I’m excited to share that I will be considering accepting a new graduate student for the upcoming application cycle. My research focuses on learning, metacognition, and education. Application Deadline: January 1st. montana.edu/psychology/gradp…
Took a little winter road trip and listened to @Grandaddy's terrific new album, Blu Wav, on repeat. @jasonlytle and crew have done it again! Cheers from Bozeman

⭐️⭐️ Early contender for most useful study of the year⭐️⭐️
15 ways to use PowerPoint more effectively for learning. Very practical tips.
Will blog about it soon, but in the meantime check out table 6 in the study. It’s not behind a paywall either 🔐🤩

Highly impactful advice from @DTWillingham on how to be an effective student. A podcast to share with your students: ollielovell.com/errr/danielw…
Sad to hear of the passing of Endel Tulving. He had a MASSIVE impact on the scientific study of human memory and paved the way for so many in the field, including myself.

To all my fellow educators: Elizabeth Bjork and I just published a CLASSROOM STUDY showing that students' learning can profit *significantly* from short, low-stakes pretests (given right before lectures). Questions/comments are always welcome! rdcu.be/dlqsE
I just heard someone say that if a child is running around the classroom and not listening to the teacher, perhaps the kid isn't an auditory learner. And...
...if the kid is a visual learner, the teacher should use hand signals or give the kid a picture of a chair.

HUGELY excited that we can finally reveal this gamechanging resource for KS3 science.
Every week, a different head of science or senior leader calls me asking for help with KS3 resourced.
Springboard Science is the answer.
Read on for why it's just so revolutionary:

This is really nice! One thing I'd add is that interleaving--when in the form of math problems, for example--gets students to CHOOSE the appropriate strategy, rather than simply execute it. BLOCKING = executing; INTERLEAVING = choosing + executing
