Latest Report - on Learning Loss: U.S. study by @CurriculumAssoc confirms that most kids are in "deep trouble" in the wake of the pandemic disruption. Remote learning was a disaster for kids who struggle in reading and math #learningloss

Bad advice. This kind of thing leads to teachers thinking they shouldn’t speak, or all student talk is valuable. But expert instruction *should* involve a lot of teacher talk. Learning often involves listening. And this is why we don’t train teachers with inspirational quotes.

I don't fully agree with this piece, but this aside about the direction of modern education is very well-observed. https://t.co/geUeORcnLe

Important reminder! 🙌

Ouch. Ausubel was utterly brutal on discovery learning.

References to 'Learning Styles' need to be removed from syllabi, PD, surveys, lesson plans — and our IEPs. This is not only an embarrassment but lends credibility to this myth, creating a new crop of believers every year.

I have been trying to argue less and less with people. Not because I am not passionate about evidence based practices. But because, I think people have to be ready to hear your perspective. I don’t think telling people they’re wrong always leads to them feeling open to change.

When children learn to read after years of failure, major changes in behaviour, motivation and mood follow. Read more in our latest blog ‘Learning to Read – what started going right?’ https://t.co/mLBLn3TfkX (7 min read).

This is truth! 🙌

The pressure we put on kids to take a dozen APs, participate in sports, pursue extracurriculars, all in the hopes of getting them into college, encourages a level of narcissism not seen before in human history. https://t.co/BMcjQedIKI via @commentary @AEI @IWF @rpondiscio

This! 🙌

It's important to elevate the voices of those who are actually doing the work. I haven't been in a classroom in 6 years. My experience is not as relevant as those still there. I need to acknowledge that. And listen.

Maybe I’ll just have my students write their essays using ChatGPT.

I’ll have ChatGPT grade the essays.

And we’ll just play games in class until someone catches on. 🤷‍♂️

There is no such thing as an expert in education… people may have experience but they aren’t experts.

Absolutely everyone gets destroyed by ‘that class’ the first time round whether they have been teaching 2 minutes or 20 years.

Stay humble.

Each 100 min spent using [a smartphone]...on avg corresponded to a
reduction in a student's...ranking of 6.3 points, Moreover, if we consider usage during class time only the effect was almost twice as high. The magnitude of the effect found is alarming.
