@rastokke This is amazing! Thank you.

We want to believe that technology is a neutral container for ideas. It isn’t. It changes the way we think and engage with content.

Leading change in schools is hard. But learning from the best makes it easier. Fidelity, low variance, content that builds the knowledge, evidence based practice, not to mention Facts on Fire. Trip to Windsor was invaluable. @brian_poncy @Smithre5 @BrunoReddyMaths @DaveMorkunas

We're having an impact: Gold Coast Council are starting to feel some pain. "Pressure mounts on Aussie council over $1.5 billion Trump Tower as residents have 'deep concerns'". We now have 95K signatures on the petitions, but we can go much higher. https://t.co/XlgygiYDC5

Technology is a tool, not a teacher. The cognitive architecture for reading was built for print. When countries with historically strong literacy systems begin recalibrating toward books and handwriting, we should pay attention. Our students are not under-exposed to screen, they are cognitively saturated by them.

Finland has recently shifted emphasis back toward:
• Printed textbooks
• Reduced device use in early grades
• Stronger handwriting instruction
• Limits on smartphone use during the school day

The rationale cited by Finnish leaders centers on:
• Declining reading scores (PISA trends)
• Attention concerns
• Overestimation of digital benefits

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION IN MATHEMATICS
When I moved into primary teaching, I thought the problem was engagement.
I believed if I made maths fun enough, students would learn.
Turns out, they didn’t need more glitter, they needed clarity.
This new guide explains the exact approach that changed how I teach maths.
Show. Support. Step Back.

This is the guide that I wish I had when I first started teaching maths👇

This. We are working so hard to give challenging texts and vocabulary to all learners, to then be undermined by those who still don’t get that differentiation happens through support and instruction, not by limiting student capability to what we think they are capable of. 🙏 Pam

Say it louder for those in the back.

When my kids were little, they would sometimes want to cross the street without holding my hand. I never let them, no matter the pouting, the displeasure, or the frustration, because it wasn’t safe, and it wasn’t what was best for them.

In education, too often, children’s feelings about learning and curriculum are treated as the driving force. Part of the reason many students struggle with sustained attention in school is that, from an early age, we’ve prioritized entertainment over effort, putting engagement ahead of learning.

Please don’t misunderstand me, I know we can make learning enjoyable for kids, and I am not proposing that we torture them with unengaging lessons. But learning and growth sometimes will require us, including kids, to persevere, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when we don’t “feel like it.” Education is not about immediate gratification; it’s about building skills, understanding, and resilience that last a lifetime, and part of that is teaching kids that sometimes learning is its own reward and that they can do hard things.
