Everybody wants to think critically and creatively, but nobody wants build their knowledge base! Reasoning, creativity, etc., involve combining elements of a knowledge base. You can't think with knowledge you don't have. You can't cook with ingredients you don't have.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most common, persistent, and damaging education myth.

🎙NEW EPISODE What does it really take to turn research into results — in real classrooms, with real students? This episode with @tezzabyers & @victorialynne99 dives into: ✅ Why even high achievers use poor study strategies ✅ How to move teachers from “told” to trained ✅ The TRIM model for growing expertise ✅ What makes PD actually stick ✅ How the science of learning is like cows 🐮 Vicky and Terry from Churchie are doing something special. A Learner’s Toolkit isn’t just for students — it’s reshaping how teachers learn too. If you believe in the science of learning but want to go beyond the buzzwords, this one’s for you. 🎧 Tune in here: learnwithlee.net/s03e13-a-le…

The #1 killer of motivation in math learning is not disinterest but overwhelm. Learning math opens the door to things you've dreamt about, but that door is atop a mountainous skill hierarchy so steep and winding it's inaccessible to most students. Of those who attempt to climb, most get lost, hit walls too high to scale, repeatedly try and fail to make further progress, and then turn around and go home. The solution is for some mountain climbing guides to identify the gentlest path up the mountain and build a staircase up that path. That way, all the student has to do is focus on taking each consecutive step.

Just realized that the text of my second inaugural lecture (at the Institute of Education, 2007)—Assessment for Learning: Why, what and how—is no longer being sold by UCL Press, so the copyright reverts to me, and I can make it open access, so here it is: bit.ly/AfLWWH.

The @ALearnerToolkit for Teachers PD course hits it midpoint this week. We are learning an incredible amount about how teachers shape the translation #SoL theory within their context, practice & subject. alearnerstoolkit.com.au/a-le…

Amazing. Love that Peps shares his process for collating research too!
🚨Review of Edu-Research in 2023/24 → 11 standout papers → 5 emerging themes → My finding/sharing process (this is my first crack at a vid—would love any feedback, esp how it could be better next time)

Coaching should not *just* be about teachers learning how to execute techniques but about supporting teachers to develop their *judgement* too i.e. deploying techniques appropriately to meet goals. Therefore, we need to know about mental models. Why?
