Making great writers starts with a single sentence. Grateful for the chance to present with @jordanpridemore.bsky.social at ICTE today on how small, intentional steps can transform reluctant writers into confident ones.

To this day, I remember some of my multiplication facts because of the songs we learned in class—Times Table Tunes!
We’d sit on the carpet, look at a times table on the projector and sing the songs. I still catch myself singing the lyrics when doing basic math problems.

We know that spicing up a learning activity by adding movement can enhance student memory—pairing the word “airplane” with pretending to be one, for example—but do we know by how much?

Pike township schools stand to lose over $10 million in operating costs under the new property tax cap
Hoosiers don't need schools that are more poorly funded- school funding has dropped dramatically over the last 2 decades
Senate bill 1 is terrible

Hey, #hoosiersky, esp. Muncie and Kokomo, your rep co-sponsors this bill. You think our state education chaos is bad enough, without the federal DOE, it will be 10X worse. Reach out to Rep. Spartz. Save the DOE.

Welcome to Indiana: Where we combat illiteracy by making sure no one has books to read.
Trump likes Indiana schools. Are they winning the war on ‘woke’ he wants to fight?

Trump said he likes Indiana schools. Are they meeting his goal of defeating ‘woke’?
The available evidence doesn’t clearly show that the statutes targeting curriculum, library books, and transgender students have accomplished their stated goals. But there’s reason to believe they’re increasing families’ interest in vouchers.
