The Educator Force is strong within you. ⭐
ALT The Educator's Guide to May the 4th. A green hand holds a mirror to the viewer. Step 1: Look at yourself in the mirror. Step 2: Say "Capable, I am." Step 3: Say "Growing, I am." Step 4: Say "Appreciated, I am."

An open-question: Should we avoid the term “background’ knowledge?
This assumes that children must rely on experiences they either have had (or not).
Wouldn’t it be more equitable to say 'building knowledge’? This assumes a shared experience for all students in your class.

Show me a school where the teachers are happy, and I’ll show you a school where the teachers are trusted.

Giving pupils practice which replicates the test, is LESS effective than varying the conditions of practice.
That's right, coaching to the test does not develop long term learning. How are you making using of the Bjork's research on desirable difficulties in your teaching?

What if teachers were subjected to the kind of rewards-based classroom-management system (including a behavior chart) that's commonly used to control students? This thread describes the eye-opening results of a brief, informal experiment: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1…
