Ask a Tech Teacher contributor, Christian Miraglia, wrote an interesting article on changes in teaching since the pandemic. I think you’ll find a lot to relate to: Has Teaching Changed Since the Pandemic? March 13, 2019, for many educators in California and nationwide, was a day that will forever be etched in their memories. It was the day that many school districts closed temporarily, or so they thought, due to the spread and uncertainty of COVID-19.

Over the course of the pandemic, the disruption of activities within education has been particularly far-reaching. In the K–12 realm, students are tentatively returning to their classrooms after another year of COVID-19, but they are hardly finding the same routines in place as when they left. Some schools are making use of every available space, including nontraditional classrooms such as hallways and the outdoor parts of school grounds.

By Jeff Waller If there is one thing the pandemic has taught us, it’s that we really have no idea what the future holds. Yet, we find ourselves teaching our children how to thrive in the world we live in, or as it once was, rather than preparing them for a world we don’t understand. The other day I asked my son how to spell the word “entrepreneur.” He immediately opened an app on his phone and gave me the correct spelling within seconds.

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.
