@Christyn_Ken05 Testing

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@blocht574 It’s not worth a test grade, but teachers efforts to encourage “first educators” (parents) will do almost anything to get some support in achieving learning objectives.

@MrDixonMath Used this program to teach my four children to read. Exceptional program….superb results.

@9thEvermore @HSG_UT John, it would be interesting to connect on research questions and methodologies to better understand the ways Teacher Leaders positively impact student learning, improve schools, improve curricula etc. Let’s Zoom visit. [email protected]

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@9thEvermore @HSG_UT If you were interested in pursuing the value that students come in contact with, and receive a value add from their “teacher leader” teachers start by listing the value adds you hope they experience. From there, search the literature to see what we know and don’t know.

@votereale @UTPublicEd Impressive indeed! Respectfully recognized, it’s not the costly behavior that’s important, but the valuable outputs that we must recognize. In the case of education, it’s the return on learning investment that’s valuable.

@plcEvangelist Please define guaranteed and viable. We don’t get what we want by just getting rid of what we don’t want.

@NicoleWesterby do have an email for your uncle Loren?

@StallionCornell A powerful and useful talk for anyone of faith, or without a faith…just a human being.

@Ben_SpringerUT Is it maximally, even optimally useful when accompanied by neuropsych battery? True or False?

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@Joleighhoney @yaymath Everything?

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@Ben_SpringerUT

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@Ben_SpringerUT Nope…science extends incrementally…sometimes in large leaps…hypothesis x tested hypothesis….not extended by so called side show, creative actions. This a great read and gets at how science moves.

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@Ben_SpringerUT I am supportive of creative responses within evaluative frameworks to quantify their impact, while assessing return on investment. As an empiricist…not very supportive of untethered, creativity or innovation…tether them to improvement and ROI.

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@gopTODD Displayed data suggest a learning system that has not yet learned to learn from the product of its actions…spending is an action. Misguided actions will always lead us away from improvement…only intelligent spending can leverage continuous improvement

[David Forbush @DavidForbush1]

@TeachGlobalEd Two functions…perhaps more. Teacher- backward design to the standard or objective. Student - can’t hit an unpainted target. Students should know where we want them…and be able to reasonably self direct in the process of getting there.
