@mcglynn3 @Standards_Work Thrilled to finally have someone from #knowledgematterscampaign in Cicero @D99Cicero

Werk in je rekenles een voorbeeld uit op het bord, laat het overnemen, bestuderen, in eigen woorden verklaren én stel er vragen over. @KnowledgeMatrs

🚧The Worked Example Effect🚨 In Ep. 5 of the #KnowledgeMatters Podcast you’ll hear @natwexler and John Sweller discuss the findings of The Worked Example Effect! ✅Studying exemplars + worked examples produces BETTER problem solvers than ❌simply engaging in problem solving!🤯

Just listened to this, and I didn't want it to end. Looking forward to episode 6 next week.

Like peer tutoring, it asks students to put an explanation in their own, clear, words. And as writers know, you really know it if you can put it down clearly so someone else can get it!

Writing prompts that require elaboration can improve learning in the classroom. However, inexperienced writers can experience cognitive overload. Natalie Wexler explains how teachers can ease this burden and improve learning. One of my favorite episode of the series!

In history classrooms, students don’t just memorize. They wrestle with ideals and contradictions. With choices and consequences. With humanity. Read @levey_matt48204 thoughtful article here: tinyurl.com/438ku7ht @KnowledgeMatrs #HistoryMatters

In this episode @natwexler applies research on cognitive load theory to writing in powerful and practical ways!

“If America is, as Lincoln called it, ‘the last best hope of earth,’ we need to demand more of our instructional materials—more knowledge, more understanding, and a greater sense of civics, history, and self.” @levey_matt48204 educationnext.org/what-joe-rogan… #KnowledgeMatters

Want to explore the links between literacy & cognitive science? This new 6-episode podcast provides an accessible way to do it. My 2 episodes focus on writing. The first drops today & the second on 7.29. @TheWritingRevol Find out more in my new post: open.substack.com/pub/nataliewex…

🙌

Without an understanding of human cognitive architecture, instruction is blind, says Sweller. Indeed, this is why we have structured literacy and unstructured math, and we explicitly teach kids PowerPoint, but not the content they need to put inside the PowerPoint.

✏️🪩Are you ready for it?!?📕⌨️ 🎉Episode 5 of the #KnowledgeMatters Podcast is LIVE! Host @natwexler discusses Memory and the Writing Effect with guests Jeff Karpicke from @Purdue and John Sweller, Developer of Cognitive Load Theory! 📝🧠 🎧Listen here: tinyurl.com/ynnhd8jd

Apuntes sobre la importancia no de la lectura como tal, sino de la lectura de libros en clase. No fragmentos; libros.

Just finished episode 4 of this season, highly recommend this whole series on reading and cognitive science.

I wish lit circles would go away. Whole class novel studies are superior in so many ways!

This quote immediately made me think of Jimmy Dugan in A League of Their Own!

@KnowledgeMatrs Which studies would you say definitely prove right now that explicit teaching outmasters discovery learning or problem solving for secondary education? @dylanwiliam @Doug_Lemov @DTWillingham @C_Hendrick #Knowledgematters #Edu

So great to see classrooms reading books! #GetKidsReading 📕
