Last year, I had the privilege of learning and leading as the 2022 Hawaiʻi State Teacher of the Year and a CCSSO National Finalist. After being thrown into the public arena, my image, my story and my classroom were displayed and open for critique. As I traveled across the nation, teachers shared their stories with me. One of the most heartfelt stories I heard was from a fellow Asian educator.

This past year was a hard one, defined by the exhaustion of trying to return to “normal.” And in the edtech world, normal meant more ed and less tech than in 2020 and 2021. This shift makes sense in a lot of ways—the Zoom classes of the early pandemic stunk. Test scores fell dramatically. Students across the U.S. (and around the world) stopped showing up to school.

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.

What do you remember doing when you were 4 years old? Maybe it was playing with blocks, sorting shapes, coloring inside and outside of the lines , or making mud pies. This was certainly my experience! But for my daughter and many children like her, technology played an influential role in their early development. In fact, it is not uncommon to see toddlers walking using smartphones to watch videos or play games.

If students develop executive function skills – focus, planning and organizing, self-monitoring – classrooms will run more smoothly, there will be fewer interruptions and repetitions, and teachers will have successfully bridged the SEL/academics gap, writes Marilee Sprenger.

Children, in most preschools, are afforded unique opportunities to learn in relaxed and fun ways. Science learning can specifically benefit from this relaxed environment and as teachers we can tap into this particular environment. Specifically, we can intentionally teach skills and practices related to productive ways to engage in arguments. Intentional talk or discourse, in the context of science, is the ability to engage in evidence-based positive discussions.

Wolves might go solo or be puppet pack leaders due to parasites, Credit: Wikimedia/Chris Muiden. Wolves might be puppets to a certain parasite, which makes them take risks. Wolves infected with Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to go solo or challenge other wolves to become the pack leader, both of which are reckless and bold decisions for wolves. These actions can go either way: the wolves could benefit from these decisions, but on the flip side, they could meet death.

Reflection is, unfortunately, one of the first things to go during a busy project when a teacher is first learning how to juggle all the moving parts. Projects can feel rushed, given the need to learn the material, do research, complete products in time for presentations, and all the other to-dos. Allowing time for students to reflect is seen as something that’s not quite as important as “work time” or “learn this piece of content time.

The idea that the space in which you do something, affects the thing you do is the basic premise behind active learning classrooms (ALCs). These are classroom spaces with features meant to promote and amplify the effects of active learning, including moveable furniture that can be reconfigured easily and a polycentric design where there is no obvious “front” to the room.
