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.

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. Do high-paying STEM careers require college degrees? Here at C-STEM, we focus on K-12 STEM education, often with the goal of a college degree. Ultimately, we strive to give underrepresented students the opportunities they need to establish fulfilling careers and turn the tide for the next generation of students. However, with STEM careers continuing to multiply faster than ever, we’re finding that some of these careers do not require a college degree.

This month’s best books include two that I made a mistake with. I listened to one while reading the other. The books were so similar this was hard. Those two books are the first ones reviewed today. Then I tried a book that was amazing! At the same time, I was watching a television show with a similar theme so I switched to a romance of sorts for another selection- a more light reading topic.

—Houston, Texas With today’s ever-increasing use of technology, we can see 3D models through a simple flat computer screen. LIDAR systems can help us observe objects or areas in more detail. LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It uses light in the form of a rapidly pulsing laser to measure distances from a relative point. A vertically tilted mirror spins to reflect the laser at a rapid rate in a horizontal 360-degree motion in order to scan the surroundings and obtain different angles.

Halloween Books for Kids can be a turning point this season. With Halloween fast approaching, parents are torn between allowing their children to go trick-or-treating or staying in to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. As CNN points out, nothing is exactly back to 2019. Although children over the age of 12 can be vaccinated and going outdoors is considered safer, families with young children may put elderly, immunocompromised family members at risk through exposure.

Test corrections are the most valuable and productive use of my students' time I can think of. Nowadays, I don't even return graded tests; rather, I give each student a blank copy of the test, along with notation about which questions they didn't earn full credit on. They can see the original graded test (and their grade) only after getting all corrections checked off.
