🚨Most kids don’t know how learning works. 🧠 So I’m starting my 7th grade class with a 10-day crash course on memory, retrieval, metacognition, myths, and why real learning is hard—and that’s the point. It’s not fun. It’s foundational. Blog here 👇📖 open.substack.com/pub/solinthewi…

In our series on literacy & the science of learning, @dylanwiliam’s first two episodes set the bar high. I’m up this week and have tried to get close to his standard. Topics today are fluency and attention. Hope you can listen.
Season 3 is at top level and absolutely on topic that I had to listen to season one and two that focus on reading. A must listen for everyone who teaches language or novels. Already pre-ordered The Science of Reading by @Doug_Lemov to install all of this next school year.

The AfD - the very political party Elon Musk prominently supported during the German election campaign - has now been classified as right-wing extremist by Germany's federal office for the protection of the constitution. This is how bad it is. And people should know.
