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

Thrilled to see @C_Hendrick bringing the #ScienceOfLearning to @researchED_US in Houston @Region4ESC Understanding how students learn, remember, and apply knowledge is not just important, it is essential to refining our craft and delivering instruction that truly lasts.

I bought a $10 latte at the airport and set it down to use the bathroom. When I came back, the cleaning lady threw it in the trash. She was just doing her job so I'm not mad but essentially I paid $10 for 3 sips of coffee. 😀

I have discovered BBQ ribs in America - Carolina style with a vinegar sauce - and frankly every other meat is ruined for me now!

Europeans enjoying the World Cup: “Futbol is the greatest sport in the world.”
Americans enjoying the World Cup: “Wonder what fast food the German guy eats next.”

This is the greatest version of X that has ever and might ever exist. My entire for you page is European tourists discovering (and loving) Taco Bell, Buccee's, BBQ, SEC stadiums and more Americana. It's a level of joy and positivity I've never seen on this app. I love it here.

This German fan came to the USA for the World Cup and has quickly become my favorite account to follow by simply posting his every stop across the country.
He’s roadtripping through the south from town to town absolutely loving life.
The perfect timeline cleanse.

In this episode, I’m joined by @S_Oberle and @organizedbinder, co-authors of Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom. Their work focuses on the cognitive processes that underlie successful learning.
Wow, episode 30 already!

The phrase “bad test taker” has become one of the most damaging labels in education. It sounds descriptive, even sympathetic, yet it quietly undermines learning and academic growth. #education #teaching #testtaking shoemakerf.substack.com/p/ho…

I really enjoyed discussing all things vocabulary with Gene.

Sean Morrisey @smorrisey discusses the Word Mapping Project and vocabulary instruction. The conversation began expansive, then narrowed, and was finally focused, targeted, and precise.

Kids don't get confident from being told they're great. They get confident from doing hard things and finding out they can.

Not telling people how to do their jobs but hopefully it helps a teacher cut grading time. ⬇️

A teacher who grades papers at midnight and writes lesson plans on Sunday morning is not going above and beyond. She is doing the job. The job just does not fit in the hours anyone admits it takes.

4. And when I do grade FRQs, I like to lay them all out on the desk. And I grade one part at a time. For example I will grade all of FRQ 1s first before grading FRQ 2s.
Respects the limits of working memory. 😀

5. Never had to take grading home this way.
I am aware that there are some flaws but this is how I manage work-life balance (or try to anyway...still working on that 🥲).
