Knowledge Is Power

Teacher who uses explicit instruction.

[Knowledge Matters @KnowledgeMatrs]

“Teaching about too many topics…is a mistake.”

When we jump from topic to topic, we don’t build knowledge, we fragment it.

Knowledge isn’t extra. It’s the foundation that makes reading, thinking, and learning possible.

U of Fl developed phonics/phonemic awareness program for K-1 shows dramatic results, as measured by DIBELS. Some quirks in the study: control is perf in a different year, spanning pandemic, & analysis limited to low-performing Ss. Still, v encouraging. https://t.co/CDQyxNYFRK

"Math instruction must be systematic and explicit. Teachers need to give clear and precise instructions and introduce new concepts in small chunks while building on older concepts. Such approaches have been endorsed by dozens of studies..."https://t.co/AejpMoZBMk

@JLeiper Almost t-boned a car at Ruskin and Holland. Cars don’t look when going through Holland ! I know you’ve looked into this. Just adding to the data.

“Many of the people working in education departments come from the ranks of education superintendents and curriculum consultants, most of whom have climbed the career ladder by espousing progressive education ideas and enacting progressive policies.”

I read deeply but remember almost nothing. This sadly is true for many of the cherished classes took as a student. The thinking was profound. But what do I remember? Only the warm glow & a hazy detail or two. I thought but I did not learn.

Getting out of the way today so my wife can be alone with the kids by herself on her special day. It’s a day for my kids to spend time with their mother to appreciate how great she is. Hope they have a great day. See you tomorrow, gang! #HappyMothersDay

Yup!!!!! " It’s education’s Gordian Knot. It’s hard to know even where to begin to unravel it."

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

This is such a huge deal we should be talking about it a lot more: why should professionals be hunting down scraps of lessons from strangers like hungry, desperate coyotes? It's a dysfunctional ecosystem of method and content.

One of the best classroom videos we've had the pleasure of posting. Topic: discussions.
