⚗️ This week's DistillED, part two of the Cognitive Load Theory series, looks at element interactivity. Drawing on John Sweller's work, it explains why a short task with tightly connected parts can ask more of working memory than a long list of separate facts. newsletter.jamieleeclark.com…

🎙️ Teach Smarter: The Science of Learning is officially official on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! I encourage you to check out our two most recent episodes: one on attention with @AmberBHaven and @XpatEducator and another on automaticity with @mommagordon2 and @katie_a_baker If you missed our inaugural episode a couple of months ago, check that one out, too! We break down the modal model of memory with @helenrey and @S_Oberle and explore what it means for teaching and learning. Across every episode, @StamStam193 and I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice by hearing directly from teachers in the classroom who share concrete, practical applications of the science of learning that any teacher can use in any context. The goal is always to connect what we know about how learning works with what teachers can do to make learning more effective in their classrooms. Give us a listen! 🎧

“Every bit of extraneous load uses up working memory that could be focused on learning.” @XpatEducator When we’re intentional about how we teach, we create space for what matters: thinking and learning. Less mental clutter, more room to learn.👇youtube.com/watch?v=D9bsjqNq…

Register for this FREE DistillED webinar with me and fellow expat educator @HughesHaili As evidence-informed practices spread through schools, they can become simplified, standardised or distorted until the original purpose gets lost. These are lethal mutations: practices that may still look right on the surface, but no longer work in the way they were intended. In this 45-minute session, Haili will unpack lethal mutations and how and why they happen, using research and real classroom examples. If you're a teacher, PD lead or school leader trying to embed evidence-informed practice, this one is for you. 📅 Saturday 24 October 🇦🇺 5:00 pm AWST / 8:00 pm AEDT 🇬🇧 10:00 am BST 🇺🇸 5:00 am EDT REPOST THIS & REGISTER luma.com/aott82if

My new book, Building Belonging in Schools, is out next month. It’s available for pre-order now. I’m convinced that we can really shift the experience that kids have in schools, and make them places where they love to go. This book is my attempt to set out how.
