Last September, I was sitting at a long table in the sunlit conference room of my school, looking around at the many new faces on my school’s leadership team. At that moment, I had the jarring realization that my 17 years of service in the school were more than the rest of the team combined. We welcomed a new principal, dean of students, school psychologist and literacy specialist this past year.

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.

Slope-intercept form is a way of writing down the equation of a line. In other words it describes a line. It's written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The slope tells you how steep the line is. As m increases so does the steepness of the line. The larger the slope, the steeper the line, or in other words, the greater the rate of change.

Atlanta, GA When I think of honey, I think of it spread on toast, accompanied by a nice warm cup of coffee that I enjoy with my mom for Sunday brunch. Nothing more than something to satisfy my sweet tooth, really. If you asked me a year ago, I would say it’s difficult to envision that such a simple staple in many homes across the world could have such a long history not just as a sweetener, but as a medicine that hinders the growth of microbes!
