So there are indeed some people who seem to enjoy conflict. Sometimes they are contrarians, always taking the other side, if for no other reason than to get under your skin. I dont really concern myself with dealing with that type of conflict; I just let those people argue with themselves. And believe me, if they dont have someone else to argue with, they really will argue with themselves.

During the 2016-2017 school year, the Brothers to Sisters Club at Compton College reserved a portion of their meetings for Real Talk. This allowed students to share their current feelings and experiences. During one of these meetings, two students spoke up and shared that they were homeless. This moment inspired Joshua Jackson and Dayshawn Louden, then student leaders at Compton College, to begin campaigning and advocating for student housing and increased basic needs on campus.

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.
Counselors' Corner

by Patrick O'Connor, Ph.D. National School Counseling Week is next week. I keep hoping this is the year when, like Labor Day, counselors dont have to be the ones to remind the world about this incredible opportunity to thank their hopelessly overworked selves for everything they do, especially the things they do that no one notices they do. But it doesnt look like this is that year, so let me instead not only remind you of this opportunity to remind others, but suggest how you celebrate it.

In our quest for anti-racist academic organizations from preschool to higher education, we have urged educators to develop competencies - dispositions, knowledge, and skills - to put philosophy into practice. Doing so requires reflection assessment to determine commitment and the degree to which change is taking place or has occurred. It is frustrating, to say the least, when we read reports pontificating anti-racism/anti-oppression but fail to witness this in practice.
