School schedules and use of time are one of the few remaining relics of the industrialized learning model. Even when most schools moved to virtual learning in March 2020, many organizations replicated the existing bell schedule and instructed teachers to move their onsite instruction online. The school leaders believed it would hold teachers and students more accountable and create more predictability to help families plan their own schedules.

I was naïve. When we abruptly transitioned online in March 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, I thought the classes I teach at my flagship research university would resume in person in a matter of weeks — and for sure by the fall semester. Now, based on the latest science and human behavior, I predict that on-campus classes will not be safe until late 2022.

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.

I had contacted a couple of schools that had implemented this program, and they couldn’t be more complimentary of what it had done for their schools.

This story also appeared in PBS Newshour. It felt, to Anuar, like another sign that remote learning wasn’t going to go well for him.
