Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 32:19

Most teachers know AI can create lesson plans, quizzes, and parent emails—but those obvious uses barely scratch the surface.

You'll also discover how the new AI Prompt Library inside ALL ACCESS helps teachers find uses for AI they may never have considered—and provides ready-to-customize prompts so you can skip the blank box and get straight to solving the problem in front of you.

Powerful Teaching: 4 Research-Based Strategies That Help Learning Stick

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 21:24

#255: Some of the study strategies your students rely on most- rereading notes, highlighting, cramming the night before- actually give them a false sense of learning.

In this episode, I'm breaking down four research-based strategies from the book Powerful Teaching by Pooja Agarwal and Patrice Bain that help learning actually stick, not just look like it stuck in the moment.

⭐ Get the book: Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning

⭐ Join the Powerful Teaching Book Study (starts September 23)

In this episode:

The difference between encoding, storage, and retrieval, and why familiarity can fake you out into thinking students have learned something
Power Tool #1: Retrieval Practice, low-stakes ways to get students pulling information from memory instead of just rereading it
Power Tool #2: Spacing, why cramming works short-term and fails long-term, and simple ways to bring old learning back
Power Tool #3: Interleaving, mixing related concepts so students have to decide which strategy applies instead of following a pattern
Power Tool #4: Feedback-Driven Metacognition, helping students get honest about what they actually know versus what just feels familiar
A one-move classroom challenge you can try tomorrow, no new app, no prep
