@0Beanie05923291 @Doug_Lemov Makes sense! A bit like orthographic mapping for phonemes and graphemes in reading-not memorizing-mapping them for automaticity and accuracy. 👍🏻

"Math fact fluency is often misunderstood as memorization. In reality, it functions as a cognitive support system. When foundational knowledge becomes automatic, persistence increases, frustration decreases, reasoning improves, and confidence grows. Automaticity doesn’t replace thinking, it creates the space for understanding." @SamanthaBrauns2

Elon Musk was asked: “What’s one invention that’s made us worse, not better?” His answer: short-form video. He called it straight-up “brain rot.” And he’s not wrong. A local news report highlighted how kids are getting flooded with dopamine hits every 15–30 seconds from YouTube Shorts and TikTok-style content. Brain scans show overactivation in the reward centers, which over time trains the brain to crave instant gratification, shortens attention spans, and contributes to attention problems, behavioral issues, and even emotional dysregulation. Doctors are now seeing cases where it’s hard to tell the difference between true ADHD and what they’re calling “environmental ADHD” caused by excessive screen use. 78–84% of kids aged 2–12 are on YouTube, often for 2+ hours a day. This one feels especially urgent for parents. How much short-form video are your kids (or you) consuming daily — and have you noticed any real impact on attention span or mood?

When things go a little sideways during my lessons, it’s usually not my students’ working memory getting overloaded. It’s mine. Too many decisions. Too much to manage in the moment. It’s like a tidal wave you can feel building in your brain. But… Offloading in advance, “proceduralizing” as much of a lesson as possible, and maintaining consistent routines has made a huge difference for my cognitive load—and by proxy has improved student outcomes. Here’s how I optimize my own cognitive load. 📖🧠👇

I don’t think people have fully absorbed just how big the declines in student enrollment are going to be. Eight states are projected to experience DOUBLE DIGIT declines by 2031.

Be honest — would 10-year-old you be disappointed or straight-up impressed by how we live glued to this “little box” today? This 90s nostalgia video is too real 😭

NEXT WEEK: Ready for some real spring warmth? The signals into next week are overwhelmingly toasty, and it's likely this will be our warmest stretch of days we've had this spring. That's a statement we'll be making many times as the weeks tick on by, but just offering a heads up that next week will be plenty warm!

UConn couldn't recover from Raven Johnson's defense 🔒 The Huskies shot 7-24 for 17 points and 3 turnovers on 28 halfcourt plays when Johnson was the final defender. Azzi Fudd went 1-5 with 1 turnover on those plays.

If you're keeping score ... Geno mad Dawn didn't shake his hand pre-game? *Video replay shows she did. Geno says South Carolina ripped his player's jersey? *Video replays shows Sarah Strong ripped her own.

Schools thrive when coaching is woven into everyday practice, not reserved for moments of struggle. Consistent, strengths‑based coaching builds the collective expertise students deserve. @edutopia edutopia.org/article/making… #education #schoolleaders #teachers #coaching #edblog

This what Joyce meant when she said only Raven can get away with some of the stuff she gets away with 😂. Dawn is 1000% still locked in and coaching this game lmaoo but Raven is just being Raven! I feel like she’s cherishing the last moments lol
