My advanced degree is in counseling. I sought this degree due to my affinity towards at-risk and adjudicated youth. One of the most powerful learnings from my training as a counselor was a comment I heard at a conference, Counselors need to be purveyors of hope since many clients get in trouble and/or seek counseling due to a lack of hope. I have since become a teacher educator (with some teaching of elementary gifted students at a few Title 1 schools thrown in).

I’ve developed somewhat of a complex in the last year being a college student with an interest in the education system. As a junior at Washington University in St. Louis, the more I dive into conversations and debates around pedagogy, the more I find myself thinking about how I am experiencing or witnessing the problems that I want to help solve. In 2017, this was especially true while taking a computer science course on data structures and algorithms.

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.

One of my goals for 2018 is to read more books. I read a ton of articles, but I have slacked off on the number of books that I have read in the last two years. The balance I want to find is reading books that are new, but also non-fiction classics. I am trying to not only relearn from some of these books but actively seeking why these books have stood the test of time.

One of my all-time favorite authors is Haruki Murakami. His books have this surrealist tone and a consistent interweaving of the conscious & unconscious. My head is always left spinning and wondering as I read a Murakami novel, and I love how these books force me to imagine and make my own connections between scenes and chapters. Kafka on the Shore is one such Murakami novel that blurs the conscious and unconscious minds.
