My goal is to demystify technology, a topic that remains for many confusing and intimidating.

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.

Demographics. McMinnville School District serves 6,800 students across 9 schools. Biggest challenge. We are a Title 1 school in rural Oregon with over 60 percent of our students experiencing poverty and our best estimate tells us that 36 percent have also experienced some sort of childhood trauma. These obstacles create barriers for our students coming to school ready to learn and thrive both academically and social emotionally.

After all, they ask themselves, what’s the worst that could happen? In Louisiana, educators don’t have that luxury.

Many educators across North America are either about to go on break or are already on their summer break. I don’t know if the term “break” is accurate (I saw someone refer to it as “recovery”)because I know from experience, that many (if not most) take advantage to grow with formal and informal learning opportunities. That is great, but I am also an advocate of taking an actual break where you step away from it all and do what you need to do.
