📣 FREE WEBINAR! I'm hosting another free online DistillED webinar with special guest @HughesHaili — Lethal Mutations: When Good Ideas Lose Their Purpose.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

→ What lethal mutations are, and why they happen
→ Common mutations of evidence-informed practices
→ How to adapt principles intelligently without losing their purpose
📘 EXCLUSIVE HANDBOOK! Everyone who stays until the end will receive the brand-new DistillED Lethal Mutations Handbook, a practical short guide to recognising common mutations and keeping evidence-informed practice connected to its original purpose.

⚗️ This week's DistillED, part two of the Cognitive Load Theory series, looks at element interactivity. Drawing on John Sweller's work, it explains why a short task with tightly connected parts can ask more of working memory than a long list of separate facts.

🎙️ Teach Smarter: The Science of Learning is officially official on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
I encourage you to check out our two most recent episodes: one on attention with @AmberBHaven and @XpatEducator and another on automaticity with @mommagordon2 and @katie_a_baker
If you missed our inaugural episode a couple of months ago, check that one out, too! We break down the modal model of memory with @helenrey and @S_Oberle and explore what it means for teaching and learning.
Across every episode, @StamStam193 and I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice by hearing directly from teachers in the classroom who share concrete, practical applications of the science of learning that any teacher can use in any context.
The goal is always to connect what we know about how learning works with what teachers can do to make learning more effective in their classrooms.
Give us a listen! 🎧

“Every bit of extraneous load uses up working memory that could be focused on learning.” @XpatEducator
When we’re intentional about how we teach, we create space for what matters: thinking and learning. Less mental clutter, more room to learn.👇youtube.com/watch?v=D9bsjqNq…
