"students who watched the lecture with attentive (vs. inattentive) confederates reported being more attentive and they learned more of the lecture content—performing 12% better on a post-lecture quiz. They also perceived the lecture as more important..."
We know that attention is central to every learning task and the quality of attention paid by learners shapes the outcome of learning endeavors.
Part of attentiveness is individual. Some people are more attentive than others and have better skills/habits in terms of their attention.
But is attention also partly social? Does the environment in which students learn influence their attentiveness?

This is exactly it. We said school wasn't "essential," that "remote" learning was the same as in-person. People listened
"the biggest driver of absenteeism is a change in the culture of attendance. Post-pandemic, missing school is not such a big deal..."

Amen.
We make this too hard by cherry picking & dunking on any possible negative no matter if it is representative of the whole
Wit & Wisdom is one of the few rigorous, content-rich, text-based programs. It’s not perfect but it’s not activist indoctrination

There's a pretty clear pattern here of growing achievement gaps.
As @natmalkus has shown, the same pattern shows up in other subjects as well: aei.org/education/long-term-…

“Students who were distracted by smartphones in math class scored 15 points lower on PISA math tests than students who did not report being distracted.”
"You don't need to be an expert on pedagogy to understand how distracting and potentially toxic smartphones could be in classrooms." Indeed. OPINION: Quality testing data shows why smartphones have no place in classrooms vicnews.com/opinion/opinion-…

This is what’s wrong w balanced literacy, this is why the Science of Reading is important.

Big if true.
@mattyglesias is right. The most important and valuable thing I have learned reporting on the science of learning is that children *can* learn through teaching.

We moved our kids to parochial MS and HS, where they each have already just this year read 4-5 books (and it's only Feb). At my son's previous middle school, he'd read 0 in two years. Zero whole books!
This was the most astonishing thing about teaching freshmen at Cornell this fall: students who had never read anything longer than a reading comprehension excerpt for the SAT. slate.com/human-interest/202…

#CatholicEducation wouldn’t be the same without Jill Kafka’s work to transform the management model of urban schools. After 20+ years, Jill’s retiring from @PartnershipPost at year’s end. TY Jill for all you have done for our schools!
