Elana Gordon Nate Joseph Timothy Shanahan wrote about this not too long ago. He is helpful when explaining how research translates into practice for me!
“Neuroscience is largely a correlational enterprise. Scientists analyze brain images and look for patterns and consistencies…is then translated into hypotheses and possible explanations for how those patterns connect to external behaviors and conditions.” Timothy Shanahan
I wrote about rejecting curriculum reform amnesia and instead using lessons both from past failures (and those that haven’t happened yet!) to inform successful implementation.

“Effective teaching will always be more than following a script.” During webinars I’ve presented re: French adaptations of the UF Literacy Institute program for use in the EARLY FRENCH IMMERSION setting, I’ve always included this caveat. Programs don’t teach kids. Adaptations must be made.
This Timothy Shanahan blog explains the importance of using a literacy program with integrity vs fidelity. Our teachers have to understand the standards and our students to help them make progress.
Great read on understanding the balance between having fidelity to a program vs fidelity to learning. It is summed up beautifully with this statement: “Effective teaching will always be more than following a script.” Thank You! Timothy Shanahan

Timothy Shanahan “But any careful analysis of a transcript of her lesson would reveal that she was making important adaptations to my brilliant handiwork.” You can tell the difference between “important adaptations” and unpreparedness that lowers expectations.
Teachers on our #KnowledgeMatters School Tours often report using a common, high-quality curriculum allows them benefit from curriculum-based PLCs, collaborating more deeply on unit and lesson planning and reflecting on what’s working and not through the study of student work.
