Our High-Impact Teaching Strategies mini-guides are built to support teachers with evidence-based instructional strategies across 5 key domains. 🌍 Piloting in India, South Africa & Sierra Leone. Find out more: scienceofteaching.site/high-impact-te… #ScienceOfTeaching #Education #FLN #HITS

[2/2] 🧑🏽‍🏫Remediation = replacing core teaching. It’s about targeted support for children who didn’t grasp foundational skills first time around by: ✔️ Assessing & grouping by learning level ✔️ Focusing on core skills ✔️ Training & supporting teachers ✔️ Monitoring progress & more!

[1/2] 📉 Even in strong FLN programs, some students fall behind. How can systems support the learners struggling most? Our how-to guide outlines 7 building blocks for effective #remediation in early literacy & numeracy 👉scienceofteaching.site/remediation/ #ScienceOfTeaching #FLN #HowToGuide

[2/2] Want to design stronger early #math programs in LMICs? Want to better support teachers to build foundational #numeracy? Our how-to guide offers evidence-based tips on: ✔️ Curriculum and standards ✔️ Teachers and teaching ✔️ Teaching and learning materials #ScienceOfTeaching

[1/2] 🔢 Strong early math skills predict more than academic success— they influence life outcomes like graduation and earnings. How can education systems help teachers build foundational numeracy? Our how-to guide breaks it down ⬇️ shorturl.at/8C2oh #Numeracy #FLN

[3/3] Our #PreServiceTeacherEducation how-to guide covers: ✔️ PSTE structure & curriculum ✔️ Establishing a quality teaching practicum ✔️ Supporting teacher educator and institutional capabilities for PSTE ✔️ Improving teacher selection and deployment #ScienceOfTeaching #PSTE

[2/3] 🎯 Relying on in-service training alone? You’ll be playing catch-up forever. To reduce costly retraining cycles, we need to embed FLN-aligned skills in PSTE from the start. #ScienceOfTeaching #TeacherEducation #PSTE #HowToGuide

[1/3] Pre-service teacher education (PSTE) matters—a lot. What new teachers learn before entering the classroom sticks with them for years. That’s why embedding evidence-based FLN approaches into PSTE is critical to sustain teaching quality. #ScienceOfTeaching #TeacherEducation

[4/4] Check out both our Aii how-to guides: ➡️ Classroom level: scienceofteaching.site/wp-content/upl… ➡️ Systems level: scienceofteaching.site/wp-content/upl… #ScienceOfTeaching #Assessment #HowToGuide

[3/4] How can systems use assessments to close learning gaps and improve outcomes equitably? Our Assessment-informed Instruction–Systems guide covers how-to: 📊Design meaningful assessments 📈Link data to instruction ⚖️Address learning inequities #ScienceOfTeaching #Assessment

[1/4] Assessment-informed instruction=Using what we learn from assessments to improve teaching. Our #HowToGuide break it down at 2 levels: 🧑🏽‍🏫Classroom—how to check understanding & adjust without overloading teachers 🏛️System—how to build assessments that inform action & equity

[2/2] Teaching in a language students know is powerful, but complex. Our #HowToGuides include: 1) An overview on the basics of #LanguageOfInstruction 2) A practical roadmap navigating LOI issues and language choices for improving FLN Check them out here ➡️ scienceofteaching.site/language-of-in…

[1/2] Learning improves when students are taught in a language they understand. Designing an FLN program in a multilingual setting? Our #LanguageOfInstruction #HowToGuide helps navigate: 🌍 Language mapping & policy 📘 Program design 🤝 Consensus-building for long-term success

[3/3] Explore our Structured Pedagogy #HowToGuide series ➡️ scienceofteaching.site/structured-ped… The literature review ➡️ scienceofteaching.site/wp-content/upl… & a note on ‘What education leaders need to know to support structured pedagogy’ ➡️ scienceofteaching.site/wp-content/upl… #ScienceOfTeaching

[2/3] Want to design a #StructuredPedagogy program that actually works at scale? Our practical #HowToGuide series covers topics such as: ✅ Government leadership ✅ Curriculum design ✅ Materials development ✅ Teacher support & training ✅ Data & accountability

[1/3] Structured pedagogy = a coherent package of aligned supports that work together to improve teaching. 📚 Student books 📋 Lesson guides 👩🏾‍🏫 Teacher training & coaching 📈 Assessment & data use #ScienceOfTeaching #StructuredPedagogy #FLN #HowToGuide

📢 We’re excited to launch a short video introducing our #ScienceOfTeaching How-To Guides with some companion checklists – a set of practical & evidence-based resources designed to improve foundational learning. Follow along as we dive deeper into each guide in the coming weeks.

Day 2 of our workshop zeroed in on building a continental mechanism to track foundational learning. We explored: ✅ What to track (FLAT, FLEX) ✅ Who to align with ✅ How the AU can lead for legitimacy & scale. Momentum is growing. #FLEX2024 #FoundationalLearning

Yesterday’s deep dive on #FoundationalLearning indicators brought bold questions & real collaboration. Together we tackled: ✅ Data ✅ Resources ✅ Country ownership ✅ Monitoring #FLEX2024 #Scorecard #Numeracy

I am joining education and skill ministers this week at @TheEWF to discuss implementing #FoundationalLearning programs. We have the evidence and the tools required, but we need strong government leadership for effective implementation.
