Something broke in American education these past years. Too many students don’t reach grade-level metrics and no one can agree on the cause. I went out to our international contributors for ideas. They had a lot, but this one I thought I’d cover first: Is the Traditional Classroom Becoming Obsolete? You might argue that the traditional classroom still plays an essential role in education, but the rapid growth of online and hybrid models suggests otherwise.

A new study shows trust is the most important factor for parents when choosing child care, with many leaning toward at-home programs or relying on their families, friends and neighbors. But researchers are concerned there is not adequate support in place for those systems to flourish, with the majority of legislation focused on bolstering child care centers.

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.

Experiential learning isnt just a buzzword, its a game-changer in the classroom. Instead of students passively absorbing information, they get to get their hands dirty (sometimes literally) and connect learning to real-world experiences. Whether working with younger or older students, hands-on activities can make a huge difference in engagement, retention , and critical thinking.

Post by Dr. Natasha Wilkerson May 2, 2025 At Vivify, we believe every student deserves the chance to see themselves as a scientist, engineer, or innovator. But far too often, the images and messages students receive about STEM send the opposite signal. Whether its a Google search or a superhero movie, the stereotype of who belongs in STEM is still far too narrow, influencing students' perceptions from an early age.
