Teacher retention isn’t complicated:
If you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best.
People rarely walk away from a place where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and trusted as professionals.

[Dr. Marcia Tate @drmarciatate]

Movement isn’t just for PE class—it’s a powerful learning tool! Brain-based research shows that when we get our bodies moving, our brains remember better. Whether it’s walking meetings, active learning strategies, or just standing up to stretch, motion matters. How do you incorporate movement into your workday? #edchat

Enabling students to become proficient readers takes more than “the basics.” 🧠

Comprehension grows from all they learn in science, social studies, and the arts.

📣We are loving Melaika A. Brown’s blog over at @KnowledgeMatrs 💗

“When we don’t build on background knowledge or offer scaffolds to connect students with challenging, grade-level content, working memory soon overflows and learning all but shuts down.”

[Natalie Wexler @natwexler]

Most schools rely on leveled reading. A new book by Tim Shanahan shows there's no good evidence to support that approach.

What can teachers do instead? The book offers good ideas but omits something key: build kids' knowledge.

Leadership is not about having power over others, and it isn’t about telling people what to do. Being a leader means caring about the people you’re leading and focusing on their success more than your own. #edchat

[Justin Browning @SorforMore]

Principals and district leaders must build their knowledge in the Science of Reading and Learning! The schools where real change is taking place ALWAYS have a principal and district leader with deep knowledge.

You can’t lead what you haven’t learned!

📚 Kids aren’t reading for pleasure because classrooms trade deep reading for “popcorn passages.” To truly read, students need time to enjoy, analyze, discuss & write about texts—not jump topics daily.
