Speaking as a teacher, having a quality curriculum to implement means I can leverage my time to give specific feedback, intervene, examine progress, collaborate/reflect… Don’t make us develop our own instruction. There are much wiser uses of our time and talent.

Speaking as a parent, if you honestly believe that making sure teachers have decent curriculum is evil, then your own kids aren't in public schools. Once you see what kids learn, and how widely it varies from classroom to classroom in the same building, you can never unsee it.

‘Engagement’ as it’s usually meant in EDU means lots of student chatter, team-building, collaboration, games, ‘problem-solving’… But keep in mind- all that stuff that people in EDU love to see doesn’t mean there is any: learning taking place. Beware of head-in-clouds hype.

What does it say about a profession when you’re constantly being told to practice self care? If recovery from a job is so crucial, then perhaps something else needs to change.

Call it whatever you want. Understanding the basics about memory and attention as they pertain to learning allows teachers to leverage this knowledge to improve their effectiveness. No need to suggest political or conspiratorial motives. We don’t have time to waste.

Many of you are old pros at this, but I’ve recently started publicly sharing what I’ve been working very hard on for the past 4 years. To hear that it’s informative, useful for practice, and resonating with people is more rewarding than any new degree or title could be.

Acknowledging that achievement gives rise to motivation, I’m thinking about implications for teacher PD/PL. Do motivational speakers understand that we need information that leads to improved teaching outcomes more than we need feel-good talks?
