“Although they are hardly the most dazzling piece of edtech, timers are an indispensable tool in the teacher tool kit,” @HenrySeton says. 🧰⏲️ If you want to better manage your time and make more confident teaching decisions, check out his rave review: edut.to/4cXlfM6

The more I think about it, the more I’m astonished how there’s very little to no mention of memory and how humans learn in most Ed school classes.
A massive part of teaching/learning is memory…but teachers don’t really know about it at all.
Borderline malpractice, really.

We often think about think/talk ratio in lessons, but this is equally as important in our work with adults. When your school's adults meet, who gets the airtime and who does the intellectual heavy lifting?

The easy way to study and the right way to study aren’t the same thing. Here’s a post on helping students embrace that.
Desiring Difficulties
How do we get students to desire the difficulties produced by more effective learning strategies?

Some useful resources here for anyone interested in CogSci and the classroom!
Free evidence informed resource pack I created for teachers.
It contains a glossary of key terms & acronyms in education & cognitive science as well as links for further reading.
Download & feel free to share with colleagues 😁👍🏻 tes.com/teaching-resource/ev…

Sometimes, when we are overly critical of others it’s because deep down, we are feeling overly critical toward ourselves. Self-compassion goes a long way.

Such a great way to build empathy, classroom culture . Any ideas on how to bring this into early el. Would be much appreciated:)

There isn’t a special formula to build strong relationships with students. It requires frequent 1-1 check-ins that extend beyond academic content. For that to happen, educators need instructional models that allow them to spend less time lecturing and more time in 1-1 discussions

How we handle mistakes is a window on our character.
Narcissism is being fast to slam others' errors but slow to admit yours.
Humility is being fast to learn from your errors and slow to judge others.
Wisdom is being fast to learn from others' errors to slow the rate of yours.

I took a moment today to read this thoughtful piece from @HenrySeton published around this time last year. What a brilliant way to connect with students--reminds me of the "1 minute passion talk" approach from @AdamMGrant.
What a wise way to foster trust:

When we assess for learning, we assess for teaching.
We put the "for" in FORmative.
Where they are in their learning FORms where we need to be in our teaching.
I haven't taught till I have been inFORmed by where they are in their learning.
FORmative assessment is FOR me.

This verdict upholds a sense of accountability, but not true justice.
True justice looks like a Black man not having to worry about being harmed—or killed—while on a jog, while sleeping in his bed, while living what should be a very long life.
Ahmaud should be with us today.

Just saw this thoughtful post on improving SEL check-ins with students in the Marshall Memo. Love the idea of asking students about multiple emotions. We all contain multitudes. Check it out here 👇🏼

Changing your mind doesn't mean you've abandoned your principles. It may mean you've learned something.
It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your integrity.
The hallmark of integrity is honesty, not consistency.
