Unlike the Philadelphia school district, which won’t bring back 10th to 12th graders this school year, the Mastery charter network has tried to bring back as many students as possible in all grades in its 18 schools across the city. #PHLed https://t.co/PLfEGQqTfh
Two random ideas for ending/reducing math acceleration in K-12 schools:
- change university requirements (this recently happened with SAT/ACT scores)
- rename high school math classes
Here are my thoughts on both.
It's doable! But to teach executive function to teens, we need to link the skills to purpose and autonomy—and integrate them deeply into classroom routines so they're indispensable to student success. The research in my latest for @edutopia. https://t.co/iihBrAH8BK
One example of how to implement this is to reduce or eliminate accelerating mathematics in the middle school. Spend time there on problem solving and going deeply instead of teaching multiple courses in one year just to get to Calculus faster.
If you talk about problems 80% of the time and solutions 20% of the time, you’re a tsunami of energy sucking negativity.

Too many leaders are so sure of themselves that they reject worthy opinions and ideas from others — and refuse to abandon their own bad ones. https://t.co/6qo6Zo0LD5
