I field a lot of questions about classroom management when I work with teachers transitioning to blended learning.

(I also had the opportunity to speak for a few minutes; here are my slides ). Here are four thoughts that are spinning around in my brain after a couple of hours of discussion… First, if we publish an article in a traditional journal which happens to post that article online and it then gets a few social media shares,

When and how should students learn social and emotional skills—between first-period biology and third-period English literature? After lunch and before U.S. history? It might seem strange to squeeze in lessons on coping with trauma or resolving political disputes in between frog dissections and persuasive essay writing, but students today say they want to be as prepared socially and emotionally as they are academically when they leave high school.

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.
