While critics paint explicit teaching as boring or uninspiring, the truth is that its structure, pace, and design motivate kids better than any other system. Here is my first post in a series about motivation. This one is about: momentum and perky pace educationrickshaw.com/2025/07/01/dir…

Here’s Post #1: Pacing and Momentum educationrickshaw.com/2025/07/01/dir…

Isn’t this why we teach? So our Ss remember what was taught? Using evidence-informed principles & strategies lead to long-term memory retention! #PowerfulTeaching #PowerfulClassrooms

I struggle when I spend my summer learning about evidence-based practices in writing and math then I overhear a teacher say we need to spend 20 days on belonging and well-being and every Friday afternoon is movie day. We can focus on belonging and academics at the same time.

Episode 2, out today, might be even better than Episode 1! But you don't have to choose -- listen to both.

Literacy is more than reading, it’s understanding. History gives students the “why” behind the words. #HistoryMatters

Washing the dishes and listening to my newest audiobook. Definitely not skipping the preface Doug Lemov.

🚨Ep. 2 of the Knowledge Matters Campaign Podcast has us thinking about what we learned in school like: ➗dividing fractions + 🗺️world capitals 🔎Why do we seem to “forget” some things? Dylan Wiliam explains how memory, recall, and learning are intertwined. 🪢 🔗 bit.ly/3Gqv6yX

Season 3 is at top level and absolutely on topic that I had to listen to season one and two that focus on reading. A must listen for everyone who teaches language or novels. Already pre-ordered The Science of Reading by Doug Lemov to install all of this next school year.
