US ignores home-grown education ideas that are accelerating progress overseas. fordhaminstitute.org/national/com...

Fantastic article. The good news is that the USA is waking up to the science of learning when it comes to reading. It's only a short leap to start realizing that science applies to all learning, not just reading. www.the74million.org/article/cogn...

I just sat in shock for a moment after reading a descriptive narrative I asked ChatGPT to write off of a vague idea I had. My Wife had to ask if I was okay. No, I'm not. AI might have written my favorite descriptive narrative of all time... chatgpt.com/share/678da6...

Oh thank goodness. I'm a while away from retirement, but this is a huge relief. Now I'll actually get all of the social security I spent 20 years paying into. www.nea.org/nea-today/al...

This is an important issue for educators in California and similar states with WEP. I myself moved states, which is already devastating for teacher pensions, but moving from a state where I paid into SS and into one where I lose it is salt in the wound. www.nea.org/advocating-f...

The best short/clear description of Geary is in Ollie Lovell's "Cognitive Load Theory in Action," edited by Sherrington. I used this review article to grok SDT: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Unpop. Opinion- I think it's desirable to teach parts of The Bible as literature in public schools. My own upbringing was not religious at all, and so I found myself lost and oblivious whenever biblical references were used (as they very often are). I wish school had taught me that stuff.
