Here are three blog posts that I found interesting this week.
1. Avoiding lethal mutations – How schools can keep research alive and effective by Hali Hughes
Hali examines how potentially effective principles from research have been misapplied in schools—such as interleaving, growth mindset, and retrieval practice—and what schools can do about it.
2. 6 Habits That Quietly Harm Your Career, And How to Shift Them by Nimish Lad
Nimish examines six habits he has seen hold back himself or his colleagues, and suggests strategies to overcome them. How many can you relate to?
3. What I've Learned from Direct Instruction by Dylan Kane
Dylan took a deep dive into the Direct Instruction world, concluded that it was not for him, but found three principles that he has taken forward into his teaching. A great read!
