This is the third in a three-part series of conversations with Latino educators and edtech experts. Read the first part here and the second part here. Before we get into the educator perspectives shared below, there’s something I have to explain about Latino culture. Something perhaps not exclusive or applicable to the way all 62.5 million of us in the United States were raised, but important for context just the same.

Who said a STEM Club has to run every week? Who said the same students have to attend each session? No-one! That’s why we came up with our Six Week STEM Club Programme! It’s a programme that schools or clubs can repeat every half-term with a different set of learners each time – that means less time needed to plan and resource and more time to engage & excite a wider range of young people!

I’ve loved literature since I was a little girl. I was always eager for a new book, a new word, a new understanding, a new connection, a new… knowing. I’ve read about what happens to a dream deferred. I’ve read about southern trees that bore strange fruit. I’ve read about why the caged bird sings. Literature has taken me toward the warmth of other suns and dropped me off at the intersection of awareness and identity.

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.
