It's such an honor to receive the Eminent Researcher Award from Learning Difficulties Australia. While my name is on the award, everything is a team effort! I'm so grateful to the PRIME leads and doc students as well as the teachers and students who participate in our research.

🚨New episode is amazing! Paul Kirschner, @carlhendrick.substack.com & Jim Heal unmask some instructional illustrations, from discovery learning to innovation fads, engagement & more. It's a great preview of their new book! Link to episode ➡️ open.spotify.com/episode/0hIj...

I am in my 20th year in education and the @steplab.bsky.social coaching Intensive was the best PD I have ever been in. No sit and get, the PD modeled great teaching from the first minute until the last. @joshpd.bsky.social @rachel-sewell.bsky.social @mrzachg.bsky.social

With budget concerns looming, it’s time to expect more from publishers and edtech companies. We can’t afford to waste time or money on ineffective products. Our teachers deserve better. Our students deserve better.

Loved getting to share what my district is working toward—we’ve got some amazing people pushing for meaningful change and willing to do the hard work to support it. #iteachmath

Just signed up for the PaTTAN Virtual Math conference and whose names do I see? @mrzachg.bsky.social @rscodding.bsky.social @rastokke.bsky.social along with a number of amazing people. #ITeachMath events.pattan.net/welcome/70

In math, this issue is critical. Falling behind early, often as early as 3rd grade, means students rarely catch up. No matter how engaging or innovative a teaching approach may seem, if the system allows students to get off track and never re-enter the learning pipeline, we are failing them. 3/3

If all teaching methods were as effective as claimed, classroom performance would align with state, national, and international assessments—but it doesn’t. Grade inflation is real, and a few strong years in that 13yr journey don’t guarantee after high school success. 2/3

Individual classroom success doesn’t define a school system—education is a 13-year journey. True success is measured by whether students reach their goals after they leave, not by isolated wins from a single teacher. 1/3

What’s the Best Way to Tell If an Ed Tech Product Works? Science of Learning Can Help Kucirkova: Instead of debating randomized controlled trials versus co-design, it’s time to completely rethink the way these tools are assessed.

"The market is oversaturated, and schools are tired of marketing hype." If every product and textbook lived up to its claims, would NAEP scores still be this low?https://www.the74million.org/article/whats-the-best-way-to-tell-if-an-ed-tech-product-works-science-of-learning-can-help/

Any school who is in budget season needs to listen to Dr. Burns on Knowledge for Teachers podcast @learnwithmrlee.bsky.social, minute 38 is the reason why we moved on from so many products. Important information throughout the podcast. www.learnwithlee.net/kft-matthewb...

Why math coverage ≠ literacy coverage - Kappan Online The latest NAEP scores suggest that math instruction needs just as much coverage as reading. But covering math requires a slightly different lens.

Why does math coverage in the media lag behind literacy coverage? With math outcomes under scrutiny and policies shifting, it's time to amplify the conversation! @hollykorbey.bsky.social

Whenever I am working with teachers in my district and they ask where they can find out more info about the work we are trying to do I send them to chalkandtalkpodcast.podbean.com and educationrickshaw.com/category/pro.... We are making changes and these 2 resources have been incredibly helpful.

Kindergarten math is often too basic. Here’s why that’s a problem - The Hechinger Report Teaching in kindergarten is often too focused on early skills like counting, instead of building a bridge to later math learning

Great article on math interventions in Kindergarten with quotes from local PA teachers! hechingerreport.org/kindergarten... #iteachmath
