Dr. Anita Archer continues to share the message that instruction, evidence and teacher knowledge are the key components to student success. As her Archerism goes, “Cut the fluff, and teach the stuff.” Wonderful Saturday spent in Toronto at @researchEDCan

1977. Educators could have had this information in their hands close to 50 years ago. Thankful for Emily and her team but sad and disappointed at the suppression of Project Follow Through for all of these years.

The closer you get to the impact of illiteracy in people's lives, the less you're willing to tolerate and stay silent about.

Emily Hanford’s first Sold a Story continues to have profound effects on the way we teach reading. This is our coaching team watching the trailer for Sold a Story 2. Our principals will watch it this week. Watertown is ready. Thank you @ehanford

Educational leadership conferences are largely a scam focused on vague platitudes and inspirational mumbo jumbo, when the average principal believes in a long list of bad ideas that include emphasizing anything but the instruction that will get kids to learn the material.

Wow. Brave teachers.
🚨 New episode is now live! I’m joined (anonymously) by two teachers who changed their approach to math instruction after seeing too many students struggle. Their students started below the national average & finished well above it. We talk about Illustrative Math, productive struggle, how to work around a faulty math curriculum & more! 🎧 Listen below #ChalkandTalk #MathEducation #Teaching
