“The fact is tuition as the price of admission is not what keeps students away from @calstate,” trustee Julia Lopez said. “Almost nine out of 10 students get some sort of tuition grant, but it’s other costs.” #caedu #HigherEd #CSU

Conflict in the classroom isn’t always a bad thing. Games like cup stacking and the egg-drop challenge create low-stakes opportunities for students to resolve their differences 🥤🥚

And a 2020 study concluded that 8-year-old students learning a new language were *73 percent* more likely to remember vocabulary if they acted it out—spreading their arms and pretending to fly when learning how to say “airplane” in German, for example.

The research on multimodal learning is clear:

In 2015, researchers found that giving illustrated diagrams to students who listened to a physics lecture boosted performance on a follow-up test by 70%, compared to peers who listened to the lecture with no visual aids.

3. BE MULTIMODAL: Relying on multiple sensory pathways encodes learning material more effectively—leading to more durable memories.

Provide multiple ways for students to learn by pairing a written or verbal lesson w/ pictures or diagrams, for example.

Metacognitive Qs provide students with a template for interrogating new material. Embed questions like these directly into new assignments:

*What stands out to me about this new material?
*How does this connect with what I already know?
*What follow-up questions do I have?

2. ASK METACOGNITIVE QUESTIONS: When students encounter new material, it can feel like a flood, overloading their ability to process.

While external scaffolds provide valuable support, encourage students to develop their own strategies for managing novel information.

Visual hierarchy matters. The *thoughtful* use of underlining, highlighting, and arrows to call attention to crucial ideas can boost student retention by 36 percent, a 2020 study suggests.

Don’t overdo it, though. Spotlight only what is absolutely necessary and useful.
