OKC is off today, but I’ll be sharing some general thoughts here from NBA Summer League. Huge thanks to @SuaveCEO_ for helping me get here!
"Why aren’t evidence-based programs scaffolding Ss to math fact fluency...already an integral part of education? The answer is misguidance from influential educators." thewellnews.com/opinions/poor-… @brian_poncy is quoted in the article! @rastokke @amandavande1 @MrZachG @Beanie0597
PaTTan just published thier 2025 virtual math conference sessions on YouTube. Lots of great information from fantastic math researchers including @MrZachG @pjr146 @rastokke @rscodding
Still a few spots left for a webinar - 7-14-2025 But I’ve Already Tried That!: What To Do When the Reading Intervention Didn't Work – @readingwithtlc share.google/FpBELyl9EZdJqI… @ILAToday @CECMembership @nasponline @reading_league @leadforliteracy @DyslexiaIDA
John Mighton is one of the most genuine and humble people I have ever met. I’ve known him for over 10 years now, and he continues to amaze me. He’s done so much great work for Canadian kids.
MAKING MATH STICK: Canada's national treasure, John Mighton, founder of @JUMP_Math does it again. He makes Math understandable and that's a tremendous gift. Ty @johnmighton for your support from the very beginning. You are the trailblazer! #rEDTO25 #JUMPMath
“What I discovered was that the degree to which a school was progressive was the degree to which its standards were weak” (@NickGibbUK). This is another great listen, courtesy of @rastokke 👇👇👇
🚨 Fantastic new episode is here! England reversed its academic decline—and now ranks 4th in reading on PIRLS and highest-performing non-Asian country on TIMSS. Former Minister @NickGibbUK shares how evidence-based reforms in reading & math made it happen. Link below ⬇️
OKC is heading to the NBA Finals. For the first time since 2012, the Thunder is the champion of the Western Conference, and it did so in the same way it's won games all season — with intense, physical defense. @TheSuaveReport // #ThunderUp thesuavereport.com/2025/05/28/thu…
Chalk & Talk: The host of Canada's best education research podcast Dr. Anna Stokke will take on unsubstantiated "Research Says" claims in K-12 education. Join Us for that #rEDTO25 session on Sat June 7 at TEMC, 8:30 to 4:30 pm #mathed #MathTalk Over to @OAMEcounts #ONTed #ONed
People tend to overcomplicate playoff basketball. Role players are key, legacy games happen and officials impact games. But, if a team's stars show up, it wins. On Thursday, SGA, JDub and Chet showed up. @TheSuaveReport // #ThunderUp thesuavereport.com/2025/05/22/thu…
In the last 12 years, OKC has had 3 MVPs. Each has been unique, not only on the court, but in the way they represented the state of the Thunder franchise. Here is my piece for @TheSuaveReport comparing the three MVP seasons and what each meant to OKC. thesuavereport.com/2025/05/21/mvp…
You know those conferences in hotel ballrooms with round tables w tablecloths? Yeah, that's not how ResearchEd is ever. The passion of the frontline leaders & teachers is contagious & it's hosted in a local school. It's a packed day of learning & a pub party at the end. I love…
When faced with a skill hierarchy as tall as this, the top-down approach to learning completely falls apart. The learning has to happen bottom-up. A top-down approach can be useful for planning a broad-strokes learning journey towards a goal. For instance, if you want to learn…
Math is relentlessly hierarchical. That’s why mastering prereq skills is crucial. Huge respect for @ninja_maths who produced the following knowledge graph. It shows just how complex the mathematical web of knowledge is. Strong mathematical foundations set kids up for success.
If you had told OKC fans heading into Game 5 that Lu Dort would be the hero, most would've called you crazy. Regardless of what some thought, Dort swung Game 5 in a moment that will go down in franchise history. @TheSuaveReport //#ThunderUp thesuavereport.com/2025/05/13/i-d…
