"Children learn most effectively when instruction follows an evidence‑based cycle: grounding facts in conceptual understanding, using brief timed practice to make those facts automatic, then returning to discussion and reflection to deepen that knowledge." journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

The thing about learning is that it’s incredibly elusive and deceptive. Even when it feels like it’s happening, it often isn’t. And that’s what the science of learning offers us: some signal among the noise. Without that signal, however faint, we mistake the theatre of learning
