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.

To be Young, Gifted and Black. This brilliant song by Nina Simone often resonates with me when I think of our Black youth in schools, and certainly during Black Dr. Erik Hines History Month. However, the narrative for some people tends to be the opposite, particularly for Black males. Far too often, Black boys and young men are seen from a deficit paradigm riddled with low academic expectations for not exhibiting behaviors that reflect western Eurocentric values.
