Since my teaching experience is in English, I wanted to share some of my favorite station ideas to inspire teachers who are flirting with the idea of trying the station rotation model.

There’s a group that is growing in higher education, and it didn’t even used to think of itself as a group. Even just a few years ago, most first-generation students—the first in their family to enter higher education—didn’t think of themselves that way, and colleges didn’t treat them any differently. But there’s a growing awareness that this is a set of students that can benefit greatly from some additional supports.

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.

At the same time, I understood that the probability of finding a paid summer job in the arts, as opposed to a volunteer position, was slim-to-none.

She then maps out the cliques, including preps, jocks and, of course, the “plastics.” The scene is an exaggeration of a common experience: the stress of finding your place in a school cafeteria.
