'For young children, not all narrative formats are created equal. Stories paired with still illustrations are a better developmental fit than text-only stories or video stories.'

What will the school of the future look like? Some great insight here about the role that design plays in the experience that students have throughout the school day. #edchathttps://t.co/rA4znkd0Eh
As a scientist, I knew there was so much more to test grades than simple averages. This post describes how I extract data from assessments to find trends in student learning.

Another fun #STEM activity, creating layers of a volcano and investigating core samples. Compare and contrast how sedimentary rock, map lava flow, compute surface area. #nasamei2018#txed#txeduchat#edchat
Global California 2030 initiative pushes to make California students fluent in multiple languages, increase bilingualism and increase language education in schools.

We complain about not getting paid enough then we are chastised for not spending our money on others. And we want others to follow us into the profession? #sheeshchat#edchat
I was just in a school where the teacher spent 10mins. scolding 4th graders abt not bringing their own pencils. Then I was in a school where all the supplies were in the middle of the table for students to share. Different lessons on how children see the world: lack or abundance.

Computer technology and the virtual world it creates is amazing, but it is just what it is,it is technology. It is not a substitute for relatedness, authenticity, meaning, or being of service in the world.Peter Block. #edchat#edLeadership
Any work that is relationship based at its core is going to struggle to deliver outcomes when more speed is expected&actual time in the room with people keeps shrinking. A powerful insight from Peter Block that relates to many orgs but particularly schools. #edchat#edLeadership
Rouhanifard: I think Renaissance (partnership schools) and other turnaround models can provide quick results. But you also need to play the long game, and that involves taking multiple paths @CRPE_UW#Camden#EdChat
“Beneath these optimistic benchmarks lies a career- and job-readiness picture that may be increasingly out of sync with what the future economy will require.” Interesting from @NBCNews about teaching students skills for industries of the future. #edchathttps://t.co/hDHLIQqtfM

Every educator has the right to spend as much or as little on their classroom or students as they wish. Shaming teachers for not spending their own money is a jerk move. #edchat

"We are reading the text the STUDENTS are reading". Let them talk about what interests them, not necessarily only what interests the teacher. #roundtable#tlap#usmspark#engchat#edchat
Did you know one of the earliest adopters of the SAT, Harvard President James Conant, wanted the test to establish a massive meritocracy in the United States, which ensured the rich didn't simply rule all. Fairly ironic given the nature of the SAT test. #edchat#restorehumanity
Finished!! Not too long and the conversation is informative and interesting throughout. Certainly food for thought in applying many of the principles you discussed into teaching and my leadership roles within school #inspired#sharinggoodpractice#physed#ukedchat#pe#edchat
