This is so important for schools to understand... infusing into daily practice x.com/Doug_Lemov/sta…

Dylan Wiliam on the challenge of teachers finding time to get better. I can't recommend 'Leadership for Teacher Learning' highly enough. Each page I turn I feel like I'm learning something that's vitally important, and that I didn't know before! via Dylan Wiliam

Un post muy interesante sobre los efectos de los centros de aprendizaje y el trabajo autónomo (entendido como trabajo por rincones e independiente) en el éxito lector. Shanahan on Literacy shar.es/a1kbQE

Small study of academic vocab acquisition comparing explicit and implicit instruction: monolingual (English) students learn both ways, but emergent bilingual learn only via explicit ($) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Interesting new NBER working paper from David Figlio & Umut Ӧzek. Their findings on impact of early grade retention for English language learners (+ effects) consistent w/my work on full-day kindergarten fx (lg. + effects for Hispanic students). nber.org/papers/w25472 1/2

This strategy is so vital to students' long-term learning. What a great example! If only every classroom wove this protocol into its instructional planning.. Graham Nuthall would be proud.

Buen post de John Kenny sobre la importancia de la práctica de recuerdo y la práctica repetida, con ejemplos prácticos. English and Mathematics Daily Review johnkennyweb.wordpress.com/2019/12/03/eng… via @johnkenny03

Couldn't put together a better list of books if I tried!

Started listening to these this week. They're excellent! Highly recommended for all school leadership.

I love Anki! Planning to blog more about it soon...

Latest blog: How to remember anything, forever. daisychristodoulou.com/2020/03/how-to… Looking at how spaced repetition algorithms & flashcard apps like Anki can help build memories. Planning to blog more about this too because it's fascinating!

In 1665, the University of Cambridge temporarily closed due to the bubonic plague. Isaac Newton had to work from home, and he used this time to develop calculus and the theory of gravity. cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-04…

Instructional planning should be done with this topic being interwoven into it so the learning is not there one day, forgotten the next. Also shows true potential of tech in the learning process. Looking forward to reading Teachers vs. Tech! Oliver Lovell Janice Mattheis

Can't wait to listen to this podcast this week. Also, just gave a list of resources to a brand new teacher. These podcasts and Harry's Responsive Teaching book were at the top of the list!

I thoroughly enjoy reading the historical perspective Timothy Shanahan brings to the table when examining the reading terminology that has become so prevalent and widely accepted at face value. Reading is complex and not as simple to box check as some try to frame it as.

Can every teacher please be required to watch this?

Fantastic article. Really interesting to see how math instruction was overhauled here to produce such a powerhouse program. Love to see the innovation of the design (middle schoolers tutoring elementary) and the enthusiasm it has so spurred in the students.

What a fantastic list.. a blog section after the podcast section might be useful as well, if only to include the thoughts of those like Blake Harvard and Timothy Shanahan . Blog thoughts by Doug Lemov and Tom Sherrington have made their way into books, but not always the case!

I go to a lot of schools, and everyone is focusing on metacognition or dual coding or disciplinary this or curriculum intent that. Then I go into lessons, and teachers are asking questions and students are calling out answers or tchrs are picking ones with hands up. Fix that. >
