“A digital learning day on steroids.” That’s how Emily Bell, Fulton County Schools CIO, recalls the day in mid-March 2020 when the Georgia district closed its doors and launched into remote instruction in response to the novel coronavirus.

He usually begins the academic year with lessons on written profiles, but in the fall of 2020, he felt that wouldn’t meet the moment.

Diversity, according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary , is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements, especially the inclusion of people of different races, cultures, etc. in a group or organization. As an educator, with over 17 years of experience, I’ve heard the word diversity used in various contexts throughout my career. However, over the last 16 months or so, the importance of diversity–and especially inclusion–has been highlighted to Americans across the co

Ten years ago, Pooja Sankar set out to build an edtech tool that gave shy students superpowers in their college courses. Her premise was that a key link between professors and students was broken. Specifically, she felt that emails between professors and students led to inequalities when it came to which students understood material or got clarifications on how to do assignments.

Here are some comments I’ve heard from children lately: “It’s her fault she got Covid. She took too long eating lunch without a mask.”. “Who cares if I get on a flight with Covid? I’m already sick.”.

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.
