🔥 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.
