1977. Educators could have had this information in their hands close to 50 years ago. Thankful for Emily and her team but sad and disappointed at the suppression of Project Follow Through for all of these years.

The closer you get to the impact of illiteracy in people's lives, the less you're willing to tolerate and stay silent about.

Educational leadership conferences are largely a scam focused on vague platitudes and inspirational mumbo jumbo, when the average principal believes in a long list of bad ideas that include emphasizing anything but the instruction that will get kids to learn the material.

🚨 New episode is now live! I’m joined (anonymously) by two teachers who changed their approach to math instruction after seeing too many students struggle. Their students started below the national average & finished well above it. We talk about Illustrative Math, productive struggle, how to work around a faulty math curriculum & more! 🎧 Listen below #ChalkandTalk #MathEducation #Teaching

PISA 2025 offers telling tale about what really constitutes a good education system

Yes, I keep a digital calendar, but every Sunday, I write out my meetings for the week. Before anything else, I always write ‘student achievement’—a reminder to stay focused despite competing priorities. As leaders, we must be relentless in our focus.

🚨 New episode of Chalk & Talk is now live! Brian Poncy is back to discuss the results from a large implementation of Facts on Fire. Did students improve in math fact fluency? Yes! But what about broader math outcomes? Check out the YouTube version to see the data! 🎧 Link below

A good reminder as many of us begin another school year: We have an obligation to keep learning about how students learn and to let that knowledge inform how we teach and lead. Thank you @Doug_Lemov
