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.

The following is a guest post from Ashley Priest. I love walking into classrooms in my current role as an Assistant Principal and hearing teachers say, “Sorry it looks like a mess in here” or “It is not usually like this, we were just working on a project.” I always say and think the same thing…”Good!” I cannot stand walking into a quiet classroom where you can hear a pin drop.

The following is a guest post from Ashley Priest. Without organization, the STEM lab can become very messy, making it hard to truly teach and help students learn and grow. Chaos is good but it must be organized! Flexibility is very important in the STEM lab since sometimes students will be working at their tables, on the floor, or sometimes furniture may need to be rearranged a little bit.

Teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to middle school students presents a unique opportunity for educators and administrators. By this point in a student’s education, they have likely decided what their favorite subjects are and if they like STEM. Depending on their current feelings about STEM education, educators have to get more creative to engage students and present the curriculum in a way that students find exciting.
