JUNE 23, 2019
The future of work should be on the top of everyone’s mind as it is smacking us right now in the face.

Photo by Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images. It was a potential disaster for any new teacher: A student in my eighth-grade math class was telling me that I didn’t know the rules and proclaiming that he would never speak to me again. Basically, he was testing whether I had the confidence to handle a difficult situation. Even though I already had a master’s degree in teaching, I had applied for a position as an associate teacher in the Massachusetts charter school where I currently work.

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.

A few years ago, a young woman named Natalia graduated from one of our Girls Who Code summer programs. Natalia, like many of our alumni, is an undocumented immigrant with DACA status. After learning to code, she went on to major in computer science in college, and she is now putting her technical skills to work on a film about immigration laws. Soon, however, our programs may not reach young women like Natalia.
