We're so excited to chat with you in the Fall!
Wow, lots of new followers over the last couple of days, so allow myself to introduce myself.
I’m about to begin my 19th year teaching 7th Grade World Studies at a middle school in Omaha, Nebraska. GBR!
About two years ago, I began to process of completely changing the way I teach, grounding my practice in cognitive science, the science of learning, explicit instruction, and a knowledge-rich curriculum. Those ideas are the focus of what I share here, as well as in longer-form writing on my Substack, SoL in the Wild: open.substack.com/pub/solint…
I also co-host a new podcast with the phenomenal @StamStam193 called Teacher Smarter: The Science of Learning. We talk with teachers about how they’re putting cognitive science into practice in real classrooms. You can listen here: bamradionetwork.com/genre/th…
Thanks for following along. I’m glad you’re here.
Smart teaching, stronger learning at all ages! Wrapping up Season 8 w 3 @SVVSD educators who continually refine their practice, but don't redo everything every year! Small shifts in language, error-analysis protocols, and reflection make a huge difference & directly translate to students owning their learning and staying curious! @SuzannahEvans2 @drshanesaeed @patricebain40 @LaPorteLindsay vrainwaves.simplecast.com/ep…
Looking for "bite-sized adjustments" you can make that will result in powerful shifts in students' learning? Smart Teaching, Stronger Learning should be your go-to resource! @Suzannahevans2 @drshanesaeed @StVrainOPD

Tune in for one of our most important episodes with educator, author, & speaker @jmattmiller. Facing an ever-changing educational system requires putting on our "Tomorrow Glasses", but it's still sound, fundamental pedagogy & relationships that are the foundation! So as we plan our lessons, let's ask ourselves, "I can use technology, but should I?vrainwaves.simplecast.com/ep… @SuzannahEvans2 @drshanesaeed @MrsLauer
