Facials? Love 'em. Peels? Yes, please. But throw in the word wedding, and the whole idea of creating a pre-wedding day regimen becomes confusing and downright intimidating. Suddenly, the pressure of doing everything according to the "correct" timeline so that our skin won't go rogue on us is more than we can bear.

 One of the best ways to recharge your business this summer is to reintroduce yourself. Reach out by email or in a letter to anyone and everyone you need to know — and who needs to know you — and bring them up to date about what’s new and noteworthy about your business and yourself. Traditionally, business owners used a reintroduction letter when they reinvented themselves, shifted their focus or changed their business model. But the letter also serves to revive sagging sales and boost the bottom line.

Untangling education research can often feel overwhelming, which may be why many research-based practices take a long time to show up in real classrooms. It could also be one reason John Hattie's work and book, Visible Learning, appeals to so many educators.

How can you tell if a student really understands something?
