When I criticise education research and academics, this is exactly what I mean. This article was just published in a prominent education research journal. Peer reviewed. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks LSG !! I can see a lot of flags in there !

The decision to move on from the English EOI is mature policy, and great to see DE being forthright about its limitations. Ax should be efficient, purposeful and informative for instruction. The year 1 Phonics Check ✅ these boxes, where the EOI did not abc.net.au/news/2024-12-0…

New paper challenging Cognitive Load Theory. I've been hoping to read a good criticism of CLT for some time but unfortunately this is not it. THREAD ⬇️🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I’m shocked that this needs to be said, but: If you have a student who struggles to read, you should not blame the parents, for not reading enough. Lots of kids with dyslexia struggle to read despite having their parents read to them every day. You don’t know what happens in a

I think this piece highlights all the bad ways data has been used in education, and why eyes often roll when you mention 'data'. A lot of schools have been swamped with meaningless data from flawed tools - shifting the discourse on data will be critical mamamia.com.au/why-i-quit-tea…

Too often, student voice and agency are framed in opposition to the work of knowledge acquisition and explicit teaching. I made this diagram to conceptualise how they complement each other.

A thread on the reasons why many pupils arrive at secondary school as dysfluent readers (and what we might do about it). ⬇️

🧵Getting people to learn is *hard*. I'm trying to flip the way I think so that I make better assumptions about learning. Here's how it's going (plea for help at the end) I now see three learning DEMONS 👿👿👿 ....

This is a really insightful conversation on what we do know (and don't know yet) about the impact of reading science related legislation on student outcomes across the US. Jake Downs | Teaching Literacy Podcast 📚 thanks for these thoughtful discussions. There's always a takeaway! pca.st/episode/46f9b3…

I’m so grateful to Emily Hanford for shining a light on what works! Also thrilled to know it’s what we’ve known for 30 years, back when we implemented Reading First - evidence-based instruction targeted at current skill levels with relentless pursuit of outcomes by the end of grade 1

The Outlier Sold a Story Episode 11: There’s a school district in eastern Ohio where virtually all the students become good readers by the time they finish third grade. How did they do it?

Loved hearing about this remarkable school Emily Hanford. What a beacon for the community. Schools like this are so critical for creating opportunities for kids, and something to believe in beyond the rust belt decline narrative. There are parallels here with rural Aus schools too.

La Trobe has its sights set on tackling Australia’s #mathematics crisis 👩‍🏫 We will train teachers in explicit teaching, showing them how to break down concepts into clear, logical steps — replacing commonly used methods that have left many students struggling with basic

Would love to hear people's thoughts on how we conceptualised the role of Speech Path in Ed, particularly when systems have improved clarity r.e. curriculum, instruction and assessment. Thanks Arti for an engaging discussion on the Human Chapters pod 🙏 youtu.be/NmMbRE3bzcI?si…

Welcome to the La Trobe University clan Emily Hanford 📚

It will never cease to amaze me how Vygotsky become the patron saint of pedagogy. The hallowed Zone of Proximal Development is so loosely defined as to be almost useless in terms of operation. For example, what constitutes the “zone” or “potential” varies wildly depending on
