In 2021 we navigated a lot of change and ambiguity. Life felt at times, hectic and unpredictable, but there was also a slowing down. There were shortages; so we waited longer for everything from household supplies to PCR tests. We saw inflation creep up, and so we waited to buy things; and, we changed our purchasing habits. Stores and restaurants reduced hours due to staffing issues and lowered demand.

According to the National Council on Teacher Quality (2012), the average teacher in the United States gets 45 minutes of planning time per day.

Before the pandemic, I thought multitasking was crucial to my success in the many roles and labels I carry: mom, wife, leader, friend, daughter, sister, and many more.

As 2021 draws to a close and I emerge from another exhausting day of seeing teenage clients in the office, I reflect on the successes and failures of this past year. Our schools are successfully navigating through a pandemic and most of the globe has returned to in-person learning. Facebook’s duplicity has been exposed to Congress and society at large.

Yesterday I was discussing with my wife about hope. She said something which I found very profound Hope is the expectation that change is going to happen soon While philosophers have shunned hope asking to be in the present and not dwell too much into the future, I disagree with them sometimes.

As researchers of early childhood development, we focus on generating science that improves outcomes for children of all backgrounds. The Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide movement for racial justice have only made this work more urgent. Closing opportunity gaps for Black children and other children of color begins with expanding all families’ access to high-quality learning environments, in preschools and beyond.

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.
