1. Competency-Based Learning
Charting Your Confident Path to Meaningful Technology IntegrationHelp students level up by showing what they know—not how long they've sat.
2. Intro to Retrieval Practices
Activating Memory for Deeper, Lasting LearningStop re-reading. Start remembering.
3. Rethinking Collaboration
Designing Purposeful Group Work for Deeper Engagement and SkillsGroup work isn't just task-splitting. Real collaboration means students co-construct meaning—and build skills that last.
4. Diving Into Deep Learning
Empowering Students for Real-World Problem Solving and Lasting UnderstandingHelping students remember facts is fine—but helping them use those facts to solve real problems? That's deeper learning.
5. Formative Assessment 101
Quick Checks for Real-Time Learning GainsFormative assessment is a dynamic feedback loop that connects teaching to learning. It works like a classroom radar, sending out quick signals to help you map where students are and adjust your course instantly to keep every learner on track.
What you'll walk away with
Apply core learning science principles (retrieval practice, spacing, cognitive load, desirable difficulties) to lesson design
Design competency-based tasks that make mastery visible to both students and teacher
Integrate formative assessment loops that adjust instruction based on real-time evidence of student understanding
Structure high-impact collaboration that deepens — not replaces — individual thinking
Work through the snacks — short, evidence-based lessons that build your understanding. Each one gives you research, a classroom connection, and one thing to try or discuss.
Test your understanding in a low-stakes mini-experiment before you bring it to your classroom. Leverage our downloadable materials to support you in your teaching and classroom practice and let us know how it goes!
For credit towards an Accingo Course certificate, try something from this series in your own classroom, then complete a short, structured reflection on what you learned and what you would bring to your PLC and/or regular practice. You will see "Application Artifact" if required.
