It’s the end of the school year and we are hanging by a thread over here in room 516! I’m tired, my students are tired, and to be honest… I have been looking for activities that will keep my seniors grounded while we finish out our last few weeks. This week, I assigned my Forensics students this CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE BOARD project. It was easy, didn’t require a lot of prep on my end, and held my seniors’ attention surprisingly well!

Also, known as a highly engaging week! Water week is the most fun week we have every year. Let me share ways for you to plan your own version of Water Week! The first time I wrote Water Week on our agenda board I knew students would be excited. And, they were! Before I even met them at my lab door I could hear their excited voices and I knew this was going to be great.

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.
