Little kids make better philosophers than most adults. That’s the surprising argument made by Scott Hershovitz, a professor of philosophy and law at the University of Michigan. And he worries that too often, teachers and other adults brush off or ignore kids when they ask things like, “Are we all just a figment of someone else’s dream?” “Kids are new to the world, and they're constantly puzzled by it,” says Hershovitz.

School has always been a source of comfort for Pricila Cano Padron — so much so, in fact, that she describes it as a “second home.” She’s not kidding.

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.

Educators are continually striving to improve their teaching practices. Working towards classroom goals is more effective with a structured process – we have the science to back it up. Improvement science is an approach to educator growth rooted in data, inquiry, and iteration that teachers can use when developing teaching practices. Instead of teachers simply trying to strengthen teaching practice without a plan or process, improvement science provides a clear framework for getting better.
