I would rather see all the effective classroom instruction that Sean Morrisey engages in become the national trend--that, I believe, is what will move the needle for students.

True but you need to appreciate what a teacher this excited and motivated and attentive to the details provides — it is everything. When the culture is “what book are you reading” in 5th grade vs what else our culture is enticing them towards? We can never appreciate teachers like this enough

It was great to meet the @Gate14Pod crew today. We appreciated their time and the conversation.

Joey Knows!

We actually do know how to remediate, it's just that schools and school districts don't want to dedicate the resources to make it happen. It is far more cost-effective in the short term just to water things down, inflate grades, and pass kids along.

You should read @tombennett71 's book "Running the Room". Most educators have been saying this for a long time. It's the outside community that's just catching up!

I agree. It feels counterintuitive but rather than research coming down from academia into practice, academics are increasingly having to look at schools to see what evidence informed instruction actually looks like.

I’m excited to be presenting at researchED Toronto 2026! Oral language is foundational to reading, writing, and academic success—but it can easily become something we expect students to develop rather than something we explicitly teach. My session, “Bridging Research and Practice: Three High-Impact Oral Language Strategies Every K–3 Teacher Can Use Tomorrow,” will focus on moving from research to practical classroom instruction. My goal is simple: teachers should leave with strategies they can actually use the very next day—because evidence-based practice matters most when we can translate it into effective instruction. Looking forward to connecting with educators in Toronto this October! @researchED1 @researchEDCan #researchED #researchEDToronto #OralLanguage #LiteracyInstruction #StructuredLiteracy #EvidenceBasedPractice

The extent of the PISA gap between England + other western European countries is extraordinary. In reading, the 25% most disadvantaged pupils in England outperformed the average for *all* students in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Norway etc... A decade ago there was no gap

Rosenshine citing Jean Chall on the convergent findings of the science of learning told his audience: “[I]t is not the research, Jean said, the research on the foundations of have been the same since the 1920s; it is those who are refusing to accept the findings of the research”.
