@sentdefender At this point the Donald Trump era White House is basically a content studio with a government side hustle 😭

The certainty of the penalty is more important than the severity of the penalty. Predictable sanctions deter far more effectively than unpredictable ones. Schools should systematise their boundary penalties in order for students to believe in them. Which results in fewer penalties needed in the long run.
So oddly enough, if you don't like using penalties, use the ones you have consistently.

The deterrent effect of gathering DNA from people arrested for felonies is large, and illustrates something important about crime. 1/2

People don't hate math; they hate the feeling of being lost. They hate the compounded debt of unlearned prerequisites.

🎁 FREE GIFT: FULL ROSENSHINE CPD PACK!
To celebrate 50 consecutive weeks of ⚗️DistillED, I’ve put together something quite cool…
Over the past year, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction has been one of the most requested topics from teachers and school leaders. So I’ve put together a complete, ready-to-run CPD pack to help schools explore and implement all 10 principles.
The download includes:
→ 10 CPD PowerPoints (ready for 30–45 min sessions)
→ 10 strategy checklists (practical classroom actions)
→ 10 planning templates (put principles into action )
→ Covers all 10 of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction
Everything you need to run ten focused CPD sessions — one for each principle.
👉 REPOST and comment ROSENSHINE and I’ll DM you the link. Cheers!
⏰ Available until Sunday 22 March!

@adamboxer1 Keep an exercise book on your desk. Date every day. Note every single conversation, discipline (phone/ person) about a child and keep doing it forever. Saves incredible amounts of time and resists duplication.

@MrDanielBuck Sadly, for many kids, an environment where rude selfish kids pandered to, is all they’ve ever known. A classroom where rude pupils immediately sanctioned (removed) unthinkable for many. Not punishing rude children IS punishing rest of class. Social justice apparently.

But notice the assumption: someone already knows what X is.
Before Engelmann’s methods can be applied, someone must have decided what knowledge matters, how to model the domain for novices, and what simplifications are acceptable.
Those are often the hardest problems in teaching.

@tombennett71 How many of these implementations began by insisting that the causer of harm acknowledged, and accepted responsibility for, the harm caused? Without this starting point, it's a lethal mutation of restorative justice.

Restorative Justice, one of the worst system-level strategies you can imagine. I've lost track of the number of schools I have supported out of this well-meant but destructive model, where behaviour has spiralled out of control because boundaries have become meaningless. This article demonstrates exactly why, and how it happened in the US. It is a cautionary tale for the age.
The extraordinary thing is how it was implemented so far and so fast with *almost no credible evidence to suggest that we should*. It was strategy based on vibes. 'This feels right.'
It was also yet another triumph of education elites over education experts: no one in school was crying out for this. Nobody was saying 'please make it impossible for us to send students out, or reprimand them, or set boundaries, if they disrupt or harass their peers.'
But that's what they got, and they were penalised if they didn't.
RJ can be a useful tool. But it's closer to a glass cutter than a screwdriver; it's niche, not the default.

So crazy it might work: Test to see who needs more help learning math and provide help immediately, so kids don't fall so far behind they give up.

If every teacher writes his own curriculum, then there is no curriculum.

Students often don't realize that after they graduate, the game eventually becomes 100% about what they've *actually done* and 0% about what they have the "potential" to do -- and this transition happens faster than they expect.
This can be a hard truth for students who get used to hearing "you're going to do great things" and then never take action.
But it's a welcome truth for those who are willing to put in serious work to get serious results.

In Part 1, @oldandrewuk wrote about how the idea that ‘providing resources to teachers deskills them.’
When I was in summer training with Teach First, Week 5 out of just six weeks, I asked one of my university Subject Tutors whether we would be provided lesson resources to learn and teach from. He sneered at me, quite literately and figuratively looked down on me, and snarled, ‘This is supposed to be an accelerated programme for ‘elite’ graduates. If you feel you need to be given lesson plans then maybe you should consider another route into teaching.’
Did I suffer for his hubris? Absolutely.
Does he care? Absolutely not.
Did my children suffer for it? Absolutely.
Does he care? Who can say.
By contrast, @Naveen Rizvi often talks about the first time she encountered Connecting Math Concepts, from @NIFDI Partnerships, and how it was the best training she received, learning more from simply following that programme and coming to understand its design, than anything else.

I didn't realize this: Finland, which used to be the absolute star in the West on education, is now on math roughly at the OECD average, only a bit higher than the US (meaning way behind New England), and fell 60 pts in 20 years, worst in the world. What happened?!

I've been saying this for years: Reading comprehension isn't a skill you teach. It's a condition you create.
Carl Hendrick@C_Hendrick
Reading comprehension is not a skill. It’s an outcome of what you know. Strategies plateau. Knowledge compounds.
