Love this! From Una Malcolm at Manitoba Human Rights Commission Right to Read Report release.

We often assume students will learn by doing - that learning IS activity. But learning is a change in long-term memory, not just being busy. Direct instruction makes those changes happen by checking for understanding and systematically removing scaffolds: I do, we do, you do.

@unamalcolm Love this 💙

A rare non-work trip - this time to Valentia Island, truly one of the most beautiful corners of the planet 🇮🇪☘️ Tayto cheese & onion crisps, pub hangouts, plenty of time to unplug - and not a single journal article was read. Great craic!

What's the single best predictor of accurately solving word problems with fractions in elementary school? Whole number calculation fluency! Not language, nonverbal reasoning, or reading. Gesuelli & Jordan (2023). @NCTM @CECMembership @4ScienceofMath @math psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-…

Sinha & Kapur (2021) found that problem-solving prior to instruction (PS-I or productive struggle) had a NEGATIVE effect (-0.09) on learning compared to PS-I for kids in elementary school. Teach first. @4ScienceofMath @CECMembership @NCTM

Heading into tomorrow's game with Youngstown State, Max Bowman currently ranks in the top 20 for triples in Div. 1 and Evan Bottone has reached base in 30+ games‼️ #GoZips🦘

@BarbaraBleiman It's almost miraculous to find an intervention in education that involves long-term, one-to-one reading support with trained teachers that leads to *worse* outcomes than for equivalent kids who received no support, but somehow three-cueing within Reading Recovery managed it. >>

Chills! @ZipsBB

@sstollar6 You’ve been kinged! Luck is coming your way.
