Great blog by @nsachdeva.bsky.social and @jim-hewitt.bsky.social on how the science of learning isn’t the same as “back to basics” (which has rather different connotations in the UK due to John Major!). I thought of a couple of other practices that would differ…

In contrast to the 'fool's gold' that's often dished up as teacher training, @nsachdeva.bsky.social and Jim Hewitt offer us pure gold for sifting through the advertorials.

🔥 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!

✅️Know better so you can do better!

👍🏽Science of Learning can inform educators better as they navigate the complex and dynamic environment of a classroom.

❓️Isn't that a good thing? 🤷‍♂️

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
