@MarsdenRoad @EricaStanfordMP What an honour to welcome a delegation of New Zealand principals, led by the NZ Minister of Education, to MRPS who visited to observe our learning culture. Conversations like these remind us that great education is a global conversation.

Another reminder from the brilliant @HollyLanePhD 👇
Not all “evidence” is created equal.
If an intervention can’t point to randomized control trials, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses…it’s not strong evidence.
Parents & educators:
➡️ Demand quality
➡️ Ask for the research
➡️ Watch for snake oil

Based on 2 weeks in Australia, I have some thoughts.
Aussies seem to have more knowledge of cognitive science than US teachers, but they don't yet have as much access to effective curriculum resources. Teachers need both.
