That idealism infused every class in your credential program and only took a slight bump during your student teacher days.

I’m not supposed to be alive, much less thriving. When I was 6 years old, my pregnant mom and I became chronically homeless. For almost my entire childhood, we slept in squalid shelters, in abandoned homes infested with rats and without running water, on discarded mattresses in alleyways and on cold, metal bus station benches. I’ve been nearly stuck with a used needle and threatened by men who saw me as prey.

I recently did a podcast “review” on the book, and I find that process beneficial to deepening my learning of anything I read. I have never focused on reading as many books as possible but creating my own connections to the learning shared so that it “sticks” in my mind long after the reading.

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.
