The Architecture of Teaching & Learning (ATL)
This document discusses principles for effective teaching and learning. It outlines the RIGOR framework which stands for retrieval, interleaving, generation, organization, and reflection. Each component is described in one to two sentences. Retrieval involves regularly testing yourself to reinforce learning. Interleaving means mixing different subject matters to find connections. Generation means explaining concepts in your own words. Organization is creating mental models to structure information. Reflection looks back on what worked and how to improve. The document advocates for making learning an active, effortful process through these techniques.

The researchers were wrong. The commonalities proved less useful than the differences.

(assess context) • feels slower, so it’s unpopular, seldom used • sleep enables memory consolidation (spaced practice)

And I’d love your help! intertwingled.org/planning-book/ Like search, planning is a literacy that’s not taught in school. Yet, it’s a key to success in life and work. We plan for births, weddings, careers, retirements, and deaths. We plan events, trips, projects, and systems. We do it all the time, but we make the same mistakes.
