Teachers have been sold a story about math that goes like this: math involves struggle because mathematicians struggle with unknown problems. This is the three cuing of math. My very best math teaching effectively eliminated struggle by breaking math down so it felt easy.

I get that scripted lessons “strip teachers of their autonomy”, but what if they proved to be the most effective method of instruction? If teachers truly wanted to improve student learning, surely they’d sacrifice a bit of their autonomy to ensure their students’ success, right?

We are in our Curriculum Awakening Era, and you’d think states would be hustling to understand the curriculum used in each district and share it with the public. You would be wrong. I’m calling to change that ASAP, to support researchers and parents, alike. My latest article

In case you're wondering, THIS IS HOW YOU TEACH MATH! These students are refining their mental math capabilities and will be lightyears ahead of their peers once they hit high school. Being able to quickly calculate basic math functions not only builds skill, it builds

“…if the same funds were invested in four-and five-year-olds, that are spent on interventions for the 2/3 of third graders who have not learned to read proficiently, a lot of anguish, sadness, and later costs could be avoided.” TRUTH from Dr. Jeannine Herron Neuropsychologist
