Memorizing multiplication tables is a fundamental skill -- like learning phonics. If students aren't fluent in math facts, they'll struggle with higher math.

@JoanneLeeJacobs @DavidMarguliesM @MichaelPetrilli @rastokke @DTWillingham @rickhess99 I wish memorization wasn’t so demonized the last several years. Depth of Knowledge levels have made it look useless when it actually allows for fluency because kids don’t have to think about the facts as they are second nature.

When one student disrupts the entire class daily, it’s not just a discipline issue, it’s a theft of education from the other 25 kids.

Inclusion shouldn’t mean sacrificing everyone’s learning.

3 Things Leaders Should Not Be Doing https://t.co/3smuqDWSML

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

1. The less you share, the less likely people will be in your business.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

One of the main things we get wrong with kids in the modern age is, as Jonathan Haidt points out, we give them too much freedom in the digital world and not enough in the real world.

It’s one of those statements that hits as profound truth the second you read it.

[North Landesman @MrLandesman]

Teachers should get consistent professional development on curriculum, content knowledge, and classroom management.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

It’s good to have fun at work… practical jokes, inside jokes, corny jokes, music, shenanigans, hijinks, tomfoolery, silliness… and lots of laughing.  Colleagues that have fun together, work hard together.  And ultimately, it’s a good culture in which students can learn.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Every kid you teach loves something.  They are interested in something.  They are nervous about something.  They are good at something.  I wonder what that something is.

[Principal Project @PrincipalProj]

This one goes out to every leader looking to reach higher in the new year! 💫
