"...without any reinforcement or connections to prior knowledge, information is quickly forgotten—roughly 56% in one hour.."

YIKES! How can teachers use this to assist their instruction?

Our brains are wired to forget, but there are research-backed strategies you can use to make your teaching stick.🧠

We get so little time. Our instruction, our words, and our actions have to be intentional and impactful.

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Adults at school,
We get 1 pass thru today with our kids. Only 1. We don't get it back.

How will we use this 1 chance for intentional impact today?

Also, how will we use our reactions to make positive impact?

There's only 1 today.
Make it count.

Beginning Teachers at @River_Bend_MS had an amazing and busy first week #ElevatingExcellence. Students and teachers collaborated, built relationships, and rigorously interacted with curriculum. @WCPSSTSP

UDL isn't something you "do" as much as the way you approach planning.

Approach planning through the lens of UDL by asking,
❔What is the clear goal?
❔What is one barrier that would prevent students from reaching the goal?

🍎Fill pyramid with content
🍎Add time limit if you want

Here's the basic shift we need to make in the simplest way I can say it.

Instead of asking:
"What am I going to teach today?"

Ask this.

"How will I design class to produce evidence of learning?"

That's how we start to change Tier 1 instruction.
Learning is the job.

Math + Reading = Success

✔️Intentional reading instruction and strategies during math!!

"Tired of playing the grade game, I wanted to find a way to make learning the focus in the classroom, not grading. So, I set off to find and chase better, which I thought meant better grading, but really it's been about finding better learning."

Just posting a Learning Target won't affect Learning just as putting a hammer on top of a pile of lumber won't build a house.

Both are tools needing to be put to use.

Learning Targets affect other influences totaling 11 years of potential growth.
