homeless population across the entire city,” a vagrant named Alex said as he sat on a blanket at 14th Street and First Avenue with a cardboard sign in hand. “I’ve been in this general area for the past few years.
