🚨 Fantastic new episode is here! England reversed its academic decline—and now ranks 4th in reading on PIRLS and highest-performing non-Asian country on TIMSS. Former Minister @NickGibbUK shares how evidence-based reforms in reading & math made it happen. Link below ⬇️

At #TRLCON2024 Kurt Engelmann told me “other than my father & Doug Carnine, no one has done more than you to promote the efficacy of Direct Instruction” The research on DI is irrefutable. See Project Follow Through nifdi.org & ask why did we ignore these findings?

It was great to be at St Joseph’s Primary school O’Connor this morning with Tony Cook PSM, Secretary of the Australian Government Department of Education, to highlight the practice change and precise focus on learning and teaching that is occurring across the 56 schools at @ceacg through Catalyst. @CjTarrant @Rossefox

Expert educators+dedicated teachers+in-situ coaching for explicit teaching PD works: "It was the most enriching PD I've had in 24 years, & I honestly enjoyed & found every moment incredibly worthwhile." Thank you Cara for your kind words, for coming frm Sydney & CGCE for hosting!

This is a great explanation of important concepts fundamental to early literacy teaching. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of how children most effectively learn to read. ⁦⁦@ACUeduandarts⁩ theconversation.com/what-is-phonic…

Lorraine Hammond taking the staff meeting today @yatesavenuePS. Daily review in the morning; vocab and writing in the afternoon. What a day! @DrLSHammond

This cracker of an episode dropped in the last few days. ⁦@rastokke⁩ continues the careful exploration of evidence and practice for great learning and teaching. ⁦@PamelaSnow2⁩ again provides thoughtful and compelling analysis. Listen now! pca.st/episode/5a9604…

@NateJoseph19 What informs your assessment of the need for a priority for change in teaching of maths?

I wish more people were paying attention to this. The math situation is far worse than the reading situation.

@DrLSHammond @JenWhiteEd @BrookeWardana @ShapingmindsAus @kimberley_sp @CodeReadNetwork @SharingBestPrac @RayBoyd007 @janhasbrouck @PamelaSnow2 Proud and privileged to work with @DrLSHammond to improve reading instruction and learning and teaching in @ceacg schools.
