@DiggerKPs139 @MelissaKumanski This is my 37th year as an educator. I have loved this career my entire time. Currently I’m a literacy coach and it’s a dream job, supporting both students and teachers. I believe we are here to leave a beautiful impact on the world.

As cognitive science begins to catch on with educators around the world, is something important being overlooked?

Explicit teaching & retrieval practice are crucial, but they're not enough to ensure deep understanding.

The more you know:

"Consonant blend is a term invented by phonics program developers (not linguists).

Somewhere along the line, someone decided that, in addition to the many, many correspondences between our ~44 phonemes and the 26 letters...This was always a bad idea, but it caught on. Now, teachers are so conditioned to think it's necessary to teach these clusters as separate units, many don't even question the practice or its complete lack of an evidence base."

This new paper from @EdResearchAU is very welcome. It highlights something I have been concerned with for a long time now which is the implementation problem.

The main barrier to better teaching in many schools is not a lack of evidence but a lack of any kind of serious implementation. The same approaches that can thrive in one school can fail in another, depending on the quality of implementation, not the quality of the research. Some very useful guidance here: https://t.co/iArttJtZsY

My father once told me the secret to a happy marriage.

“Stay out of the kitchen. Let her handle the holidays.”

I was 19. He was in his recliner.

My mother was cooking for 14 people.

She’d been up since 5 AM.

He’d been up since the football pregame.

I didn’t think anything of it.

That’s just how it was.

Fast forward 20 years.

I’m in the recliner.

My wife is in the kitchen.

She’s been up since 5 AM.

I’ve been up since the pregame.

My daughter walks by and I see her watching.

Not the TV.

Her mother.

Then me.

Then her mother again.

That’s when it hit me:

She’s taking notes.

My father taught me that holidays were for men to rest and women to work.

He didn’t say it.

He showed it.

Every Thanksgiving.
Every Christmas.
Every Easter.

The recliner passed from him to me like an inheritance I never asked for.

This morning I woke up at 4 AM.

Not for content.

For the turkey.

My wife found me in the kitchen at 6.

She didn’t say anything.

She just stood there.

Then she cried.

Your kids are taking notes.

Not on what you say.

On where you sit.

The recliner is an inheritance.

Be the generation that stands up.

@MAGAVoice I’m praying that you learn grammar and how to express in writing possession versus plural in a sentence (eg “families).

@ReallyAmerican1 His behavior is absolutely vile and shows just but one reason he is unfit to be president. If this were one of my kindergarten students, I’d tell with them
About why name calling isn’t okay. And yet the leader of our country acts in this manner 😑

[Annette Radogna @teachluvsbeach]

@RepMTG I’m sorry this is happening to you, it’s awful. I’m grateful you’ve seen the light into the depths of this man’s despot-like behavior and vileness. He’s disgusting.
