A Precalc student just came to me confused about how to implement "keep-change-flip".
I explained that all she needed to do when dividing by a fraction was to, instead, multiply by its reciprocal.
"Oh. That's it?!?"
😑 Yes.

Don't buy a program.
Don't add more interventions.
Don't spend additional money.
Don't look at new curriculums.
Want to get learners where they need to be?
Do bring staff together.
Do decide on common beliefs & practices.
Do redesign Tier 1 with impact built-in.
This works.

All behaviour is a communication of need. All of our educational establishments should be basing their work around this. Or at least getting some form of training to understand and support this!
OK, it wasn’t quite 5 minutes, but here’s the clip of Cowherd and Klatt talking about Kinnick Stadium and Iowa City.
(A shoutout to @TheAirlinerBar from Colin as well!)
