The Classroom Lie Series: Rereading is not Studying At home, we’ve been having some conversations with my oldest about college life. She’s a high school junior, so that’s one of the next big steps around the corner. It's led to many memories of my time in undergrad. As I was researching this classroom lie, I found myself thinking back on the spring of my sophomore year at Indiana University.

I spent my college finals re-reading notes and felt prepared. The research says I was wrong. Here's what actually builds long-term learning. 👇 #RetrievalPractice #TheClassroomLie #EdResearch #TeacherPD #CogSci #EdChat

The Classroom Lie Series: Learning Styles If you, like me, attended a traditional education school prior to starting your career in education, you probably spent at least a little time learning about the concept of learning styles. You might recognize the terms visual, auditory, linguistic, or kinesthetic. You may also have been asked to design lessons with different learning styles embedded. If you were like me, you may have even had a poster of the different learning styles in your classroom.

Nearly 90% of teachers believe in learning styles. The research says otherwise. Time to close the gap. 🧠 #ScienceOfReading #EdResearch #CognitiveScience #CogSci #TeacherPD #TheClassroomLie
