This is an excellent book. I encourage all those interested in the science of learning to grab a copy. Sections: * Memory & cognition * How the brain works * Prerequisites for learning * How learning can be supported * Teacher activities * Learning in context * Cautionary tales Authors: @P_A_Kirschner, @C_Hendrick. There's a great episode of @rastokke's Chalk and Talk podcast featuring @P_A_Kirschner that I encourage you to check out, too. open.spotify.com/episode/59M…

Great teachers don’t leave success to chance—they assume nothing, prepare for everything, and respond with evidence. Excellence isn’t luck; it’s intentional. #TeachingExcellence

We held our System Leadership meetings today. Creative hats and more importantly a recognition that as leaders we care for many and must also look to one another for support.

All solutions to all chapters are now done and included. Phew! gdaymath.com/lessons/gmp/9-1… Question: Have I written a College Algebra tome, or is it really a pre-service teacher's piece? ARITHMETIC & ALGEBRA FOR TEACHERS, TEACHING, AND RADICAL COMPREHENSION or some such?

US math ( maybe physics) teachers... The word 'exponential' has entered the vocab of nearly every Ss I teach. My understanding is that it's exponential if the rate of it depends on it - that's how I teach it in calc based physics. What's going on?
