@MrZachG@Fitlearning@KimberlyBerens5 Put us @Fitlearning in a tutoring battle royale vs anybody/any other method. It’s insanity that these kinds of gains are possible and everyone doesn’t know about it, but the proof has to be shown in some kind of major way
I observed a @Fitlearning session today thanks to @KimberlyBerens5 (future guest!). A few notes:
1. frequent reinforcement
2. lessons brisk, including transitions
3. high success rate
4. progress monitored and visible
5. why is this not the default of every learning environment?
Project Follow Through embodied the hopes and ideals of those who wanted a more just and equitable society. Of the educational models that were compared, only one succeeded, and that was Direct Instruction. And the powers that be didn’t like that result.

Unfortunately, the results of Project Follow Through were suppressed! In this episode, I interview three educators, now all but retired, who were actually on the ground during PFT. Their stories are amazing!

How does a school with behaviorist underpinnings approach teaching? I found this episode thrilling and their Model of Generative Instruction consistent with effective instruction. @amandavande1 @CoreyJPeltier @behaviorpodcast

"Direct Instruction students performed well not only on measures of basic skills but also in more advanced skills such as reading comprehension & math problem solving. DI students’ scores were quite high in the affective domain, suggesting that building academic competence promotes self-esteem, not vice versa."
Why education experts resist effective practices (and what it would take to make it more like medicine): https://t.co/elRestnQw4
