Heres my take on accountability in two parts. Part one says every single person on the planet performs better when they have someone in their life who can hold them accountable. Part two says that almost no one on the planet actually enjoys having accountability in their lives. I think thats called a dichotomy. Accountability is what we dont want; its also what we most need if we want massive success in our lives.

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.

This moment inspired Joshua Jackson and Dayshawn Louden, then student leaders at Compton College, to begin campaigning and advocating for student housing and increased basic needs on campus.
