Research without action is just talk. ResearchEd Toronto made space for the candid, sometimes uncomfortable truths that actually move practice forward. @nsachdeva2019 @researchED_US @researchEDCan #rEDTO2026 @researchED_US

A through-line to Anita Archer’s talk: evidence based practice resides at the convergence of the Sciences of Literacy & Math, the Science of Learning, & the Science of Instruction. @researchEDCan

Three Books That Matter: UK Schools Minister Nick Gibb identifies three books that sparked the English school system reforms, ED Hirsch (1996), Dan T Willingham (2009), Daisy Christodoulou (2014). All were popularized by @researchED1 and informed the reforms #rEDTO2026 #cdned

Failing the Test Again: Why is Nova Scotia engaged in conducting student assessments? Nova Scotia AG reports it's unclear & likely a matter of "compliance." Student results are NOT used to improve student learning, teaching, or curriculum reform #cdned saltwire.com/nova-scotia/hal…

Nice to see Louisa Moats getting this recognition: profile in @TIME time.com/article/2026/09/23/…

AG report may be more optimistic than warranted. How many students had text read to them by a reader or AT—or, in writing, used a scribe? If students cannot decode the text, we have not taught them to be proficient readers.

Whatever book you pick up, it’s likely to make you feel better—maybe even a whole lot better. “In a secular age, I suspect that reading fiction is one of the few remaining paths to transcendence, that elusive state in which the distance between the self and the universe shrinks,” Ceridwen Dovey writes, in “Can Reading Make You Happier?,” which was published in 2015.

A comment on my latest episode captures a big part of the reason kids are not proficient in math. A) Bad curriculum/program (in this case Illustrative Math) B) Administrators more worried about compliance than whether kids can actually do math. The priorities are backwards.
