After visiting all these places, I wanted to understand a little bit more about how to create my own walkSTEM stop. So, I went to a place in the Arboretum where I love to sit and watch – the koi pond at the Lay Family Garden and used the simple methods freely available on the talkSTEM website to design my own walkSTEM stop! Visit talkSTEM.org and click on the walkSTEM tab, then click on “ Create Your Own walkSTEM ” in the dropdown menu.

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.
