When you combine explicit instruction with high expectations and classroom rules. Don't take it from me. Take it from the kids. 😊

I read this tweet and decided to generate high frequency questions during my conference period. I plan to use them in an upcoming unit and see how it goes next week. Thanks @Mr_Raichura !.

This September, if you are looking to improve your classroom practice, one of the highest-leverage but underused strategies to try is HIGH-FREQUENCY questioning. Not note-taking, not copying definitions, not retrieval starters. What do I mean? 1/.

I think experts carry knowledge in their long-term memory for so long that recalling it feels automatic. Because of this automaticity, they don't recognize it as something they’ve memorized. And then they tell people that memorization is not important for learning.

I had the chance to talk with Education Week about moving away from Chromebooks in the classroom. Excited to share my experience and I hope it sparks ideas for others who are thinking about making a change too.

Chemistry teacher Marcie Samayoa went back to paper-and-pencil lessons this school year. It's led to deeper engagement.
