If this isn’t already one of your podcast subscriptions, it should be! Fabulous content on math(s) education specifically and also on learning science more generally. Congratulations Anna Stokke 🏆

“Leaving handwriting style decisions up to the states has worked out about as well as letting states decide railway gauges”. Another great read (thoroughly researched as always) from Spelfabet 🙌

YES! I am tired of hearing that parents need to "do their job" and help teach their child to read! It should be an expectation ABOVE all other things that we, as teachers, teach them how to read!

If adults don’t understand that concepts & skills that are “basic” to them are in fact *complex* to young children, corners will be cut & instructional knees will be grazed. Lost learning time compounds in pernicious ways. This is to be celebrated for its vision & substance 🙌

I love these infographics created by leahmyers to show the impact of high-quality instruction, regardless of SES and other factors. Credit where credit’s due though - I borrowed the lovely metaphor about a rising tide lifting all boats from Dr. Maria Murray 🛶 📚 🛶

Reposting with a ping to Jim Hewitt whose handle I missed in my earlier post. A highly recommended listen 👏👏👏

Disappointing to see an education academic attributing Tasmania’s parlous Yr 12 completion rate to family poverty and SES. Presumably therefore, where high completion rates exist, these are due to high SES and instructional quality is irrelevant 🤷🏻‍♀️ abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

So-called “giftedness”, ability streaming, meeting the needs of advanced students, educational equity….it’s all here, plus more in this conversation between ⁦Anna Stokke⁩ and ⁦Jonathan Plucker⁩. A highly recommended listen. 🏆 🎧 📚 📈 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/cha…
