STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. These four topics cover every aspect of our life. Science is our natural world, from the land we live on to the oceans and space we aspire to visit. It’s the weather that changes our picnic plans to the natural disaster that destroyed a town in our own state. Technology includes the iPads toddlers play on, the smartphones we use to guide our days, the apps that turn our lights on and off–or start our car.

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.

Most schools and districts focus their anti-bullying efforts on students in grades 6-12. A recent study on chronic absenteeism and bullying by the John Hopkins University Center for Social Organization challenges schools to direct attention to even younger students, in as early as third or fourth grade. Until recently, I didn’t think of chronic absenteeism as a major challenge for K-12 education, but, thanks to this study and talking to colleagues, now I do.

Fortunately, Maryellen Weimer’s got us sorted with some good advice about “Waking up to Tired Teaching” , which may be useful for the week to come. If your institution’s on spring break next week, of course, then I hope it’s some combination of restful and productive–or crazy and wild, if that is your thing!
