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.

The trick to getting more parents involved in what’s going on in the classroom: stick to video, social media, and other familiar tech.

Trace Pickering, associate superintendent, Cedar Rapids Community School District. Education reform is often framed as an issue for schools that are failing to meet expectations. Schools where students struggle – because they tend to have fewer resources and bigger challenges – are most often the target for new school models. But some school districts that arguably have no reason to change are shaking things up, too.
