While students might grow up surrounded by technology, they’re not innate digital learners, tech coach Debbie Tannenbaum (@TannenbaumTech) told me. That’s an important distinction.

Calling all K-12 math teachers 🚨

Without sacrificing rigor, how do you make learning math more joyful for students?

What does finding the right balance look like, especially at the middle and high school level?

Would love to hear what works for you in your classroom! 💡✨

The benefits of scaffolding are clear: Advanced learners will have more durable memories, while struggling students receive the support they need. 🏗️

Here are 6 science-backed ways to scaffold student learning, from Edutopia’s @YoukiTerada: https://t.co/WWse4aD0WZ

I struggled w/ math as a kid. Each F on a quiz was evidence that reaffirmed I simply wasn't a "math person."

Showing students how much they're growing can help break students out of this performance loop & inject a measure of perspective. For @edutopia: https://t.co/ugauNb0kll

Agree 100%. It may seem binary from the teacher's perspective, but it's not from the student's.

[Youki Terada @YoukiTerada]

Thanks for pointing that out! Had no idea, I'll check out the book.

Here's the original article I wrote, for anyone interested:

“Greeting kids at the classroom door and using their name can increase engagement by 20% and decrease disruptive behavior by 9%.” ~@YoukiTerada quoted in Cultivating Behavioral Change in K-12 Students by Huitt and Tolbert

A single ping from a student's phone can break their concentration. Most students are getting hundreds.

A recent study of 11- to 17-year-olds revealed that on a typical day, half received 230+ notifications from their phone—about a quarter of them arrived during school.

We tend to think of "brain breaks" as downtime, but a 2021 study says they're "just as important as practice in learning a new skill.” 🧠

Paradigm shifts usually end up overcorrecting, and this article does a great job adding nuance to the science of reading debate.

I spoke with @heymrsbond about the reasoning behind her choice to ban AI-use in her HS English classes this year. "My job is to help kids develop foundational skills. Using AI at this point in time is not a foundational skill." Read more @edutopia https://t.co/gFcGntvt8V
