Latino children make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in K-12 education. Yet few are likely to grow up and establish careers in technology. For them, there’s obviously a leak somewhere in the school-to-jobs pipeline. Just one in 10 tech workers are Latino, and while Latino college students are choosing STEM fields in college more frequently , they earn only about 12 percent of undergraduate degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

But what about the impact of various other opportunities, like after school clubs, music lessons and sports? This was the question a team of researchers tried to explore over more than a quarter century: their landmark study followed more than 800 children from infancy into adulthood, across the many settings and activities they engaged in.

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.

Rural young people who aspire to a higher education have long had fewer choices than their urban and suburban counterparts, contributing to far lower rates of college-going. Now many of the universities that serve them are eliminating large numbers of programs and majors. That means the already limited number of options available to rural students are being squeezed even further, forcing them to travel even greater distances to college than they already do or give up on it altogether.
