Delighted to welcome students and teachers from Archmere Academy this morning to explore our Center for Teaching & Learning—diving into the Science of Learning, the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning, and what it means to translate research into practice.

I'm taking a deep dive into the (potential) benefits of 2-stage testing. I'm sharing the following slides with students today. I need to write this up, but I'm excited about what we've learned so far.

(Small sample size, blah blah. We'll do it all year.)

Long weekend. Short week. Endless grading.

This week’s WDYN Wednesday shares 3 quick reads to make feedback count—and grades mean less.

We are cooking with this @eactl.bsky.social scholars project on two-stage assessment, right out of the gates. 👀

Love to express my frustrations with the Eagles offense while teaching my kid 7 times tables.

Me: “IF KEVIN PATULLO PROPERLY UTILIZED HIS OFFENSIVE WEAPONS AND THE BIRDS SCORED 3 FIRST QUARTER TDS, AND JAKE THE MAKE TACKS ON THE EXTRA POINTS, WHAT’S THE SCORE?”

Kid: “21-0.”

Spent my day off fixing up the house (and the boys’ bikes) and watching ‘The Bourne Trilogy.’

10/10 day.

Social media platforms:

Twitter/X: I am absolutely right about this thing. I might also be a bot.

Bluesky: I have seized the means of production. And you’re an idiot because you say the pledge of allegiance once.

LinkedIn: BOOK ME & BUY MY THING. I’VE SENT ANOTHER DM.

8–year-old: “What time do the Birds play?”

Me: “They played on Thursday, remember? They lost to the Giants. Somehow.”

8-year-old: “Well…at least they can’t lose today.”

The 8-year-old, who is an absolute menace, had 2 TDs—one of which was an interception return for six.

The 10-year-old had 1 TD and got booted in the 2nd half while playing his old coach…who benched him in his last game last year.

Played ‘Dreams & Nightmares’ on the way to flag football tonight (clean version, don’t be crazy) so the kids are going to either have 5 TDs or be kicked out in the first half.
