Meaningful collaboration is the engine that drives student engagement and fuels deeper learning. When students actively engage with each other, share ideas, and build knowledge together, they move beyond passive learning and into a realm of dynamic interaction and discovery. But creating the optimal groups for these collaborative moments can be a real challenge.

Having covered the child care industry for nearly a decade and experienced the ins and outs of different types of care with my own two sons, I thought I had seen just about everything. But a little over a year ago, I came across a news story that stopped me in my tracks. In an attempt to address child care shortages, lawmakers in Wisconsin were proposing putting teenagers as young as 16 in classrooms as teachers, potentially in charge of group sizes that would be larger than ever before.

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.
