@ChadAldeman @Doug_Lemov @ColleenDriggs @EricaWoolway Everyone should read this new book, not just educators.

That was my attempt to very concisely summarize a new book by @Doug_Lemov @ColleenDriggs @EricaWoolway translating the science of reading into classroom practice. Read my full review here: the74million.org/article/new-bo…

"Get kids reading fluently. As much as you can. Have them read and write about books."

@Ready4rigor So important to note!

Standardized #testing season is underway. Let’s be clear: tests don’t just measure content, they measure context. When students fear confirming negative assumptions about their identity, the brain shifts into protection mode. Stress rises. Working memory narrows. #edu

Out today, a short and accessible policy and practice summary of our new working paper "Is Teacher Effectiveness Fully Portable?" Via the @AnnenbergInst edworkingpapers.com/policy-practic…

@rpondiscio @HKorbey Look for teams measuring improvements tied to the changes they are intending to make vs looking at trends

I agree with @HKorbey that we should study successful schools. But choose your role models carefully. High-fliers tend to crash and burn. My latest argues we should look for "boring" schools and districts whose consistent results have endured. fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

ICYMI: At RPPL’s Coffee Chat, participants had the opportunity to apply the Research Framework in real research–practice partnership scenarios. Together, they explored how Framework practices generate more impactful PL. Learn more bit.ly/3O5g719

Matt what do you think the job of the teachers union is in this moment

@GovofCO You're a wonderful & visible ambassador for student success -- thank you

📚✨ Kicking off the school year in Steamboat Springs! Today, I visited Strawberry Park Elementary School to greet students and staff on their first day. Strawberry Park is not only top-ranked academically, but it also offers Gifted & Talented programs and Project Lead the Way, helping students excel in math, reading, and STEM. With a focus on safety, inclusivity, and social-emotional growth, this school sets students up for success—inside and outside the classroom. From the universal-access playground to the 2020 renovations expanding arts and pre-K facilities, it’s clear that every student here has the tools and support to thrive. #BackToSchool #ColoradoEducation #StrawberryParkElementary

Please, unless you would walk up to any museum and demand to be let inside for free, do not disparage local journalism paywalls (especially at nonprofits!) We’ve seen recently how reliant nonprofits can be on single grants. Having revenue from many subscribers creates stability

A recent report from @WallaceFdn explores how districts can build principal pipelines that stand the test of time—even amid change and uncertainty. The key? Thinking long-term from the start. Read more: wallacefoundation.org/report/impleme… #SchoolLeadership #PrincipalPipeline

Beautiful

How do you create a learning experience that will ''stick''? The trick is to apply discoveries from cognitive science in its design. #PL ''is one of many areas where the applied science of learning can have a meaningful effect.'' ow.ly/obGP50VeN3l
