Spoke to a teacher from New York.
Makes $140,000/yr with a 10 month schedule.
Retires in 2026 with ~ $90,000/yr pension + full health benefits.
Traditional careers like this can be game changers.
Why aren’t more people doing this?!
Here's a study on exactly that point:
The proportion of academic words used by teachers during the school day is a significant predictor of student vocabulary growth and reading achievement. Research indicates that higher teacher usage of sophisticated, academic language directly correlates to higher student vocabulary scores at the end of the year, particularly for language-minority students.

New from yours truly for @educationgadfly Can we predict if a high-performing school will still be a standout ten years from now? Stability in education rarely comes from discovering the perfect program; it comes from protecting the ones that already work.

Students who regularly experience "sustained cognitive activity"--focused, directed, uninterrupted thinking, reading and writing--during the school day develop better "cognitive endurance" that is, they learn to productively focus on tasks for longer.

Does it really make a difference if students read whole books rather than only brief texts & excerpts?
Evidence indicates the answer is "yes." Plus it's a lot more engaging. @DougLemov@karenvaites@HKorbey

One of the easiest lessons to plan is a whole class feedback lesson - yet they are rare to see in the wild. We tend to think of feedback for individuals, and feedback as grades. Sitting everyone together and going over common errors with a chance to fix them up is so impactful.
I have a 5th grader who has her heart on going to Law School. I'm creating a "5th grade law school" morphology booklet for her. I will come up with more examples. This is just a start. What roots would you add?
This diagram originally from @C_Hendrick and @HughesHaili illustrates explicit instruction as an interactive process — one that actively involves ALL students through continuous checks for understanding. Build in frequent CfU opportunities, vary the strategies and designing a series of high-impact questions! ✅
