The 2nd edition of 'How Learning Happens' is finally out! and
@P_A_Kirschner
and I are very excited to share it.
Here's a brief preview of what's new ⬇️ 🧵
➡️ Firstly, we felt that the missing elements in the first part of the 1st edition all fell within the broader category…

Just had a frank exchange of words with a gentleman on a plane who seemed to think that the small child crying behind him was doing it on purpose. I was sitting next to the child’s mother who was already stressed and upset and his complaining made her feel ten times worse.

I've been teaching secondary English for 15 years and it's only since my daughter started school that I realise there is nothing which compares to the explosive, exponential rate of learning which happens in the first 4 years of Primary as she learns to read. It's life defining.

Head teachers need their staff to be right behind them this week. Once again they're having to make tumultuous decisions based on conflicting and often inconsistent advice. Many heads have not had any real break since March and this term could be the toughest yet. Support them.

There's a massive divide right now between those with small children at home and those with older kids or none at all. Some teachers are looking after their kids all day then planning/marking/recording lessons after 7pm. Not sustainable long-term.

Direct or explicit instruction seems to be widely misunderstood. It's often characterised as boring lectures with little interaction and not catering to the needs of all students. Nothing could be further from the truth. A short thread 🧵⬇️

It's not just the work, it's the joyless and solitary nature of it. Teaching is a relational enterprise where so much of it depends on the electricity of a classroom and hundreds of small interactions between people. I value my colleagues and students more than I ever have.
