When I began my career in education, I believed the value I brought to the classroom was my subject area expertise cultivated as an English major at UCLA and my pedagogical expertise honed while working on my teaching credential and Masters in Education. I operated under that misguided assumption for years. I remember feeling intense pressure to have the “right answer” when students asked questions.

The “how it started vs. how it’s going” meme has become social media’s shortcut way to acknowledge that nothing in 2020 is going quite as planned. It’s a reminder that the pandemic has upended just about every assumption we had for this year and caused us all to expect the unexpected in the year ahead. So it goes for remote learning too. With the vast majority of classrooms being taught digitally this year, teachers had to find a way to re-create the learning experience online.

By Mac Bogert When I first show up to provide leadership coaching or learning sessions for a new client, I spend some time wandering around the facility. There’s a lot to be learned from listening to how people talk to each other, from their body language, and from gauging how relaxed or pressured the place feels. I’m a lifelong musician, and I often frame what I observe in terms of rhythm and tempo.

Instead, I want to share some strategies I’ve been using to navigate this wild era based on strategies from my time prior to teaching, back when I performed as an improv artist in Chicago (yes, you read that right).

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.
