Moreover, we now know that educators are learning in more ways than ever before—at traditional workshops and in-service days, but also online, from colleagues, from mentors, and through trial and error in their classrooms.

I’m a fourth-grade teacher in North Carolina. If you’re a teacher, you know I didn’t just spend my summer lounging by a pool. I spent much of my free time preparing for the school year. What did this preparation work look like? I engaged in several professional development (PD) opportunities. I spent time organizing my classroom. The rest of the preparation involved reflecting, researching, and planning—activities that time constraints make difficult during the school year.

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!
