THEY DID IT, CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1993, THE BLUE JAYS ARE HEADED TO THE WORLD SERIES 🏆

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities. They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.

Capable students succeed despite flawed instruction, creating the illusion that those poor methods work, when they only work for those who least need them.

You can be an advocate for students, and for parents, and for teachers, AND work to coordinate all three corners of that triangle so that they do what’s in the best interests of kids.

The OHRC urges all duty-holders, including the province, school boards, principals, and educators to ensure that every child has the necessary supports to learn to read. We must unite to guarantee that every child realizes their #righttoread!

Expertise isn't about having more working memory, it's about needing less of it. Experts automate many components in long-term memory and can recognise meaningful patterns instantly, bypassing the need to process individual elements. ⬇️ 🧵

@KJWinEducation 'Altruistic Gaslighting' is such a perfect term for this. We've created a system where kids get explicit instruction in managing their frustration about not being able to read, but not explicit instruction in actually reading.

If you have a "Diversity + inclusion" mantra but wait til kids get to Special Ed before giving what they need for reading... you are the beast you've been trying to slay.

“Teaching would still be creative, responsive, and deeply human—but it would also be anchored in a growing body of knowledge about how learning happens.”

🕹Competition time!🕹 To celebrate the fact that I've finally got my hands on a copy of my book, I want to give away a copy. Please like, retweet, and perhaps give me a follow to be in with a chance to win. https://t.co/ElHBTSaxup

“What protects children is not positive affirmations but coherent curricula, expert teaching, strong relationships and a culture that values academic success without fetishising it” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great start to the season of the Reading Road Trip podcast with @LeslieLaud and @thinkSRSD I’ve just started and could see the impact in just a few months. Better writing, more motivated students, and less educator workload. So many nuggets in this episode, take a listen!

When asked how building student relationships looks like in the classroom, people usually mention kindness, high expectations, and being relatable. And while those things matter, there’s one thing that often gets overlooked: professional credibility. ⬇️

“Keep it simple. Keep them thinking.” Love this. ⬇️

"There's no time" ... and yet hours are spent nodding through meetings that do little to improve teaching: logistical updates that belong in an email, group venting sessions, and district directives that are disconnected from classrooms. https://t.co/RCp2fkEG8i

Evidence-based instruction in Mathematics, Reading, and Writing—there’s no either/or when it comes to securing students’ futures. #rEDTO25 @researchEDCan @rastokke @johnmighton @LeslieLaud @thinkSRSD
