Sparking student engagement, no matter the subject matter, often means meeting students where they’re already at. It’s about tapping into their natural curiosity while motivating them to do the work necessary to learn the lesson. This can be accomplished through projects, group work, games, and inquiry-based instruction. Each of these strategies shares the idea of hands-on learning in some way, but inquiry education takes a unique approach, giving students an increased level of autonomy to help

From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis Follow @coolcatteacher on Twitter Chronic absenteeism from school is a staggering problem. We can't teach students who aren't there. This week on the newsletter , I shared resources about tackling chronic absenteeism and thought I'd put some out there for you since this is such a pervasive problem.

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.

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. We have long believed that one of the keys to successfully closing learning gaps in STEM education is through captivating, current methods that engage students’ imaginations. One such method is game-based learning, which we have integrated into our curriculum. In fact, we even partnered with San Jacinto Community College in 2021 to offer a programming internship that tasked interns with creating a set of web-based educational games for use in our programs.
