Plenty of students find social studies lessons a bit dull. Not Caleb Brown. Where some students might see a sequence of dates to memorize, he sees turning points that helped define the world we live in today. Where some might see a long list of presidents whose names and timelines blur together, he sees stories of courage and perseverance. Where some see bloody battles and impassioned speeches that no longer seem relevant, he sees a chance to understand what we’ve been through and where we’re go

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.

For marginalized students especially, we need to move from a “pedagogy of poverty” to a “pedagogy of plenty.” Education consultant and ASCD author Carol Ann Tomlinson advocates for educators to “teach up”—to plan differentiated instruction that provides equitable access to “high ceilings” of learning and scaffolding that enables a wide range of learners to succeed.
