When Tier 1 is the engine driving everything: Achievement increases Misbehaviors decline Learning happen Stop throwing money, programs, interventions & the kitchen sink at Tiers 2 & 3. Tier 1 is where our work is & the problems get solved. It requires intentional design. #EduSky #EduCoach

Scaffolds are meant to be TEMPORARY. Otherwise, we'd still be looking at the Statue of Liberty like this... It's no different for learning. Scaffolds were meant to be used & then eventually taken down. #EduSky #EduCoach

What do you notice about SCAFFOLDS? -Designed for access to make things "reachable" -Specific to the task at hand -Support & safety focused -Can be modified or moved -Meant to be temporary No different than the scaffolds we put in place for the learners in our rooms. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Teaching vs Learning One produces cooks who heat up the dishes given to them. The other trains up chefs who become masters at inventing culinary creations. One is status quo. The other gets us the improvement we've been chasing. Time to change the recipe. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Whew, it sure is cold outside! A chillier environment for some of our kids can be a classroom with: Little trust Little care Little belonging No amount of scarves or overcoats changes that. The adults in the school can & should. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Let's stop using the word, "mistake" whenever kids get things wrong. Call them what they really are: Discoveries! Imagine what could happen if we sought out & celebrated these "discoveries" during learning instead of harping on mistakes. There's magic in mistakes! #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

A classroom of students. All working individually at their desks. A bright light is showing from the center student's desk above his work. An analogy for how mistakes are discoveries in learning.

The ONLY instructional strategy with a NEGATIVE effect size: Lecturing. -0.26 or 1/2 a year's loss Why? It's passive. There's no room for engagement or interaction necessary for deep understanding & skill development. Just a lot of one person talking. #EduSky #EduCoach

Classroom full of bored or sleeping students with a teacher standing at the lectern.

We've been teaching for a long time now. But the job has always been to design for learning to happen. It's not more work, just different work. Learning Design has an effect size of 0.70 or nearly 2 years' learning potential. Design for Learning! It works for us & for them. #EduSky #EduCoach

Instead of our conversations around all the kid CAN'Ts: Can't read Can't calculate Can't behave Can't achieve Can't (fill in the blank), Shift them to what kids CAN & WILL do when we design learning that works for them. Now there's something to talk about! #EduSky

What's worse for learning? Being absent from school? OR Being bored at school? Both have an effect size of -0.46 or a over a year's worth of lost learning potential This means we need to place as much urgency on getting learners engaged as we do getting them to school #EduSky #LearningbyDesign

Hey #EduSky The first 10 min of class, kids are most: Excited Curious Motivated Primed for Learning But often we waste all that potential with Openers that do the opposite. Openers should ALWAYS: -Bring prior knowledge up -Create Curiosity Here's 5 pages of ideas 👇 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The only 2 questions that every educational leader needs to answer on a daily basis... They ARE the job. If you don't have an answer, then the next question is, "What got in the way?" #EduSky

You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first. If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I. That's the hard, simple truth of it. #EduSky

Jason Kennedy | Let's Stop Teaching & Design Learning @letsquitteaching.com · 14/11/2024

Tier 1 is where the equity work begins. 1. All kids can & want to learn. 2. Our job is to design the learning for them to do so. No excuses on our part for anything less. However they come to us, that's our job. #EduSky

If I had one tip for any educator at any grade level of any subject, it would be this. Incorporate success criteria into everything you do everyday. Turn the learning back over to the learners Put scaffolds in place between levels Create self-regulators This will change your room #EduSky

Teachers wanted a clear picture of active learning in the classroom. This was the result. It spawned a book & website with practical guidance & AI tools as well. Check it out and let me know what you think educators! #EduSky

Data doesn't tell us about the kids. Data helps us ask questions on how we can best serve the kids & design their learning. #EduSky

Labels are good for folders, not so much for learners. Our job as educators is to turn a perceived "disability" into "this ability." Read more HERE 👇 letsquitteaching.com/labels-good-...

When deep & transferrable learning isn't happening, take a look at your learners' cognitive loads. We can't control it all, but we can Monitor, Minimize & Maximize what we can in order to design to get the learning we want.
