Look what I'm holding in my hands today. 😍😍😍 In NYC today, doing a session and they already have copies of the book! I can barely believe it. @New_Old_Paul Wow! Feeling so grateful, beyond words.

Una clase puede parecer dinámica, bien organizada y amena, aunque el aprendizaje que se genere sea mínimo. Los alumnos pueden estar comprometidos física, emocional o incluso socialmente, pero nada de eso dice nada sobre el aprendizaje. @New_Old_Paul @nsachdeva2019

Lo que realmente importa es que los alumnos reflexionen profundamente sobre los temas adecuados y que estén comprometidos cognitivamente (lo cual puede ser un proceso muy silencioso y solitario). @New_Old_Paul & @nsachdeva2019

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

I don't think anyone should underestimate the level of challenge involved in this work, at every step in the "food chain". Universities are the hardest nut to crack, so for now, we must rely on policy-makers for the top-down aspects. Classroom teachers are doing an amazing job on the bottom-up part of the heavy lifting. I wrote about this uneven workload distribution in late 2024: pamelasnow.blogspot.com/2024…

“Teach the stuff and cut the fluff!” ~Dr. Anita Archer Very wise words BUT I think this advice should apply to more than just classroom instruction- it should apply to teacher professional learning, too!! That’s one of the reasons why I love the researchED Canada conference so much! I truly learn more in one day at a researchED conference than I learn in an entire year of district-wide professional development. Why? Because the focus is on bringing in education experts and leading researchers in the areas of cognitive science, literacy, mathematics and evidence-informed instruction, and not on creating an elaborate venue complete with expensive frills! A fancy conference venue, white linen tablecloths and a 3-course meal do not help me become a better teacher-access to knowledge, empirical research and practical instructional strategies does. If we genuinely believe that every student deserves a knowledgeable, well-trained teacher, shouldn’t we be working to make high-quality professional learning affordable and accessible to EVERY teacher? Teachers shouldn’t have to spend hundreds—or thousands—of dollars out of pocket to access the knowledge they need to improve student outcomes- Professional learning shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for those who can afford it!! So perhaps it’s time we applied Anita Archer’s advice to teacher training and conferences, too: TEACH THE STUFF. CUT THE FLUFF. Because ultimately, the measure of a successful conference isn’t how impressive the venue was or how inspired teachers felt when they left. It’s what teachers learned, what they changed in their classrooms, and whether those changes improved student learning. Thank you @nsachdeva2019 and @researchEDCan, as well as @tombennett71 at @researchED1 for continuing to prioritize substance over spectacle. You are leading the way for affordable, high quality conferences for educators across Canada and the world! #TeacherTraining #AnitaArcher #TeachTheStuffAndCutTheFluff

She goes deep into each of the sciences in her training. With a ton of references to studies and boox recomendations to study further.

I've spent the day reviewing my notes and the vimeo from yesterday's @researchEDCan in Toronto. I was thrilled to spend the day with several members of my board and have the honour of speaking with Anita Archer, Kareem Weaver, and Nice Gibb. Amazing day! @nsachdeva2019

They say a picture can speak a thousand words. No caption needed. My face says it all! 😂 (Thank you @nsachdeva2019 for capturing this moment!!) In ONE WORD, how would you describe what I’m feeling in this photo? @researchEDCan
