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.

"...embrace opportunities for quick and meaningful wins. These are the common-sense education initiatives that share three critical features: evidentiary support, low financial costs, and scalability." - @tomdee.bsky.social www.edweek.org/leadership/o...

I’ve spent the last 15 years thinking about math skills that set kids up for success at school entry. Now, I’m excited to dive into new work on how math is conceived in California’s universal transitional kindergarten (UTK) funded through the Barbara White Bequest @berkeleyeducation.bsky.social

Here's GREAT news for educators! You know all the hard work you put in to design outside of class activities to help your students learn? Well, when they do those things, in the order you intended, they actually learn more! Check it out: dx.doi.org/10.1037/edu0... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Promotional graphic for Gale Sinatra’s Scopes Symposium lecture Science Denial and Teaching Evolution. Gale Sinatra, wearing glasses and a patterned shirt, stands at a podium speaking with a smile. The text reads “Gale Sinatra – Science Denial and Teaching Evolution.” Logos for Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies and the National Center for Science Education are at the bottom, along with a small image of two raised hands pressed against glass.

Science denial is real — but so are tools for teaching #evolution effectively.

Teachers Are Trying to Make AI Work for Them Since the start of the AI boom, teachers have been tasked with figuring out if LLMs are helpful tools or a cheat code. This is how they’re bringing AI to their curricula.

I'm fine with experts, like teachers, using GenAI if they find it helpful (e.g., developing & differentiating lesson plans). What I'm worried about is non-experts (e.g., students) using GenAI to avoid the desirable difficulties necessary for learning. #AI #GenAI

If you've been wondering how people learn, or how things like GenAI affect how people learn, or how to help people teach and learn effectively, then you should talk to an educational psychologist. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Screenshot of article published in Psychological Bulletin titled "Teacher–Student Relationships and Student Outcomes: A Systematic Second-Order Meta-Analytic Review"

A meta-analysis of meta-analyses substantiates that teacher-student relationships matter for academic & other outcomes. "Thus, it is central to train teachers to develop positive TSRs to give their students a sense of safety and belonging." #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/bul0...

For years, US teachers already had more face-to-face instructional time than teachers in any other country.

The daily hour of planning time (which is not always guaranteed) is inadequate for the planning, grading, parent outreach, tutoring, & meetings that are part of the job.
