@DalrympleWill Prof Dalrymple, I really appreciate your historical work. Just a heads up about this X account: there are multiple sources saying this is a fake/parody account. A few minutes of lateral reading seems to challenge the credibility of this particular source.
@MatthewJBusch If anything, this conversation is complex, which is not how the author approaches it #irony. Perhaps if he was asked to advance a nuanced argument that involved qualifying or modifying his line of reasoning, he would be in better shape. /end
@MatthewJBusch A #whapchat student would likely be in a class where they practiced examining the purpose of an author, which might be to undermine AP classes in order to encourage students across the country to avoid college credit for AP classes so they will take college intro classes. 1/
@MatthewJBusch If AP classes didn’t exist, would these students be better off in core English lit? Or dual enrollment where they get credit but with less consistency in standards? I don’t know the answer to either question, but a strong argument would address these issues. 2/
@MatthewJBusch I’m honestly not sure if you’re on team nod or team aneurism. I definitely don’t focus on dates, but no dates ever seems a bit extreme. Perhaps this fine platform doesn’t dabble in nuance as often as one would like 😂
@MatthewJBusch Me: this really sounds like it’s going to be a Rickroll. Also me: I’ll still click on the link because Matt probably does know how to guarantee complexity success, so maybe it’s legit 😂🤦♂️
@MatthewJBusch @cultofpedagogy 2) students see for themselves that the goal isn't to "do the reading" -- the goal is to acquire content knowledge that they can use. I talk a lot in class about "deploying" the content in service of an argument, and the bell work retrieval practice helps reinforce that. /end
I've been using daily retrieval practices in my AP World classes and students really see the positive effects! They have asked that we do them more consistently. #whapchat
This month we're celebrating our most noteworthy papers of season 4!
Check out 051, with a research review of when and how retrieval practice benefits students. Spoiler: pretty much always!
Great work from @RetrieveLearn!

@MatthewJBusch @cultofpedagogy I think this works for several reasons -- 1) It's amazing quick feedback for me. I see who didn't write anything down and can follow up with that student to figure out why. I know when students really didn't understand a concept. I can pivot with that information in class 7/
