The vertical whiteboards and "productive buzz" of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) are sweeping through schools, but engagement is not achievement. Experts like @rastokke , @MrZachG , and @greg_ashman are sounding the alarm that we are trading mathematical mastery for a classroom aesthetic.
The shift toward "de-fronting" the classroom often ignores Cognitive Load Theory, leaving novice learners to flounder in unproductive struggle while major publishers drive implementation ahead of the scientific evidence. Success breeds engagement, not the other way around. If we want students to love math, we must ensure they are actually competent at it.

It was the lesson before researchED Denver last year... I asked my kiddos about what they'd learned about practice that I could share with those attending... there's even a graph! 😉
Wow. What a book.
Whether you teach reading OR NOT it's a must read. So many useful practical applications (research-informed, evidence based) whatever subject, whatever age.
