This is one of my favorite techniques to help students improve their #IBEcon IAs.

Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩

Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.⁠

Humans are hardwired to forget. But these research-backed strategies can boost retention! 🧠 📈

A one-page summary of @teacherhead's Mode A and Mode B Teaching, @KateJones_teach RP strategies and other key ideas in cognitive science from @WALKTHRUs_5 and @olicav. Thanks to @evans_madeleine for the excellent T&L map idea. Please RT if you would like a copy.

The science of learning meets #econ. I have been waiting for this episode! #edchat #iBEcon

[Scott Wolla @scwolla]

The Teach Economics podcast is featured on the St. Louis Fed website. If you love to #TeachEcon, give it a listen -- this episode with @BillGoffe @penn_state and Andrew Butler @WUSTL is fantastic. https://t.co/tdZc7lSkhs

[Habits of Mind @habitsofmindllc]

Metacognition is the foundation for all 16 Habits of Mind. It is thinking about one’s thinking and is essential to the development of social and emotional intelligence.

This @ASCD article by Art Costa, @benakallick and @allison_zmuda expands on this.

As soon as we've learned something, we start to forget it. Here are 5 research-backed strategies you can use when you need to make something stick.

This is @claudeai01's first attempt at summarizing Paul Black's and my 1998 paper "Assessment and classroom learning"—pretty impressive in my view.

What a wonderful resource to share with Ss and parents. @SChewPsych is giving all Ts and Ss a gift with these study strategy videos. The more Ss know about how to study the more #agency they can take over their #learning. #edchat #cogsci

[Learning & the Brain @learningandtheb]

You'd like a series of videos on optimal studying strategies?

@SChewPsych has you covered:

@alicekeeler could not agree more. Grades should reflect Ss academic achievement and should never be punitive. @tguskey wrote in an excellent article recently where he said grades, when used correctly, can actually be another tool Ts can use to communicate feedback to Ss.

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Grading should not be punitive, but should instead encourage students to learn and grow. @tguskey #positivegrading #education

[Adam Pierce @PierceAdamj]

While some vilify grades, @tguskey makes excellent points and 4 conditions for using grades as feedback to learners. Of course, grades alone are not enough, but they can be part of a robust feedback system for Ss to use to promote #metacognition and academic growth. #assessment

[Thomas Guskey @tguskey]

Can grades be an effective form of feedback? Yes!
But only when used in the right way, at the right time, and for the right reasons!

[Solution Tree @SolutionTree]

The goal is to create a feedback system that is productive for both the teacher and the student. Here are some tips to help you begin the process!

How Peer Review Effectively Supports Student Writing. Peer review would wonderfully applies to the writing process for Ss crafting their #IBEcon internal assessment. It would be an excellent step in the process. https://t.co/EI3cPe73an #edchat #feedback #IBDP

[Adam Pierce @PierceAdamj]

Active Listening Builds #Belonging in Others. When we give Ss our attention, we can also promote #inclusion. We know that all of this can add up to #deeperlearning for Ss and more academic risk-taking. https://t.co/eD0qoP5shf via @CorwinPress #edchat

@makingoodhumans @AISMmoz @BranksomeHallA Good luck with the move. Can’t wait to hear about all the great things you do with the students at @BranksomeHallA
