If you are an education, please read this. There is no such thing as learning styles. There are so many myths that still need to be busted.
💡A survey of Australian teachers found 88% believe in the learning styles myth, 38% believe students learn better through discovery than explicit instruction, 41% believe testing tends to detract from learning.
If you're taught neuromyths about learning from someone who is supposed to be an expert, you'll likely believe them.
The report rightly recommends strengthening initial teacher education, among other things.

Evidence on the harmful cognitive effects of TikTok, Reels, and other short form video keeps growing. It's not just the content, it's the attention fragmentation and the declining ability to plan for the future.

Elementary Learning's B.E.S.T ELA Standards Study is in FULL motion with 2 weeks of study completed successfully with GREAT feedback so far. Teachers & leaders are learning! 4 more weeks of study to go! Let's Go!!! @browardschools @MelissaHoltzELD @MMiller_BCPS @ConeFabian
This is the truth about what needs to happen during the reading block!

All ELA teachers should read the new book, "Leveled Readers, Leveled Lives". We do NOT need to know a student's reading level. Why? Take a listen:).

Please pay attention to the definitive research. Let’s stop leveling and round-robin-reading in 25-26!
Amen to this!! We MUST address the quality of our Tier 1 instruction. Are teachers using the adopted HQIM as designed & with fidelity?

Recent research shows small-group, intensive language instruction boosts language skills in preschool & kindergarteners with below-average abilities. Two large RCTs reveal strong gains, highlighting early intervention's role in future reading success. 🔗 bit.ly/4hM5vNE

Between 2004 and 2010, researchers at FCRR curated a vast collection of Student Center Activities (SCAs) for Pre K-5th grade students. Now, we're excited to introduce a collection of digital SCAs! games.fcrr.org/
