He will be discussing the research behind the science of learning, the key factors driving the decline of student engagement and motivation, and the lack of positive results being yielded from 'progressive' math teaching methods. @researchedcanada.bsky.social @nsachdeva.bsky.social #ResearchED

🔥 New Chalk & Talk episode! I had a fantastic conversation with Benjamin Solomon about the petition to retract the New York Math Briefs and how reading and MATH need the SAME evidence-based teaching. Link to episode below!

✅️Know better so you can do better! 👍🏽Science of Learning can inform educators better as they navigate the complex and dynamic environment of a classroom. ❓️Isn't that a good thing? 🤷‍♂️ 👉🏽Why is is so hard to convince folks about this? If we know better, we can do better!

Drs. @nsachdeva.bsky.social & Jim Hewitt share about classic studies in Education, starting w/ working memory & cognitive load theory @ #RedTO25. I was just discussing this w/ @numcog.bsky.social over lunch. I wish all teachers learned about this in their BEd training! It changed my teaching so much

#rEDTO25 schedule is out.

Our talk is on "Word Problems and Algebraic Thinking"; it covers how JUMP Math addresses how to teach students to solve word problems and bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebraic thinking. @mayak46.bsky.social @toddtruitt.bsky.social @nathanielswain.bsky.social @paulkirschner.bsky.social

Schemas, Chunking and Working Memory Nice blog by Paul Kirschner on how chunking and schemas help us overcome the severe limitations of working memory by organizing information into meaningful, structured units that draw on prior knowledge. buff.ly/22RRCnF

Mini whiteboards as a way for *all* Ss to give an answer to a (formative) question—I love it. … And i *hadn’t* made the connection from that to a good online chat “waterfall”—something I have great success with in my PD!

MINI WHITE BOARDS *Microlesson* I LOVE them & hence made a microlesson for teachers. There are tons of other resources to learn how to use them, this is a quick overview, inspired by a thread by @adamboxereducation.bsky.social (linked in the microlesson too. app.7taps.com/bDZrJIJ6pmTB

Will I see you there? #researchEDUS

🚨This episode drops tomorrow morning! It's all about Project Follow Through and Direct Instruction. It's absolutely fascinating! @nsachdeva.bsky.social @mrzachg.bsky.social

Adam Moler asks teachers, "What is something you always wanted to do in your classroom but couldn't?" Adam explains how AI serves him in the classroom. @moler3031.bsky.social @nsachdeva.bsky.social www.tesscg.com share.transistor.fm/s/51213d39

💡As educators, we should always work towards fostering deep processing through instruction. It's fair to ask how? 👇🏾Check out this microlesson I created. It also shared how we can optimize Gen-AI for deep processing. 📍Two chapters with tons of practical take-aways. app.7taps.com/Zb6W3uJOgrIww

Great post about how to get students motivated. Also our substack Science of Learning is mentioned in there! @jim-hewitt.bsky.social @natwexler.bsky.social

Do you use talking head in your videos? Do you wonder if it should be there or not? What does the research say about this? Check out the whole article below. @jim-hewitt.bsky.social and I try to unpack this question in this post. open.substack.com/pub/scienceo...

MUST WATCH - All-Hands-Up Cold Call Thanks @priteshraichura.bsky.social I'm a fan of this and your work generally. Fantastic stuff! youtu.be/8j4wjUzzZMc?...

Always looking for ways, large & small, to encourage my students to read in their leisure time. A few years ago I started including "currently reading" and "last read" in my email signature, as shown below. A list of my 2024 leisure reading is here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"This information (research) is not meant to tell teachers what to do. It's meant to professionalize their decision-making processes." @sarahoberle.bsky.social www.tesscg.com share.transistor.fm/s/3ae1b09c

Some interesting data from Jean Twenge. While 10th graders' average homework time has plummeted, school grades have increased. Yet standardized test scores in math & reading have declined. 🤔 www.generationtechblog.com/p/the-homewo...

A new paper challenging Cognitive Load Theory has just been published. I've been hoping to read a good criticism of CLT for some time but unfortunately this is not it. THREAD ⬇️ 🧵

Hope to see everyone in Toronto in June!

Canadian students have struggled to read and write. That stops in 2025. macleans.ca/the-year-ahe...
