ED Week

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023

In today’s world where so many different elements of the news and of our culture are competing for students’ attention, one of the hardest things to do in grades 6 to 12 science education is to show young people the impact of what they are learning and why it matters. For a teacher, it’s a true gift to make space in your classroom – and in your curriculum – for letting students see how what they are learning can impact society in a truly positive way.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
