Wow! I’m so happy to be in IL right now!

@storiesbydennis This gentleman explains it best! We’re ordered by the governor to take down our classroom libraries until cataloged on our own personal time with personal resources or can face felony charges.

I just want to say, for the record, and on behalf of teachers everywhere, that bulletin boards and door decorating are a lot harder to do than you think they are.

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

[Heidi Beverine-Curry, PhD @drheidibc]

Reminder: RTI is not a service. Kids don’t “test into RTI” & then “get RTI” from an “RTI teacher.” If we are using the term this way, we missed the boat. RTI is an overarching approach to instruction & the most important “RTI tchr” is the gen ed tchr delivering core instruction.

Study finds arithmetic fluency to be the greatest influence on 4th graders' problem solving abilities.

[Because fluency frees working memory for more demanding tasks, as you're probably thinking].

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

🧵Feedback was something that felt like a waste of time for me for a long time with my students. It seemed like I would spend hours providing it only to have it be ignored.

I blamed the kids, when I should have been looking at my practice.

Here's what I've changed...
