@RaquelMTeaches Classics turned into graphic novels — a low res (low info/page) waste of students’ time. The learning opportunity cost is to too high .
@crobertsbmw Nice! Like to add to our book prizes at our Math Science Challenge Events. A local EE prof wrote a book on binary code adoro elementary school kids (https://t.co/a5XjMiUDxH)
but there are very few books like this
@kareem_carr I found the book when I was 21, I thought I knew how to read but I realized I hadn’t even begun to learn… We need to focus more as educators on building expert (syn-topical) Readers. Learning to read is great, but reading to learn is the goal! https://t.co/Vt5Us65jD3
NEW: Jo Boaler of Stanford is the most influential math-education expert in the country. She’s helping draft a framework for how California should teach math. But critics say her claims don’t always add up.

After 8 years as Idaho’s State Superintendent of Education, Sherri Ybarra will return to the classroom next month to teach kindergarten. https://t.co/5XrKiOOF0K
@NateJoseph19 A large study, a very large study, can help aver out the schools that botch implementation. But that brings up the expense part -only large companies, as you say, can pull that off. Btw, my take is ST Math is a good example of rigorous perfect size studies. Agree? Great video,thx
@plcEvangelist “Great school” = i. high student retention; ii. low teacher turnover; & iii. high math/reading scores. There’s never been a great school w/ high teacher turnover. How to make teachers happy?
“Teachers are happy when students are happy; students are happy when they’re _learning_.”
@ErvingY5@michellred@ReadingShanahan “frontloading vocabulary and concepts…” = “Word Power First” Seminars— Online in the Activated Reader lab, then hands-on in seminars, research, and writing projects. https://t.co/CJGHodnHbS
