Learning about alternate teaching strategies is always exciting, especially when they can demonstrate proven results to engage students better. After the excitement wanes, the challenge is figuring out how to integrate this strategy into your existing curriculum and/or rewrite it completely. For those who have gotten a glimpse of project-based learning and want to try it, you don’t have to start with creating a project-based learning curriculum.

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.

When thinking about your curriculum, certain words always seem to go together — problem with solving, math and principles, but what you don’t often hear paired together is science and literacy. Aren’t they two different subjects? Yes, and no. While you most often think of literacy as part of an English or reading curriculum, being able to read and write plays a massive role in science.

Teaching science requires more than merely imparting knowledge; it involves encouraging students' critical thinking skills, natural curiosity, and passion for science as a lifelong pursuit. To achieve these objectives, educators must adopt student-centered strategies that are highly engaging, demonstrate positive results on standardized tests, and promote the development of skills that can be applied to higher education and careers.
