I don't believe in "fidelity." I DO believe in fidelity to evidence. No program is perfect. If I see a weakness in a program, I don't just throw up my hands. I DO something about it. (1/5)
Grades are for eggs and diamonds. They only serve to sort students. We are here for learning.
The U.S. grading system is broken. A–F grades are outdated, inequitable, and mathematically unjust. 60 points for failure, 40 for success—how is that fair? The @usedgov should ban this system and demand grading that reflects learning, not punishment. #EquityInEducation
The hardest part of now teaching based on cognitive science is realizing that before I knew better, I shortchanged thousands of students. I wasn’t teaching in line with how we actually learn—and I carry that responsibility. The good part? It drives me to make it right every day.
Random thoughts swirling in my head this Sunday morning: A)When it comes to effective instruction, pretty is not the same as substance. B)Fun and engagement don’always equal learning or rigor. C) Teacher’s feeling about instruction and curriculum don’t always align with what…

is you're expanding your universe. You don't want a situation where it's like, well, forget what they told you about addition of whole numbers. We're talking about addition of fractions now. It's a different animal. Well, it's not."
“It’s really nice that you have this continuing theme. I think one of the challenges in a lot of K-12 math is that, if it's not taught well and the teachers don't understand it, each grade feels like math is a new subject. And what it really should feel like is each grade...
My classroom grading purpose statement: 1) My grades are meant to communicate current student academic achievement of priority standards 2) The primary audience is students & parents 3) They're meant to inform students & parents about students' successes and areas for improvement
This is going to be a great resource.

On the first day of school, I have students take a picture with this "I am a math person" frame. I read in Atomic Habits that it STARTS with identity and then the habits will follow. Someone who keeps telling themself that they are not a math person is not going to grow as much…
Just a reminder: Grade inflation is a form of lying. There are many reasons it is wrong to do, but the crux of the matter is that you shouldn't lie.

This Year, Protect the Teacher Behind the Desk. New year. New boundaries. This is the year you stop apologizing for protecting your peace. Say no without guilt. Set limits without explanation. You can care deeply and still choose yourself. You’re an incredible teacher— but you’re…
Excess screen time is rewiring kids’ brains—delaying language, shortening attention spans, and weakening working memory. We’re not just losing focus. We’re losing the foundational skills learning depends on.
It’s too bad that @MrZachG and @rastokke post with comments turned off. There’s space for a legitimate dialogue. I’ve 23 years experience including 10 years as a math interventionist. There’s no one size fits all when it comes to math instruction.
