Bro casually dropped the best definition of DISCIPLINE:

[Peps @PepsMccrea]

In many ways, teachers are 'orchestrators of attention'.

When we do this well, not only do we help students learn but we level the playing field...

🎓 New study on the effects of teacher posture

→ Upright, open postures seen as more enthusiastic
→ Slumped, closed postures perceived as less competent
→ Posture impacts student interest and motivation

(FYI study done online but I'd bet it still holds true in the classroom)

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

You build relationships by developing a shared sense of how we expect to behave with one another, and how we value one another. It’s not magic. It doesn’t happen just because we really, really care about them, although we must. It happens because we *demonstrate* that care through our behaviour, and our expectations for their behaviour.

For anyone looking at adaptive teaching, @AlexJQuigley provides a fantastic framework for establishing adaptations through scaffolds, scale, structure and style.

Study on impact of learning style stereotyping on students:

→ Visual learners seen as more intelligent
→ Hands-on learners thought to excel in PE & art
→ Biases in both parent and teacher perceptions

Recognising such biases is crucial for fostering more inclusive schooling.

[Jamie Clark @XpatEducator]

Scaffolding Think, Pair, Share can help facilitate deep discussions and drive thinking from ALL students. This handy resource is designed to help students master the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of the process. Just one of the bonus freebies I shared in today’s ‘Cognitive Science in Education Conference’. Thanks to @JohnCattEd for hosting.
