Thanks, for sharing this Tony. I would say that they still are!  The work continues and teachers and students continue to benefit from and make remarkable gains as a result. We are the best adovocates/cheerleaders for this work.

This from the book Range.  The SIM creators were way ahead of their time!

Drawing on studies by cognitive psychologists and educators, Epstein examines how knowledge develops and, equally important, how it is assessed. He distinguishes between teaching strategies that emphasize repeated practice, leading to “excellent immediate performance” on tests, and “interleaving,” an approach that develops inductive reasoning, in which students “learn to create abstract generalizations that allow them to apply what they learned to material they have never encountered before.”
