Exactly. šŸ’Æ As a special educator, I know explicit instruction isn’t ā€œsit and getā€ā€”it’s modeling, guided practice, checking for understanding, and ensuring mastery. The research backs it. Don’t blame the method—learn the method. šŸ”šŸ“š #ExplicitInstruction #EvidenceBased

ā€œI don’t think that if I live to be eighty, I’m going to wish I’d spent more hours in the gym or kept my house a lot cleaner. I’m going to wish I had swum more unashamedly, made more mistakes, spaced out more, rested….So this informs how I live now.ā€ ~ANNE LAMOTT

Dr. Archer’s approach reminds us that effective teaching isn’t flashy- it’s deliberate. Clarity. Support. Independence.

Thanks for this post LSG ! Sadly there is a lotta ā€œsizzleā€ and not much ā€œsteakā€ at some PD events. My current work encourages video instructional coaches to video their coaching conference and working with their coach identify a specific/actionable goal to work on!

The encroaching adoption of AI in education presents some interesting questions to us. Why do we put children through school? If you think it’s ’to jump through hoops and get certificates’ then you’ll believe it should be used as much as possible. If you believe ā€˜it’s to learn
