The College Board's decision to revise its African American Studies curriculum has come under fire from many who argue that the changes are motivated by political pressure rather than pedagogical considerations. The new curriculum, which is stripped of much of the subject matter that the DeSantis administration opposed, has been criticized for erasing the experiences of Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory, reparations, the queer experience, and Black feminism.

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.

They are the people most engaged in programs and activities that help students develop healthy goals, mindsets, and behaviors. They are making a difference in the daily lives of our K-12 students and changing the conversation about mental health in their schools.

The fastest way to get past one mistake is to make another one. The reality is that the most successful people make more mistakes than less successful people. They make more mistakes because they try to succeed more often than other people. I can’t remember all the mistakes I’ve made. But I do remember most of the lessons I’ve learned from them. Someone will ask me for advice and I’ll try to provide the best advice I can.

As I suggested in my last post , this difference is not as daunting as it sounds, although of course there is always the small matter of having to produce more words.
