The “Skills Before Tools” approach from @Catlin_Tucker, paired with @BrookingsInst research, offer sound guidance for AI in schools. How might we strengthen critical thinking and foundational skills while avoiding cognitive offloading? @mrkelsall @MissGroskin @matthewjmoulton

[Dr. Catlin Tucker @Catlin_Tucker]

AI is a support for learning, not a replacement for thinking.

That distinction depends entirely on whether students have the skills to evaluate information & exercise sound judgment!

Mathematics.

We built ladders to √2, √3, √4, √5, and √6, yet √7 remains a rumor. What architect decided the universe should hide numbers this way?

Learning is always a priority at MHS! Friday afternoon retrieval practice in Algebra 1 to prepare for the Unit 9 exam next week. Vertical whiteboards with station rotation, equals high engagement and learning. @SVVSDsupt @SVVSDBissonette @SVVSDMath #StVrainAdvantage #WeAreMead

Routines That Support Math Fact Fluency

[Greg George @SVVSDMath]

As we head into testing season, strategies like retrieval and spaced practice (used consistently throughout the year) help students retain mastery without sacrificing instructional time on last-minute review that yields limited results. @drshanesaeed @SuzannahEvans2

[Evidence Based Education @EvidenceInEdu]

Retrieval and spaced practice are two study strategies that must be combined

"Retrieval and spaced practice should therefore be seen as two sides of the same coin. Teachers and students need to know, understand and implement both strategies.

When combined, they create powerful routines for lasting learning and effective exam preparation.

By combining retrieval and spacing, teachers and students can make learning stick for the long term while reducing stress and avoiding last-minute cramming."

Who is doing the talking, the thinking, and the mathematics in the classroom? Using debate to foster a language-rich learning environment.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Part of the beauty of math is in the nuance. Not everything has one solution. Not everything is right or wrong. ... This is why debate has a real place in math class. @cultofpedagogy
