Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.

Here are this week’s picks:
Self-explanation is a powerful learning technique, according to meta-analysis of 64 studies involving 6000 participants is from BPS Research Digest. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About The Value Of “Self-Explanation”
Retrieval Practice – the what, why and how of (ahem) total recall is from Behavior Buddy. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Retrieval Practice.
When Am I Ever Going to Use This? is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Ideas For Helping Students Connect Lessons To Their Interests & The World.
Performance Assessment: 4 Best Practices is from Ed Week. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Performance Assessment.
RockEDU is a new resource for science education.
The Learning Power of Cliffhangers & Link-Ups is from Middleweb.
The biggest complaint I hear from students is; “when will I ever use this” or “how does this apply to me?” Having the resource When Am I Ever Going to Use This? is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Ideas For Helping Students Connect Lessons To Their Interests & The World is amazing. It really is going to help me make those real world connections for my students.
