After reading Responsive Coaching, I finally got my hands on Steplab today and refined my entry routine. Love how it breaks things into precise, actionable steps, like craning the neck to scan in & out of the room. A small tweak, big impact. Josh Goodrich

This is next on my list! Only had to fly over to NYC to get it 😁 Gene Tavernetti

Clearing out my Google Drive and noticing that my largest files are all the prerecorded lessons I made back during the pandemic in 2020. I rewatched a few. What a poignant reminder.

My newest read! More to come on how I’m using this and some amazing coaching from Gene Tavernetti to improve my lessons.

🚨🚨NEW PAPER ON INCLUSIVE TEACHING ...that I've been working (pretty intensely) on for the last few months. Details below: ↓

3.1 I used to hyper-focus on every student’s individual needs based on a few assessments. But in doing so, I watered down my teaching. Embracing cognitive similarity in group instruction can actually lead to clearer, more effective learning for all.

Jake Yup. Teaching is interesting because students are so different. It's only possible because they are so similar.

It’s tempting to “round up” when it comes to the accuracy of answers. A student responds incorrectly and the feedback is, “well, that’s one way to do it.” It seems empathetic, but you end up embedding misconceptions, and the rest of the class benefits from individual corrections.

Carl Hendrick Dylan Wiliam Daniel Willingham The latter is helpful for teachers, as novice students often work with surface knowledge that’s weakly connected, prone to misconceptions, & ripe for forgetting. It reminds us a well sequenced curriculum may better organise what is taught but is no guarantee of what is learned!

ICYMI: When people think about instruction that meets the diverse needs of students, they don’t often think about whole-class instruction and textbooks. And yet, they are a key part of our strategy and the data indicates we are doing differentiation better than any other school.

The greatest chart in the history of education. Study it forever.

My latest Stack: A learning model that shows how memory and environment work together and reflects how children truly learn in EYFS and Primary. Thank you to oliver caviglioli for the guidance! buff.ly/1xm9DLJ

Much child-#screentime damage goes unnoticed until too late: brain shrinkage, severed brain connectivity, diminished reasoning and creativity, failure in college, inability to hold a job, higher risk for aggressive/criminal behaviors, heart disease, diabetes, & more. #Screenfree.

Jake Sean Morrisey That’s the way to do it! Embed it so they use it frequently and fluently and those words are locked in forever.

A research-informed recap for busy primary educators. Here's what you might have missed in May from my Substack. buff.ly/Gbbjd1N
