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

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!

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
