A Principal's Reflections

“ Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.” - Brené Brown Change is hard. It is even more challenging to sustain. While there are many obstacles to individual or system growth, fear and comfort tend to lead the pack. Both work to stymie a desire to improve for different reasons. Often, we are afraid of taking risks or embracing new ideas because they might not work out, resulting in a decrease in performance, outcomes, or morale.

The post How a Banned Book Bred Lifetime Readers first appeared on MiddleWeb.

A feature in PowerPoint is for the date to be added to the slide when you open the PowerPoint. I was asked to do this for Google Slides. I do not have it do it automatically, you need to use the Add-on menu to swap out the date stamp. However, in some other countries, the style of adding the date is different. I have updated my Add-on “Add-a-Date” to include a Spanish version.

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.
