Cognitive Load Theory is one of the most useful frameworks in education. It tells us that working memory is limited, that extraneous complexity impedes learning, that beginners and experts have different instructional needs. All of that is true. But it's only ¼ of the story.🧵
Oneida language students at East Carling PS unveiled a new book vending machine full of books by Indigenous authors, courtesy of Start2Finish! 📖 Students who "get caught reading" are entered to win tokens for the machine – and their new book is theirs to keep (or share).📚📖
A Harvard professor who has written 9 books and spent 40 years studying how language works inside the human brain just gave the most important writing masterclass I've ever seen. Here's what he said that broke my entire understanding of writing. Steven Pinker, the professor, opened with a single question: why is so much writing terrible? Not just academic writing, but corporate writing, government writing, and even most blog posts. His answer had nothing to do with effort or intelligence. He called it the Curse of Knowledge. The moment you understand something deeply, you lose the ability to remember what it felt like not to know it. You stop seeing your own blind spots because the blind spots feel like common ground. He watched a brilliant molecular biologist destroy a room of 400 people at a TED event. The man launched straight into jargon without ever explaining the problem he was solving or why anyone should care. The biologist had no idea it was happening. That's the curse. Then he said something I haven't stopped thinking about. Bad writing is not a character flaw. It's a failure of empathy. You cannot get inside your reader's head by trying harder. You have to actually find a real human being and watch them read your words in real time. He showed his drafts to his mother. Not because she was unsophisticated, but because she wasn't a cognitive psychologist. She was smart, well-read, and completely outside his world. When she lost the thread, he knew something was wrong. The second thing he said changed how I think about every sentence I write. Language is a delivery system, not the destination. What your reader actually understands is not the words. It is the image, the sensation, the concrete thing those words are supposed to summon. If your reader cannot picture it, they have not understood it. He asked: what is a paradigm? What does a framework look like? What color is a concept? Nobody could answer. Because abstractions produce nothing in the mind's eye. The writers from two centuries ago who still feel alive today were forced to think visually because they had no abstractions to hide behind. They had to say the spirit of the hawk tore into our flesh instead of aggression. The image did the work that the jargon could not. The third thing he said was the one most people ignore completely. Brevity is not about word count. It is about removing every word that makes the reader work harder without rewarding them for it. He quoted a line he had memorized for 40 years: omit needless words. Three words. An instruction that is also an example of itself. He said the best thing that ever happened to his writing was editors who gave him an 800-word limit and wouldn't budge. The constraint always improved the piece. Always. The curse of knowledge is real. The fix is simple and most people never do it. Find one person outside your world. Show them what you wrote. Watch their face, not the page.
[New Post] Ontario Math Links - My favourite #math related links from this week: ontariomath.blogspot.com/2026/02/math-l… Links and help from @OAMEtalks @howie_hua @edutopia @artWorld and more #mathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath
🧩 WORKED EXAMPLES! In this week’s edition of ⚗️DistillED, I unpack what worked examples are, why they reduce cognitive load, and how they help students move from watching expert thinking to applying it independently in the classroom. Have a read: newsletter.jamieleeclark.com/p/worked-examp…
Dylan Wiliam calls Cognitive Load Theory “the single most important thing for teachers to know.” This guide summarises core CLT ideas and highlights six high-impact strategies for reducing overload. It focuses on the classroom levers teachers can pull right away. CLT goes much deeper, of course — transient information included — but these strategies offer some of the fastest gains. 💪 Free HQ copy if you want it: jamieleeclark.com/graphics

You're probably familiar with students counting out loud as a class, but imagine what happens when the conversations when students start counting at 1 1/2 and increase by 2 1/4 each time. Read more about what happens from Sadie Estrella: iamamathnerd.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/cou…
What number comes next? How do you know? The decimals square is great for visualising tenths, hundredths, thousandths (and further!) mathsbot.com/tools/decimalS…
How would you explain division? There are two ways we can think about division and understanding these models can help with fraction division.
Printable bar models. Super simple to use, great for building fluency. I'll often set the whole to 180 (like in the screenshot) before starting work on angles. mathsbot.com/printables/bars
Targeted math fact warm up idea…
Students in my math class will all complete about 10,000 math facts in the first 26 days of school. Then we will move to these types of mental math exercises. I use the first 5 minutes of class daily on these exercises. I will try to post these exercises as I go.
@cjansseune @tvdsbmathk8 @KnollwoodPark1 You should post one of these on the J/I “On Track with Math” bulletin board 😊
