✅️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!

So true!

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

#rEDTO25 schedule is out.

Super excited for this.

Our talk is on "Word Problems and Algebraic Thinking"; it covers how JUMP Math addresses how to teach students to solve word problems and bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebraic thinking. @mayak46.bsky.social @toddtruitt.bsky.social @nathanielswain.bsky.social @paulkirschner.bsky.social

Schemas, Chunking and Working Memory - kirschner-ED How do we manage to process and retain complex or lengthy information—such as sentences, problem-solving steps, or visual configurations—when our WM capacity is so limited?

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.

Are You a Math Teacher? Latest news - California Middle School Math teacher Barry Garelick will be presenting along with JUMP Math founder John Mighton. Traditional Math never goes out of fashion. Why? Getting the right answers still matters.

Fantastic!

Gotta love this!
