I was only a few weeks into my senior year of college when I thought that I was going to have to drop out. My GPA was solid. My course load was light. And I was living with thirty of my best friends in our fraternity house. So why did I suddenly feel so worried all the time? Why was my stomach constantly in a knot and my hands frequently trembling? Why did I no longer feel like going to parties or socializing with my friends?

I first want to share my accomplishment for being chosen as a recipient of the Outstanding Innovator & Committed Leader award by Lamar University Digital Leadership Master’s Program. Though honored, humbled and surprised to hear the news it allowed me to reflect on why. As much as I enjoy my career in Project Management and Consulting, I became very selfish with my time.

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.

I was recently chosen as a Spring 2018 Featured Teacher by The Ohio State University Center for the Advancement of Teaching. As a featured teacher, I wrote a blog post for UCAT. The final UCAT version is a more polished and succinct, but I thought I would post the original, longer version here. Enjoy!

I have been really busy with life, and work, and lots of other things, so it has been over a year since I have posted! I thought I would share a fun active learning exercise that I do with my family development students related to intimate relationships. Thanks to Kale Monk for some of the inspiration behind this two-part activity. One thing I want to teach my students is to keep their expectations for their partners in check.

As many of my readers know, and for that matter, anyone who talks to me knows, I am an avid consumer of productivity tips, from blog posts to books. As the mother of four boys ages 5 to 15, married to a full-time employed co-parent, I am super busy all the time. And, I also love to not work and have fun with my family and friends. So, when I am at work, I need to get things done.

A student meme from Autumn 2017. My absolutely favorite assignment every semester is the “family science meme” assignment. I have them make a meme related to our class, and write a short paragraph explaining it. This assignment really helps me understand what stood out to them during the semester, plus the memes are really funny. I noticed last semester that more than half of the memes were about microaggressions!
