Doesn't matter that I teach AP students. Generally speaking, they don't know how to study.

Today, we're going back to the basics of flashcards. So powerful for learning when done correctly.

Don't make learning more complicated than it need be.

Yesterday afternoon I led a session on memory processing with a middle school faculty in Las Vegas.

Not long after, I received this email from admin…made my day. 🙂

“Thank goodness for this book. Blake Harvard’s topic–the basic functions of human cognition–is quite literally the most important body of knowledge for any teacher to know in order to design and adapt instruction for students."

If the World Economic Forum believes that, by 2030, creativity can increase while reading, writing, and mathematics decrease…they are sadly mistaken.

In building taller buildings, architects and engineers cannot ignore the foundation. In teaching our students, we cannot ignore the foundation.

A quick and easily adaptable method for getting a heck of a lot of thinking out of one multiple-choice question.

1. Find the correct answer.
2. Do more thinking with all of the incorrect answers.

Teachers, when designing lessons, where do you start? What drives your process?

Utilizing highly effective strategies for learning in class can be easily designed and applied. There's no need to make it more difficult that it needs to be.

Place yourself back in the student's seat and remember what it's like to be the learner. You'll be a better teacher for it.
