one word: AWESOME!

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

Is Brad white back calling the defense for the cats with all this soft ass coverage??? Gonna need one of those halftime adjustments!

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

Will Stein got an aura, man! The moment is no longer too big for us. We still lack a little depth, but if we can stay relatively healthy, this should be a fun ride! Kentucky Football is a vibe right now. Go Cats! #BBN

I love stein but not going up by a td there could be a huge mistake.

Where’s the mountaintop? I need to go shout it from there…

For years, we’ve tried to improve reading by teaching children what good readers do: find the main idea, make inferences, visualize, predict. But reading comprehension depends on what good readers know.

@RowlandRIVALS I love Stein & his management of the program, but I was leery last week, just as I still am, about the offense. It honestly looks no different than the O under stoops after 2 weeks. Overall, I still see a mediocre QB a line struggling to protect & receivers not creating space.

Love Tim. He seems like the glue guy you want around your roster, but find myself posing this thought to myself every time I watch us play. Can’t even blame Poch for playing him because this team doesn’t have anyone better in the back end, but I do continually have this wondering

[Kmac @KMaC703]

I don’t watch soccer but is Tim Ream really the best defender we can find in a country of 300 million people

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

@S_Oberle Of course I’d be out of town on the day this was taking place. Hate to have missed it.

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

@jenn90808 @ChurchillDowns Welcome to Louisville! We were in Indy for soccer this weekend, but I teach right down there by the track! Hope you had fun!

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

Just throwing it out there. I’m over the fad of admins & their rolling carts. It’s performative nonsense. Nothing says “here to support” like rolling in with a cart and typing on a laptop the entire time 🤦‍♂️. If you want to be present, leave all that behind and participate.

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

OMG. This is so so good! I literally want to quote so many things from this, but don’t have enough characters. If you’re in education, do yourself a favor and read this! Phenomenal article.

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

When students can’t find the "main idea", the problem is almost never a missing strategy.

@S_Oberle Where did you get those seat pouches and are they sturdy?

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

@S_Oberle I would love to see these findings, or at least the cliffs notes, because I feel I am currently banging my head against the wall daily trying to get people to leverage research.

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

As someone who works in an improvement school, unfortunately, visibility > results. Then we wonder why we get the results we do. Doing what works best isn’t perceived as cute or fun.

[Rod @rodjnaquin]

Luke Morin, a former teacher, shares a striking irony: he won Teacher of the Year early in his career when his students were struggling. Years later, after studying great teachers and becoming Colorado's top-performing middle school English teacher by test scores, nobody noticed or celebrated his success. He argues schools reward effort and visibility over actual student learning results.

Say it with me: standards ≠ curriculum. When talking about reducing tier 1 instructional variability you cannot have serious discussions when people try to equate the two to avoid implementing any actual curriculum.

[Scott DeHart @scottdehart]

Imagine that! Give kids more content knowledge and they begin to produce at greater levels! You’ll never be a critical thinker if you don’t know enough to think about anything in detail.

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

"Increased instructional time in social studies—but not in English Language Arts—is associated with improved reading ability."

Yes, you read that right. More dosage of reading instruction isn't associated with reading gains. Add social studies time, on the other hand...

From @redandexpert's study on instructional time and reading outcomes:

If, when cooks rolled over the ball had just squirted out on the ground, everybody and their brother would be shouting it wasn’t a catch. But because it never ends up on the ground and in the defenders possession people are incapable of seeing that it wasn’t a catch.

[Gene Steratore @GeneSteratore]

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.

When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.

For a catch:

A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:

If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.

Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

@KJWinEducation While we’re at it can we stop with the rhetoric that teachers who disagree w/admin policies somehow love the students less and inherently don’t have the best interest of students in mind and should move on somewhere else?

Never did I ever picture myself trudging my way to the front lines of the literacy fight, but, man, did this post hit home tonight. Let’s do our job!

[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

You can't pick your era; today's fight is literacy.

Told a person this today. Not fun, but needed. I hope it sparks thought.
