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.

As PTA president at my childrens school, I rely on social media to keep families informed about everything from sports and musicals to important school updates. But Ive also seen firsthand how it can be distracting or be used to share comments that conflict with school values. It is particularly hard to create a healthy digital school culture when school leaders have little control over removing content, such as confession accounts, fight accounts and impersonation accounts.
