Is it surprising that someone who reads mountains of fiction to receive a journalism degree wants to write fictional narratives that are quite sensational. Tust your gut. If it sound like fiction its probably fictional fantasy written by a person with a degree in fiction.

System fails and system stays. Can we possibly say we care about learning if we are OK with that system. Learning in its least complex form is failure and correction. We are getting the results that we want and demonstrating to students that perpetual failure is fine.

I recently said on a podcast how, in education, we have overplayed the hand of data. We have enough information (it doubles every 12 hours). We need more doing! Put into practice what is obviously right, learning is a contact sport, craft more doing & learning increases.

Powerful message from one of our own @BrowardMath Ts at the @STMath Accelerated Learning User Conference. Jeannie Keating from @WestpineP shared her experience that led to her mantra "The Only Thing That Limits You, Is You!" ⚠️"Empower your students. They can problem solve!"👊

If your math supplements look like your core and your core looks like your exams... Then you are doing a major disservice to your students. Teaching to the test means reduction in outcomes, yet state after state district after district continue. neurosciencenews.com/variability-le…

If a program is made for students and you understand it right away as an adult....is it not made for you and used by students? Lets make things that students understand and adults have to work to figure out. Then we will be creating learning environment for students.

What if the end result of math learning was Wisdom? Wisdom allows students to see the future not because it is magic but because you can always see what you create yourself.

"Identifying learning gaps then fill them" Have you ever filled a concrete hole without tying it to the existing concrete? It will sink below the existing slab. Same is true with learning "Identifying a gap and filling it" does nothing without tying to existing schema.

School & district admins I will ask this again. Do our digital resources drive learning or are they just practice? Learning means that students ask more questions (good questions prompt more questions). Practice means they will ask when am I done. Practice is a race to the finish

The reduction of variables makes learning math more attainable but it also makes students ask "when am I going to use this" because it feels inauthentic. The key is to create a world where the reduction of variables doesn't reduce the authenticity. @STMath and @bds_math do this!

Education leaders are always talking about CHANGE but I rarely see a theory produced of how to make that change happen. @AndrewRCoulson and the leaders of @STMath have consistently produced these documents, tested and changed them when they don't work. Change requires guts!

Notice that we are very concerned about changing the way educators think. We do this by telling them what to think, all the while knowing that it is experiences that craft the way we think. Change the educators experience and you change the stdn experience. #educationisexperience
