I think we’ve totally missed the mark with the idea of “teaching the standards”. The standards are not a checklist— they are the end goal for the school year. There’s a lot of explicit instruction & purposeful practice that must take place before we can measure success!

🧵Part II: How to optimize intrinsic load Pre-teaching, segmentation, and sequencing are classic, well-known teaching strategies, not new or novel. What’s powerful is how CLT explains why they work. Knowing why a method works is just as important as knowing the method itself.

When we understand the cognitive science behind our methods, we make better instructional decisions, ones that actually support learning. There’s no shortage of tools in a teacher’s toolbox. The real question is: Which tool? When? And why?

Zach Groshell Did rehearsal as part of a PD session with teachers on routines this week. Teachers scripted a routine for their classroom. When we started rehearsal, it was interesting to note that they wanted to tell the partner teacher about the script vs actually practice the script.

I’ve long said that teachers should rely more on whole class feedback compared to individual feedback. Aka “batch feedback”, you circulate during work, you pull out what 80-100% needs to be working on, then pause and have a class discussion followed by students acting upon it.
