Pause to reflect here!
We can get frustrated with our learners at times when we aren't getting the lifting of learning out of them we expect. Knowing how Cognitive Load works can help you design more effective learning. Often the learning in the room is only as effective as our design for it.

Teaching high, then scaffolding up always ends up getting us more learning than Expecting low, then remediating. If we want high levels of learning, we have to expect it, provide for it, & support for it. Accelerating > Remediating

When I got sick of being required to change the learning target and success criteria every day (because how does that make sense for kids in being able to see purpose and growth?), I started making posters of my learning progressions and putting them on my wall instead.

Efficacious people help develop efficacious people! The answer has been and will always be our Ts! ❤️
The most significant influence on learning isn't homework or class size or curriculum Evidence says when teachers come together w/ collective beliefs & commitments around high quality learning & put them into action, that's where real gains are made. With people, not programs.

When little is expected out of others, then little is expended on them. Teachers, something to remember about our kids. Leaders, something to remember about our staff. When we expect at high levels, we will pour into them with high levels. Guess what the results are?

This is true!!!
We talk a lot about "best practices." But there's only ONE best practice. It's your knowledge of the standards, learners, & resources & combining that with what evidence says works (aka effective practices). That's the best practice that really works for all schools all over.

Fun fact 30-55% of people fail their driver's test on the first attempt. If we treat this like our tests in class by not giving any type of remediation or retest, then potentially half of us wouldn't be driving. Let that sit a minute the next time we refuse a chance to retest

Learning is about making more mistakes than series of successes. Getting things "wrong" is where the learning happens. Getting things "right" just proves we already knew it. Normalize mistakes in our classrooms.
