Very lucky to work with principals like @lagosherlock! Looking forward to year 5!
Woah, @benzulauf2 does it again! Another D99 Cicero Literacy Symposium that simultaneously leaves me proud of the work we have done in @D99Cicero and ready to conquer the next chapter! Sherlock’s next move to systematize and align our fluency instruction loading….
Thanks for making the drive up this morning! @D99Cicero is just trying to play catch up with you.
The Cicero D99 Summer Literacy Symposium was absolutely worth the 2.5-hour drive this morning! A day full of knowledge, learning, and best practices to take back to our teams. Thanks to @benzulauf2 and the entire crew for hosting a fantastic event!
Glad you could make it!
Thanks, @benzulauf2 for hosting this great symposium!
Can’t wait for the Summer Literacy Symposium! Thanks to @benzulauf2 for hosting us! @Amplify #SOLinD99
How do you know what information to include and what to omit? You guess…Ts make assumptions about what their students know all the time. These are critical decisions for students’ ability to understand the information—huge implications! @DTWillingham @D99Cicero
We’ll see you soon! @D99Cicero @Amplify @DTWillingham @SoniaCabell @mcglynn3
Every few years we rediscover that learning is hard work and effortful in the short term. Then we spend the next few years trying to make it fun and effortless again.

I used to think resistance to "learning is memory" was genuine confusion, but now I think it's mostly laziness. If you accept that learning is memory, then you have to accept that maximizing learning requires memory-supporting training techniques. But those techniques are…
