Academics can be counted on to make the most melodramatic case against evidence-based teaching. An academic specializing in “embodied learning” (??) laments ‘soul destroying’ explicit instruction movement. “Explicit teaching mandates and scripted lessons… are part of a

This is a great read. You should all follow Ms Sam.

I want to help teachers work smarter, not harder. Too many teachers are spinning their wheels and feeling like they’re not making progress with their students. Or, sometimes, like me, I feel like we’re moving backwards… That’s why I rely on well-respected researchers like

Mathematics.

In the 2000’s, England was slipping badly in international rankings for both reading and math. Today, it’s 4th in the world in reading, and rising swiftly in math. What did England do? ✅ Mandated phonics in early grades curriculum ✅ Shifted to a knowledge-centered

🚨 New episode! 🚨I get a lot of questions about universal screening in math. I invited Amanda VanDerHeyden Amanda VanDerHeyden back to the podcast to tell us all about & explain what makes a good screener, and why it matters. Listen here ➡️ podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/cha…

This episode is so timely, as we are thinking about universal math screeners for next year. Great stuff!

Yaaaaaaaaay

There’s so much here I’ll definitely be revisiting this! Screening should be efficient, predictive, and, of course, acted upon with targeted interventions. I’m sending this one to the elementary math specialist on campus.

The most common teaching mistakes are things like: presenting too much not enough practice not gathering responses moving on too quickly not securing attention no examples I’m struck by how much attention we devote in education to stuff that distracts from these fundamentals.
