Coming out of hibernation to say how grateful I am to @researchED_US and everyone who made #researchEDG possible, especially @HealJim and those like @C_Hendrick, @teacherhead, @tombennett71, and @HoratioSpeaks who crossed oceans to be here. What a wonderful community.
I think this will be among the best things I’ll ever attend. @researchEdhome
Thanks, @educationweek & @Stephen_Sawchuk, for including me in this piece. Was a nice bonus to be quoted alongside @ReadingShanahan & @Doug_Lemov. edweek.org/teaching-learn… Also: I think I may have to return to blogging so I can say more about my reading quizzes. I swear by 'em.
School is an staggering success of modern society. Sure, there's plenty of scope for improvement, but what has been achieved to date is simply remarkable. A thread: ↓

Kids love what they know how to do. In English class, if we hold back on the challenging stuff, we aren’t teaching them to love literacy. At best, we’re encouraging them to enjoy but a small part of it.

…also a respect for practitioner experience and clear-eyed earnestness about the limitations of what research can currently say about practice. So not preachy — grounded and intellectual in the best way! (4/x)
Full disclosure: I came as an attendee but have presented at other @researchED1 conferences, so I have a bias: I find the whole concept encouraging and very much needed. Imagine a day like this but laser-focused on literacy! 🤓 (6/6)
Huge thanks @MJMA_Ed and his team for their service and support at researchEDG, and the staff of Greenwich High School and the Greenwich Board of Education. May you reap many times over what you have sown through this event!

Some heated discourse about behaviour today on X. I like this thread.
Where the controversy comes, of course, is in what to do about these insights once we have acknowledged them as true. This debate can often *feel* as though educators have a binary choice - respond to the behaviour OR respond to the need the behaviour communicates.

I think Carl has the right take here. It’s true that many CogSci takeaways come largely from a lab, or a non-ELA classroom, but that doesn’t negate their utility to practitioners. Rosenshine himself pointed out that literary analysis didn’t necessarily lend…
I think there's some truth in this. Most of the findings from cognitive science are from Maths, Science or language acquisition. However language development + "literary thinking" are subject to the same limitations of memory and cognitive biases that all human thinking is…
