[Walkthrus @WALKTHRUs_5]

In the busy classroom, remembering to apply new practice from pedagogical training can feel hard and overwhelming. Teaching WalkThrus turn teaching techniques into easy to follow, 5 step visual guides. Meaning better teaching, step by step.

This first week back was a very special one. During the month of December students were given the opportunity to complete 25 ALEKs lessons. If they did, they got a pie of their choice. We made 28 house visits between yesterday and today. #RVP @FCPSMaryland

“Why can’t they remember it?”

Maybe their working memory was overloaded.

Learn how to design teaching that reduces strain and boosts recall.

Why does a negative times a negative equal a positive?

[Anna Stokke @rastokke]

Hard-hitting article by the amazing Barbara Oakley. "Our brains need practice & memorization to move facts & skills into long-term memory, freeing up mental space for genuine problem-solving...a student cannot reason deeply about mathematics w/o mult'n facts and algebraic methods made automatic through practice"

“Because, but, so” works not because it’s cute but because it aligns with how memory and understanding actually form.

Retrieval. Elaboration. Generation.
