The why and how of teaching perseverance in classrooms is an ongoing debate. Some have usefully argued that focusing on building an individual’s “grit” (a combination of perseverance and passion) is a distraction from more significant systemic issues such as poverty and ignores how many kids — especially those living in poverty — must develop persistence simply as a means of survival.

One of the best ways we learn is by teaching others. By playing the role of the teacher, students demonstrate understanding and learn about instructional design, delivery, and presentation. They begin to reflect on the learning process, because they will know if their peers learned the material or not.

As an educator I speak on finding balance and I teach digital citizenship skills on a regular basis, starting as young as kindergarten.

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.
