“Why do wolves howl at the moon?” “How do cars move?” “Why don’t haircuts hurt?” When it comes to engagement, teachers value learning experiences that address the whole child—creatively, cognitively and emotionally.

After a professional development session for my teacher education program, I met with my supervisor to express a concern about a required program activity for my students. I told my supervisor the design and language used in the activity were not accessible to my students. Most of my students immigrated to the United States within the last year, and all of them were English learners, thus making it difficult for them to complete the activity.

Since early in the pandemic, teachers, administrators, parents, and students have been called upon to do things differently. At first, there were band-aids put in place just to try to make it to the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Surely the pandemic would be only a temporary inconvenience.

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 the significant shifts in my health journey is not that I have worked hard at it (I feel I always have), but that I have become more disciplined. I have always exercised, but my eating habits have changed significantly. I am pretty focused on not only what I eat but when I eat. That has changed a lot for me.
