@neilmosley5 I’ve witnessed the consequences of leadership being booked to the point of scheduling 5:00 meetings on Fridays and only replying 1-4 words per email. Messaging to staff can be inconsistent and decisions are changed regularly resulting in low morale. Great read!

How to boost learning: ask questions! #SMU622 #formativeassessment

With so much accelerated learning planned for the coming school year, some teachers are digging deep into cognitive research to find ways for students to learn new material faster.

@Thorntonteach Great article! Learner success shouldn’t hinge upon teacher approval - educators modeling and encouraging self-awareness will build natural, positive feedback loops. #SMU622

@GloriaZak2 Thanks for sharing, Gloria! Inclusivity in digital teaching benefits all learners! #SMU622

Being a digital citizen shouldn’t be about following a list of “Don’ts,” but rather practicing critical thinking and questioning #SMU622

A handy guide listing criteria (beyond theoretical foundations) to assess learning design models - including backward design! #SMU622

@TLightfoot07 I like how the author invites students to practice their “detective” skills at the beginning of class using actual scams - a relevant way to practice critical thinking & questioning! #SMU622

[Natalie Nisk @_natsku_]

This is part of why minimizing cognitive overload in learning design is so important! #SMU622

As explained in Uncommon Sense Teaching, we can think of information as a collection of balls. Information is kept alive in “working memory,” a temporary mental storage space, by focusing on or repeating ideas.

@kmoonmath What a great way to normalize mistakes as opportunities to learn, rather than personal failings.

[Natalie Nisk @_natsku_]

@misslawless4c What a great way to establish enduring understanding, as well as a firm “why” for learners! #SMU622

I did this as a lead therapist at a program for kiddos with autism. I found it helped achieve a success-oriented mindset for both staff, students, and caregivers, and fostered a trusting relationship with families #SMU622

[edutopia @edutopia]

Rather than calling or emailing parents about grades, try giving them updates about the skills their child is mastering.

@misslawless4c I prefer the TPACK model, but I think SAMR might be easier to visualize and integrate into established lesson plans. #SMU622

Self-advocacy: a natural progression from engagement, reflection, and self-evaluation? #SMU622

[edutopia @edutopia]

When teachers provide self-advocacy tools for their students, that investment builds confidence and encourages student voice.

“Spiral learning” and “equifinality” - adult learning parallels to UbD’s Enduring Understandings? #ldt620 #SMU622

[edutopia @edutopia]

Administrators must make sure that “professional learning is not one-size-fits-all and that experiences are co-created with teacher voice.”

What a great way to engage *all* of your learners! #SMU622

This simple, yet powerful instructional strategy encourages all students to participate. Thumbs up! 👍 #HowLearningHappens
