When Gina Petersen graduated with her associate degree from Kirkwood Community College two years ago, she described it as “the biggest accomplishment I have ever done.” As a returning adult college student, she had struggled to fit her studies in part time, online, while working as a trainer for a tech company. She had gotten that job through connections, and she hoped that a college degree would be a big help if she ever needed to find a new job in the future.

Multiple choice exams are both a blessing and a curse. They’re the only test format where the answer is literally staring you in the face —but it’s also sitting next to three or four other answers that look suspiciously similar. On the one hand, it may feel like a relief to hear that your exam is multiple-choice because even if you’re clueless, guessing will get you a correct answer 20-25% of the time.

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.

When my 8-year-old started asking questions about the world, it hit me that there wasn’t a lot out there to guide parents in teaching their kids about being active, engaged citizens. Manifestations of this gap are even more glaring in my college classroom, where many of my students do not know how to vote, haven’t read the Constitution and are unaware of the state and local political offices responsible for many of our quality-of-life decisions.

What do you think of when you hear the word “civics”? For most adults, civics likely conjures distant memories of a high school course in which they memorized the three branches of government and other constitutional trivia. Unfortunately, that experience of civics hasn’t changed much. What has been missing from civics education for decades is deep civic learning, in which students come to understand what a good democratic government looks and feels like and deeply connect with their own capacit
