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.

Most of June was devoted to taking this dimly lit cavern into a place where people would really like to, you know, shop—and since they finished early, they figured they’d stack the store with school promotions just a little earlier than usual.

Six out of 10 college students live with mental health disorders. And although the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a 250-to-1 ratio of students to school counselors , the national average was 415-to-1 for the 2020-2021 academic year. Clearly, an imbalance exists that needs to be corrected. And, without a strategy for meeting student demands for care, the impact of long wait times for care is likely to be felt at college and university campuses across the country.

Becoming a first time investor has become pretty popular in recent years! According to the 2021 CNBC/Momentive’s Invest In You Poll , 59% of respondents aged 18-34 years old began investing in 2020. . And 57% of those 18-34 year olds reported using self-service mobile apps to invest. Why? Probably because investment apps make it relatively cheap and easy to start investing as a beginner – even if you don’t know much about the stock market.
