There was a shift in Cheryl Gonzales’ life—a period of transition that seemed full of possibilities—around the time of a high school graduation. Not hers, her youngest daughter. The 43-year-old mom of four (and grandmother of two) turned her thoughts back to an associates degree that had sat unfinished since she left St. Philip’s College, in San Antonio’s east side, rather suddenly 20 years before.

I was thinking about data science lately. The problem is that I don’t know much about data science. I learned about data bases in school and worked with them some in industry but that was mostly about how they work internally. I used to give talks on how B* Trees worked and I could (back then) give serious talks on how databases do journaling. But I never did much of anything with real work data applications.

Project-based learning is a powerful pedagogy when implemented with fidelity- the possibilities for learning are truly endless when teaching is contextualized in the real world. As we know, the real world does not exist in hallways or class periods, but rather it is a beautifully integrated place. One of the values that PBL offers is the ease with which integrating content areas can happen.

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.

When you think about the materials used to make window panes, wood is probably not the first thing that comes to your mind. How can this brown and opaque material create transparent windows that allow us to look out on the world?

Tucked away in every cell of your body is a molecule called DNA. Smaller bits of DNA, called genes, contain blueprints that tell your cells how to make proteins. These proteins can perform a whole range of tasks, like building muscles or even making eye pigments! These genes are also physical units of heredity – they can be passed on to offspring and help shape traits of entire species.
