Great blog by @nsachdeva.bsky.social and @jim-hewitt.bsky.social on how the science of learning isn’t the same as “back to basics” (which has rather different connotations in the UK due to John Major!). I thought of a couple of other practices that would differ…

When Teacher Training Feels Like a Sales Pitch (and How to Push Back)
What an incredibly good post by @nsachdeva.bsky.social and Jim Hewitt

In contrast to the 'fool's gold' that's often dished up as teacher training, @nsachdeva.bsky.social and Jim Hewitt offer us pure gold for sifting through the advertorials.

He will be discussing the research behind the science of learning, the key factors driving the decline of student engagement and motivation, and the lack of positive results being yielded from 'progressive' math teaching methods.

🔥 New Chalk & Talk episode! I had a fantastic conversation with Benjamin Solomon about the petition to retract the New York Math Briefs and how reading and MATH need the SAME evidence-based teaching. Link to episode below!

✅️Know better so you can do better!
👍🏽Science of Learning can inform educators better as they navigate the complex and dynamic environment of a classroom.
❓️Isn't that a good thing? 🤷♂️
👉🏽Why is is so hard to convince folks about this? If we know better, we can do better!
Hi Amy, saw you speak at ATD25, it was such a wonderful talk. Thank you!

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

Schemas, Chunking and Working Memory
Nice blog by Paul Kirschner on how chunking and schemas help us overcome the severe limitations of working memory by organizing information into meaningful, structured units that draw on prior knowledge.
