Teachers have been asked to do the impossible for years. Too often, they’re left to figure out instructional materials on their own. @natwexler dives into the Calkins debate and the bigger picture of what’s really holding students back—and why teachers need better support.

The “switch cost effect” is a big challenge in schools/culture today! Every time students switch from learning to checking their phones, they lose focus, making it harder to engage and retain information. #FreeToFocus #EIE24

[S.C. Department of Education @EducationSC]

Following final approval by State Board of Education of a statewide model cell phone policy Tuesday, the SCDE has launched ‘Free to Focus SC’.

This will serve as a one-stop shop for educators, parents, and students as they begin a school environment without digital distractions.

In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn.

In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise.

Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.
