However, if teachers are going to say the same thing the same way for all students, I encourage them to make a video.

A Principal's Reflections

OCTOBER 10, 2021

Growth is a never-ending journey. While there is no one best way to get better at what we do, I think we can all agree that feedback is a necessity no matter the path taken. For it to impact practice, it should be practical, specific, timely, and facilitated in a positive fashion. While we know how important feedback is to our growth, the question becomes how often do we receive it in some form?

When Diamante Hare stepped onto Northeastern Illinois University’s campus in Chicago for the first time in 2018, he was gambling with thousands of dollars of grants, scholarships and loans — and his future. As gambling tends to go, the odds were against him. This story also appeared in NBC News. Away from his predominantly Black, West Chicago neighborhood for the first time, Hare felt uncomfortable.

The Cornerstone for Teachers

OCTOBER 10, 2021

This article is written by Truth for Teachers writer Megan Faherty. As a high school teacher, I hear this refrain all the time: “I love working with students, I enjoy planning, but ugh! The grading! I hate the grading!” I hear this from my colleagues, and I say it to myself. I don’t think anyone got into teaching because they love grading. For many of us, if we could get the massive pile of papers to grade under control, we would enjoy our jobs a lot more.

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.

Millions of college freshmen are settling into college this fall, and 9 out of 10 of those pursuing bachelor’s degrees are confident they’ll finish in four years or less. If history holds true, however, fewer than half of them actually will. Colleges have gradually moved the finish line to give themselves credit for success if students graduate in six years — or even eight years, which is what consumers find reported on the government’s newest consumer website, College Scorecard.
