What I like here is that students begin by making their thinking visible: what they think they know, what they don’t know, and what they need to find out. That’s not the end of learning. It’s the beginning of judgment.

One student redesigned how her government could actually work for people. No civics textbook could teach what this project taught. youtube.com/watch?v=_vrZcY…

When Tier 1 instruction starts with how students actually learn, using hooks, chunked content, pauses for meaning-making, and cooperative processing, more students understand new learning the first time, & fewer students need Tier 2 or Tier 3. More: bit.ly/4fd4UGB

So how do you carve out time for targeted support without leaving the rest of the class behind or holding anyone back? Here are 4️⃣ instructional strategies that make that possible: bit.ly/3POTFqq #mtss #tier2

FWIW I’m referring to people who want to burn down the system because they believe it’s not worth trying to save. If you’re proactively involved in improving the system, pls weigh in as you like, even if we disagree. Sorry that wasn’t clear!

Call me a stickler, but if you regularly paint public school as “government school” and “taxpayer funded indoctrination”, where those who “don’t know what time it is” send their kids, your opinion on what is or isn’t included in the curriculum is not particularly relevant. 🤓

One of the most common objections I hear from teachers about station rotation is that it means planning 3 or 4 lessons instead of 1. But a typical lesson already has a warm-up, a mini-lesson, a paired discussion, and practice...that's already several activities happening in one period! 👀 Station rotation just asks you to take what's already there and decide which parts work better as a station.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out. The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing. Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees. The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in. Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal. The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals. The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion. This is your tax money. It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children. This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close. We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. google.com/url?q=https://…

Yesterday I posted that I am against the new Texas law requiring the Bible to be taught in public schools. I got a lot agreement, quite a few angry responses, and some genuine questions about why a Christian pastor would be against state-mandated Bible study. So, I decided to write an article about it. I hope it’s helpful. zachwlambert.substack.com/p/this-lifelon…

Will this be part of Texas's Bible study? Leviticus 19:33–34: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself.” open.substack.com/pub/charliesyk…

Imagine not wanting the government to infringe on your freedoms as a Christian while simultaneously working to have the government infringe on the freedoms of others in the name of Christianity and refusing to admit the blatant hypocrisy.

Texas taxpayers are once again being asked to foot the bill for another Texas Education Agency failure. According to recent reports, Texas will spend an additional $8 million to correct thousands of errors in the state’s controversial Bluebonnet Learning curriculum. The curriculum was sold to legislators and parents as a high-quality, state-approved solution that would improve student outcomes and provide districts with “free” instructional materials. It was never free. Click below to learn more and Share!! open.substack.com/pub/alicelinah…

Yes, absolutely, know your content and know it well. But more, know your kids and know them “weller.” We have to be expert connectors of content, not just experts of content. We teach humans.
