Simply put:
When I plan to teach, I'm focused on what I will be saying, instructing, assigning, & assessing.
But when I design for learning, I'm focused on what learners will be discussing, engaging with, creating evidence for, self-assessing.
Learning isn't about me.

With some parents using tablets as digital pacifiers to soothe their children, a new study finds preschoolers who spend 75 minutes or more in front of a screen showed increased anger and frustration as they got older, along with difficulties in regulating their emotions.
Scaffolding Think, Pair, Share can help facilitate deep discussions and drive thinking from ALL students. This handy resource is designed to help students master the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of the process. Just one of the bonus freebies I shared in today’s ‘Cognitive Science in Education Conference’. Thanks to @JohnCattEd for hosting.
We're ☘️lucky☘️ to have so many National Treasures to share for the month of March!

School children in the U.S. often celebrate Thanksgiving by dressing up as pilgrims and “Indians.” But these traditions tend to perpetuate myths that are offensive to Native American communities. https://t.co/12ZxVEv1FX
