Earnest. Decent. Unassuming. When I think of Jonathan Haber, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack last week, those are the first words that come to mind. Jonathan, who wrote columns for EdSurge among his many pursuits, was a wonderful thinker, in education and in life. The recent author of the book Critical Thinking , a topic about which he cared deeply, Haber had contributed in significant ways to a variety of important education projects.

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.
