Editor's Notes
- We must radically simplify school improvement—which begins with taking on the simplest kinds of realities
- This roo m is full of people who would love to see that number be far higher—so, what is the factor over which we have the greatdst amount of control AND which has—cinveninetly—the biggest influence on achievement evels—more than any other factor?

- If you look at it, its just thinking—that all. It is bombarding kids with opportunities to weigh evidence, make choices on that basis; decide what is best or most ture or sensible or practicl. We have to give kids lots of that in every discipline, and I will show you how esy tht coud be.
- Now—the brutal facts—anyone who has done walkthrus sees…Ihaver seen Reeves has seen So what do resrchrs say?
- Without inspection, what happens? Well Hands raised or “shout –out”; Tiny minority have clear standard Most lesson simply not well-organized: no evidecneof backward design—herews what you wil be able to do; here’s howit will be assessed, and ONLY then… “ scaffolded” teach little check, teach some more, observvins and adding or explaing until most or all get it befroe moving on 3-part math lessons 15 of 55 minutes of instruction etc
- Think of some of yourr own…
