It was a privilege and honour to have a preview of this amazing book before it was published and all I can say is THANK YOU Christopher Such! This is the exact book we need right now in education! Like a layered cake, this book is the second (and third and forth layers) we need after

Having a sense of urgency is what defines great schools and school districts. It separates the talkers from the doers. Urgency is focus. It's about identifying what matters most, identifying key objectives. eliminating barriers , and keeping you eyes on the North Star Metric.

A good Read Aloud allows students to access a text well beyond what they can read on their own, enabling them to familiarize themselves with more complex vocabulary, rhythm, and patterns of syntax. More here: teachlikeachampion.org/blog/the-power…

One of the ten best articles on reading ever written. And an answer to the recently resurfaced, tendentious "debate" over whether knowledge-building works vs. "reading strategies."

Lots of first time attendees researchED US today. If you're also new to this work, I recommend Tom Sherrington’s excellent Rosenshine’s Principles in Action as your primer. Its at the book table.

Loved the mental model for prior knowledge activation and this connecting question: “How can I invite my students to see that these concepts share the same underlying structure, even though they might appear different on the surface?” Dr. Jim Heal researchED US #rEDNYC

THIS is equity. Giving all students an opportunity to succeed by using evidence-based instructional practices. Newcomers. High-achieving students. They all benefit from the science of learning. Love to see it!

Effective Tier 1 instruction is primary prevention. Are you reaching roughly 80% of your students with strong, evidence-aligned core reading instruction? What does Tier 1 look like in your class, school, or board? Let’s build the Tier 1 our students need! #LitLearn2025 Stephanie Stollar

As a literacy teacher, I am VERY familiar with the #MTSS model and 3-tiers of instruction and have learned so much about it from Stephanie Stollar . But why aren’t we learning how to use the #MTSS model to prevent student failure in mathematics, too? It’s time we use evidence-based

“The problem [is] a misunderstanding of how memory actually works. When we memorise multiplication tables or vocabulary words, we're not just storing isolated facts, we're building structured knowledge that enables mathematical intuition and sophisticated reasoning. These aren't

Starting next week I'll be co-hosting the Knowledge Matters Campaign podcast w Dylan Wiliam & Natalie Wexler, pursuing topics on how the science of learning can better guide literacy instruction. I'm VERY excited 📅 New episodes drop here: knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/ pic.x.com/sODTikxgYy
