Policymaking, like a multi-colored, splatter-coated Jackson Pollock painting, is messy art. But when you get the balance right, it’s priceless and worth a closer look. Nearly a year ago now, in my corner of the country—Multnomah County, Ore., which encompasses the city of Portland—something remarkable happened. We did get the balance right. After nearly a decade of organizing, advocacy, planning and hand-wringing, we passed a Preschool for All initiative.

The definition of success is a “favorable or desired outcome.” At Title I schools, where students are often at a disadvantage from the start, measuring success can look different depending on the student and the circumstance. So when it comes to reading, sometimes success can look like a student simply picking up a book. In my classroom, students generally read below grade level.

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.
