A Principal's Reflections
OCTOBER 6, 2024
During the pandemic, I was grounded for an extensive period of time. It was quite odd and liberating not to be constantly on a plane, train, or in a rental car. Boy, did I make use of my bike since the gyms were closed. While a few of my projects continued, these were few and far between. When I traveled, there was nowhere to go and eat as everything was delivered.

Certainly, the latter sentiment is familiar enough—a cliché or at least idealistic platitude regarding the many roles teachers play in students’ lives, both in class and beyond. But the realities of daily instruction constantly challenge and expand how we understand teaching—not only as a profession, but as a vocation, a calling that d

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.
