🧠 Why Don’t Students Like School? by @DTWillingham is one of the most influential books for teachers on cognitive science. It explores how students’ minds work and how to use this knowledge to be a better teacher.

This is a direct, even brutal, assessment of the two far ends of the coaching continuum, from a source I found about business coaching.
I incorporated it into this section of the WalkThrus OnPoint.

Proud 🥹
Phonics [FON-iks]
Evidence shows us that a systematic synthetic phonics approach is the most effective way to help our little ones develop essential early reading skills.
That's why we're so proud to be rolling the Phonics Plus program out across the state - setting our kids up with literacy skills for life and reducing the workload of teachers.
Whether it's new schools, better classrooms or contemporary teaching resources - we're investing in what matters to students, teachers and parents.

It was great to re-engage at the SWVR MTSS pilot @AcademyVIC in Geelong - this time with my school Garrang Wilam PS. It was great to build a greater understanding of the four step problem solving process. Terrific learning and discussions - and even a video cameo from @rachabuck – at Geelong, Victoria

Data-driven instruction only makes sense if the data makes sense. And much of the data used to guide reading instruction doesn't.
