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.

In Florida, 31.7 percent of 2018 public high school graduates scored a 3 or higher on an Advanced Placement (AP) exam during high school, compared to 32.9 percent in Massachusetts and 32.2 percent in Connecticut. The national average is 23.5 percent. This success is even more notable, because Florida serves a significantly higher population of low-income students than Connecticut and Massachusetts, as well as the national average.

In daily life, I often find myself looking for ways to do something differently, and hopefully better. In my more than 10 years in the classroom I kept the personal goal of helping students be creative at the forefront of my classroom structure. From crayons and construction paper to Chromebooks and extensions, creativity took a variety of forms. As I explore the Chrome landscape today, I am finding more and more fun ways to help students be creative in less than obvious ways.
