"Learning new vocabulary can be quite daunting for most students. We just have to look at the literacy rates to see how much children struggle with vocabulary. Rote learning of vocabulary does not really work. Experience has taught me students remember what they use and explore. Students need to have fun, engage with the material, and explore how their new knowledge works. "

How would this knowledge help our kids?

And how about my own son? This makes total sense. I can't wait to see the actual study to see the activity recommendations and see how those might be modified (since many of our students have poor self-regulation).

Good article. I liked the comment! To make positive change, there is a formula that can work. 1. The center of curriculum revolves around the Common Core State Standards. 2. Common formative assessments are developed and analyzed measuring the students' abilities of the standards. 3. An engaging and relevant content curriculum that matches the skills we are teaching our children. 4. Use proven research-based instruction in the classroom. It sounds easy, but we tend to focus too much on content and testing as opposed to skill development.

Maybe I really really need this.
