To remember what you learn, don't just review it. Read it out loud. You're more likely to retain what you say than what you hear or read silently. Actively producing words in your own voice makes them stick. Our best recall is for the information we reconstruct ourselves.

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being. New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied. Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

Interventions work best when students are grouped by need across classrooms and staff members are assigned by expertise.  This is a much more efficient and effective way to intervene, in comparison to each teacher keeping her/his own students. – at Florida, USA

Quote from Lecturer Victor Pereira: Teachers are both the spark and the invitation. When I think about the spark, they spark curiosity, and they're the invitation to a community of learning where you have position and power to have an impact in the society that you live in.
