High Quality Research Rarely Informs Classroom Practice. Why? (Opinion) The connection between education research, policy, and practice is broken. Here’s what it would take to fix it.

Why aren't practices based on research implemented in schools? @tomdee.bsky.social has insights, and ideas for change. www.edweek.org/leadership/o...

Oh, a new example of a synecdoche!

I just did my part!

Sneak peak of a project we have been working on for the past two years... We hope to release more information by the end of the year. Watch this space!

Noooooo! Don’t stay strong. It needs you and you need it. It’s a perfect match.

Beautiful photo! Those blue wings…😲

Drs. Sachdeva and Hewitt in front of a slide about implications of cognitive load theory.

Drs. @nsachdeva.bsky.social & Jim Hewitt share about classic studies in Education, starting w/ working memory & cognitive load theory @ #RedTO25. I was just discussing this w/ @numcog.bsky.social over lunch. I wish all teachers learned about this in their BEd training! It changed my teaching so much

Dr. Ansari speaks, while a summary of his main points is on the slide behind him.

Great talk!

Dr. Ansari begins his presentation.

Listening to @numcog.bsky.social share about automaticity of math facts. I’m always intrigued by the parallels between math and literacy in both robust research findings and common pushback arguments.

“When weak research drives decisions, students pay.”

Dr. Jamie Metsala stands beside a screen, giving a keynote lecture under a massive stained glass window in a church at ResearchEd in Toronto.

At #redTO25, @j-metsala.bsky.social is delivering a great summary of the history of reading instruction and the alignment and misalignment with research along the way.

It’s a first for me too, but it’s beautiful in here! I’m looking forward to meeting you in person at some point today!

😲 In Manitoba, 7 in 10 teachers said either whole language or balanced literacy approaches are used to teach reading. Only 9% reported structured literacy as the most common approach. 60% of teachers & administrators said the current approach to teaching reading isn't working.

What can children learn about morphology from reading for fun? A key part of becoming a skilled reader is understanding how words are built — that is, how small parts of words that carry meaning come together to form words. For example, the word unhappy is made u...

This webinar, with @mrzachg.bsky.social and @blakeharvard.bsky.social is sure to be great! And it’s free!

So sorry to hear, Nadine. This is absolutely devastating. Thanks for sharing updates like this. It’s important that those who are not currently part of the school to have an understanding of the very real implications. I wish you much strength and wisdom as you navigate the question of “now what.”

Moment of appreciation for the bull bison alt text. 😂

Congratulations, Darren! It sounds like the beginning of a lovely new adventure.

Oh, Nadine, I'm so sorry that this is your present reality. I can't imagine how utterly devastating all of this must be.

Superb thread about how Canadian federal elections work, in case you are wondering why your feed is chock full of Canuck politics tonight

Major Education Resource Set to Shut Down This Week The federal Department of Education maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to DOGE cuts.

ERIC!

“ERIC is scheduled to run out of money on April 23. After that date, no new documents can be added.”

Colleagues, this is catastrophic for educational research.
