Opposition to Skavica Dam

Stop Skavica Dam, Save Drin River!

The vertical whiteboards and "productive buzz" of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) are sweeping through schools, but engagement is not achievement. Experts like @rastokke , @MrZachG , and @greg_ashman are sounding the alarm that we are trading mathematical mastery for a classroom aesthetic. ​The shift toward "de-fronting" the classroom often ignores Cognitive Load Theory, leaving novice learners to flounder in unproductive struggle while major publishers drive implementation ahead of the scientific evidence. Success breeds engagement, not the other way around. If we want students to love math, we must ensure they are actually competent at it.

It was the lesson before researchED Denver last year... I asked my kiddos about what they'd learned about practice that I could share with those attending... there's even a graph! 😉

@helenrey @IanYorston I would like to receive an invite.

@IanYorston Great - you should have received an invite!

I've started a CogSciPhysics group on LinkedIn... let me know if you're interested. If you've replied and not had an invite my sincere apologies - please reply/message and I'll sort it out. #iteachphysics

Wow. What a book. Whether you teach reading OR NOT it's a must read. So many useful practical applications (research-informed, evidence based) whatever subject, whatever age. Thanks @Doug_Lemov @CollenDriggs @EricaWoolway Summary (C)PD docs here: itsalearningcurve.education/cogsci-book-su…

A roman era cemetery has been discovered in Bulqizë, Albania. Experts say this is the first find of its kind in the country, a monumental tomb with impressive dimensions and rare archaeological elements.

Arbëresh Vittorio Gucci visits Piana degli Albanesi a majority Arbëresh town in Sicily tasting the local foods of his childhood. Born in Italy to Arbëresh parents his Albanian is flawless and impressive. Crazy how we in Albania still make the same olive bread as they do! 🇦🇱🇮🇹

BREAKING: Nearly 150 thousand citizens protest in Pristina in defense of former President Hashim Thaci, who has been held in pretrial detention in The Hague for 5 years on an indictment filed by Jack Smith. This is the largest protest in Albanian history.

American Badgers are nocturnal diggers that play a key role in soil health. They need wide-open land—not flooded valleys. Let’s give them the space they need to thrive. #WildlifeWatch #StopPachecoDam #SaveTheBadger
