“The most effective teachers ensured that their students efficiently acquired, rehearsed, and connected background knowledge because this knowledge is necessary for skillful problem solving and critical thinking.” B. Rosenshire
As a special education teacher, I have worked primarily with students who are not learning the way they need to learn in the classroom. These kids CAN and DO learn but they often need more retrieval practice of taught skills, more modelling, scaffolded instruction, practice & feedback, as well as more opportunities to practice each skill that’s been taught.
However, this is basically just good instruction and it should be the way ALL students are taught! If we use evidence-based instructional practices in every classroom, maybe we’d have fewer kids labeled as “spec-ed”.

ASL educators are the unsung heroes of inclusive communication.
I recently teamed up with the amazing Mick Posner, an ASL teacher, to sign popular teen slang—and it was both fun and powerful. From “fried” to “you ate,” we showed how ASL evolves with language and culture.
Why do other countries continue to out perform the 🇺🇸 in education? It has a lot to do with the fact that they value education and educators so much more than we do.
This is such a valuable, time-saving resource to use with our colleagues ! Thank you so much, @KyleNiemis, for your obvious hard-work and dedication! Looking forward to sharing these PD treats with the AES staff. @cel578
Answer getting should not be the only goal of math class because there are too many ways to get answers with no learning happening.

I feel that by not explicitly teaching and mastering essential study skills from an early (upper elem) stage we are doing our students a disservice. OG study skills are tools that enable success in the edu setting, and beyond to their prof. and personal life. #JustSaying
🎯 Teaching content is one thing—helping students retain it is another.

Games are so important in math class. They create experiences with a low cost of failure. Students are encouraged to take risks, be creative, and be strategic.

Spicy take: circulating the classroom is one of the most overrated techniques around. It's often the wrong option and frequently leads to poor / lazy behaviour.
💥 Fraction Tiles are an excellent visual to help students understand dividing a whole number by a unit fraction!
