It’s obvious that schools need to teach grade-level content as outlined in the state’s curriculum descriptions. What’s less obvious is that schools sometimes need to teach beyond these descriptions so students can achieve future goals.

BREAKING: Senator Richard Blumenthal emerges ashen-faced from an Iran War briefing and reveals that he has never been so "angry" in his entire 15 career year in Senate.

And the details are jaw-dropping...

"I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate," he told reporters. "I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. However, my questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know."

According to The Washington Post, the United States burned through a staggering $5.6 billion in munitions in just the first two days of the illegal war. This is the same administration that insists that we don't have money for healthcare or social services.

"And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran," Blumenthal continued. "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran, putting in danger American lives."

"Literally, Russia seems to be aiding our enemy actively and intensively with intelligence and perhaps with other means. And China also may be assisting Iran," he continued.

"So the American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform, and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war, a war of choice made by this president, not chosen by the American people, with potentially huge consequences to American lives," the senator added.

That "war of choice" bit is particularly crucial. Trump launched this deadly, evil war on behalf of Israel despite Iran posing no immediate threat to the people of the United States. He's slaughtering men, women, and children and can't even articulate a coherent strategic goal. Meanwhile, he never bothered to get Congressional approval for the war as demanded by the Constitution and he's rapidly burning through our tax dollars.

The mere suggestion that we would put boots on the ground in Iran should horrify every American. In addition to being a morally reprehensible action, it would result in the greatest military disaster in U.S. history. Iran has a population of 93 million people, it's four times larger than Iraq and it's all mountains. Our brave soldiers would be walking into a slaughterhouse.

Please ❤️ and share to demand an end to the war!

One of my biggest frustrations in education is when I’m told to “meet students where they’re at.”🤦‍♀️

Instead, I prefer to “get students to where they need to be!”

Currently, there are massive achievement gaps in mathematics, and many teachers don’t have the support, resources, or time to catch up so many students and meet each of them “where they’re at” (Ex. I know of a Gr. 6 class of 28 with students working from K to grade 8 level!)

Having a math scope and sequence can help teachers identify students’ specific areas of need early on, know what interventions are required, and see exactly where students need to be by the end of grade level to ensure they’re prepared for the next grade level! Math is VERY cumulative and students NEED to master certain skills before they can move on to the next set of skills!!!

If we have a S&S in phonics, doesn’t it make sense to have a S&S in math? Huge thanks to @rastokke for sharing this amazing MIND S&S on her podcast website: https://t.co/fPOdWjewPL

"In less effective schools, the main strategy is predominantly to react to behavior.

More effective schools proactively teach students how to behave well.

The best schools do both."

Provides first causal evidence on effects of rehearsal vs reflection for improving teaching.

(AND what weirdly happens when we combine both)

Exciting data on our Ss' maths fluency. Here is Gr 1 last year (green) and this year (teal). The movement of the teal box indicates GROWTH for the Ss. The difference between the teal box and the green box at End of Year indicates SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT. This pattern is seen...

When subtracting from a number with a lot of zeros, it may be easier to subtract one from both numbers, then subtract.

There are many widespread myths about #dyslexia such as reading and writing backwards, or claims of miraculous cures. Make sure you know the facts. https://t.co/fHvWgp5ECR
