⚠️ POOR PROXIES FOR LEARNING! Just because students are busy, engaged, or writing lots, doesn’t mean they’re learning. Learning happens when students have to think hard! This guide explores poor proxies for learning highlighted by @ProfCoe and what to do instead.

@MrLandesman @MrZachG I try hard to split the class and THEN split again. It’s NOT strongest with weakest but rather strongest out of 20 with 5 below them and then scatter the rest -19th with 5 below them, etc. Fairly close but still supportive
English
When using "think pair share" and sitting a stronger student next to a weaker one, how does a teacher prevent the "logs and hogs phenomenon" where the weaker student coasts or becomes passive and the stronger student doesn't get much out of it or becomes frustrated? @MrZachG

I love these emails. A weekly highlight with concise, research based and informed knowledge. Thanks @XpatEducator

Tomorrow’s ⚗️DistillED is a great way to kick off the new year — I’m diving into one of the most reliably powerful learning strategies there is: retrieval practice — getting students to pull knowledge out of memory, not just put it in.

@dylanwiliam @rpondiscio @KiraboJackson I don’t believe the failed inquiry based lessons examined in this research experiment can be compared to Direct Instruction of Project Follow Through. We’re talking about vastly different teaching methods. (I just skimmed this document, so I could be mistaken, though).

It’s that time of year again! Time for Ditch Summit. It’s FREE online PD that you can access whenever you feel like it for a month. Always amazing - check it out.

This is among the best instructional playbooks I’ve seen in a school.
And they’re going places.

Finally got a chance to listen to this episode. It’s a good one! Great conversation and tough questions (many like ones I hear my colleagues voice) answered and discussed. Take a listen - you won’t regret it.

🎙️NEW episode of the Mind the Gap podcast with @Emma_Turner75 We speak to the one man instructional crusade: @MrZachG. There is tons here on what explicit instruction is and isn’t, how to support new teachers, and making PD concrete. Search wherever you get your podcasts!

@BenisonMrs I agree. The trouble teachers run into is that invisible disabilities are hidden (as you said) and I have found even if teachers know a student has ADHD, unlike wheelchairs, the solution is not clear or universal. Not an excuse to give up trying, but seems to be the reason.
English
@MrZachG I’ve been to meetings where everyone just keep trying to one up the other and prove to the boss they are the best with nonesense, irrelevant to the topic at hand.
I appreciate the breadth of knowledge groups bring but, you’re right, if we’re not going to coach what are we doing?
English
I’ve been to schools where they had a literacy coach, a math coach, an edtech coach… and all their meetings were just discussing how to make sure they didn’t step on each others’ toes. In this case you might as well just hire one instructional coach who actually coaches.

This is a great idea. Quick retrieval practice/ review. I think the box even allows for an Early years student to draw a picture of concepts.

SS can use a fun box to reflect on what they learned—writing statements and asking questions to each other. buff.ly/3XnHOno

I stumbled upon this short and concise document the other day. Wow! What great practical information for all teachers who need in the trenches PD when time is short. Great work @MrGoodwin23 @teacherhead
English
Thanks @MrZachG for an awesome PD today in @evergreen_sd . Loved the practical wisdom and coach led practice. Excited to be in a school atmosphere where DI and explicit instruction are valued.

The belief in transferable skills is perhaps the most common chimera (i.e. a magical belief we want desperately to be true) among teachers of reading.

... & there’s no evidence that the ability to make inferences well transfers from one book to another. The opposite in fact... our ability to inference is a function of our prior knowledge...
