Schools have always pleaded for parental involvement in the educational process and the teacher-parent relationship as the ground for academic development and emotional balance of students. With the help of technology, schools are able to maintain the channels of communication open and this was more so seen during online schooling. Teachers and parents joined forces to ensure learning occurred in normal parameters under extraordinary conditions.

Everyone seems to want change. While this, in essence, is a good thing, the reality is that many people don't want to actually go through the complex process. If this wasn't challenging enough, the individuals needed to lead it is even less. Thus, there must be a combination of willingness, planning, and action that results in improvement when any idea is put forth.

I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”. If you’re an educator, September makes you think of new backpacks, colorful pens, clean lunch boxes.

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.
