🔥 New Chalk & Talk episode! I had a fantastic conversation with Benjamin Solomon about the petition to retract the New York Math Briefs and how reading and MATH need the SAME evidence-based teaching. Link to episode below!

Drs. @nsachdeva.bsky.social & Jim Hewitt share about classic studies in Education, starting w/ working memory & cognitive load theory @ #RedTO25. I was just discussing this w/ @numcog.bsky.social over lunch. I wish all teachers learned about this in their BEd training! It changed my teaching so much
