Show Me The Research

Too often, teachers are fed interesting statistics about learning that are not based in research and evidence.

Teachers should ask PD presenters where they got their data and not just blindly trust anyone stating how they should teach. If someone online or in your school cannot show you where they got those flashy percentages…well, I’m not sure how much faith you should place in their expertise.

Learning Styles Myth

Learning Pyramid Myth

Kids Don’t Learn from People They Don’t Like Myth

Multitasking Myth

400 Repetitions Unless Done in Play Myth
