By Betsy Hill and Roger Stark Teachers and students have known since the time of Socrates that learners are different from each other, with different perspectives and aptitudes. These days, it may seem as if there is more variability in classrooms than ever when it comes to what students know and can do.

Parents and students were given a choice of in-person or online education in the 2020-21 school year.

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!

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us many things–chief among those lessons is that our educators are truly heroes. Never before have educators been challenged and tested as they were beginning in March 2020 and continuing up to present day, and never before has their resilience been more apparent. With the abrupt move to online learning in the spring of 2020 to the introduction of hybrid and full-time in-person learning today, educators have been innovative and determined as they remained d
