October has two full moons, including the current one! Full Moon is a good example of the kind of game adaptable to therapy given a task analysis.

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 would soon learn from our short introductions that we had Indigenous, Black, white, Latinx and Asian American students on the same Zoom call.
