Speakers at a Glance: What a Stellar Line-Up! A Slide Show highlights the amazing range of topics tackled @researchEdCan Toronto (May 3-4/24) Take a quick look and pass the word - it's theCanadian education conference of the year. #cdned #ONTed app.7taps.com/QgZrYCA8akTD

Still can't get over this fact that @tylercowen shared a while back with @EconTalker: Led Zeppelin's first LP was closer in time to the end of the First World War than it is to today

@TcherryKeen @_keener88 @TheWritingRevol Sentence expansion! Love it!

@CharleneMacF @CTVVancouver Next year we starting planning in September.

Feast your eyes on the "Gingerbarge," a homemade piece of baking art shared by Reddit user truenorth4444. The grounded barge on Sunset Beach has also inspired Christmas ornaments, tongue-in-cheek TripAdvisor reviews, a lighthearted sign from the city's park board, and more.

@TcherryKeen @TheWritingRevol @deltasd37 How was it?

@ianbremmer what a simple yet powerful problem for students to wrestle with..

How maps can confuse us:

Based on @DTWillingham's significant and extensive contributions to our understanding of cognition as it applies to K-12 education through a variety of media and public venues, he is our 2021 Outstanding Public Communication of Education Research Awardee. #AERAAwards

@KathrynMorgan_2 super helpful thread. Thank you!

When it comes to school leadership, I'm a Viviane Robinson super-fan. I've tried to read as much of her research as I can, particularly for my Masters in Educational Leadership. 🔗Here are 9 open-access papers exploring problem solving conversations that I've enjoyed recently.

We realized we have accomplished a lot this term!

@sandstorms "To acquire academic vocabulary, many students need coherent, systematic instruction in a series of topics that give repeated exposure to the concepts and words in varied contexts over a period of weeks." This is the foundation of our Short Text program! deltalearns.ca/elementarylite…

“generally, the most effective way for kids to acquire knowledge is not by reading complex texts on their own—at least when the topic is unfamiliar. Teachers need to read those texts aloud to the whole class and lead discussions focused on the content”

Just watched this video for about the 5th time... love how it challenges some key ways we think about engagement, self-understanding and improvements in learning.. youtube.com/watch?v=RQaW2b… #bced

Im curious how we might pay better attention to the quality of graduation, not just the quantity. #metroVanHS

@DTWillingham @KMarc40 pick me.. pick me..

Advance copies, just smiling at me...

@ChadJessup @nealstephenson haha. I'm convinced that 90% of my followers are following the wrong guy. And the rest are my family members..

Curious how often @Neilstephenson is tagged when people actually meant to tag @nealstephenson ? Seen it 3 or 4 times in the last 24 hours from completely different people. Has to have been happening for years? Now I'm learning about student self-motivation from Neil's tl, rad.

New meta-analysis on motivation suggests competence is the driving factor in student self-motivation. The data also suggests teachers play a more important role in developing student self-motivation than parents. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00…

The ultimate treasure trove 👑 All @DTWillingham articles in one place danielwillingham.com/articles.html

Big moment today looking at intersections of our inquiry strands of antiracism, social media negation, mental health and identity to form a new student spiral: What is identity + How does it relate to sense belonging at school? Start the scan! @kaser_linda @jhalbert8 @SandsSec

For me, rubrics are just giving someone a destination and criteria that says how they did in getting there. This only works if you know how to get there. A learning progression gives a destination and tangible steps to get there. It increases access to the learning outcome.
