“The big mistake we have made in the United States is to assume that if we want students to be able to think, then our curriculum should give our students lots of practice thinking. This is a mistake because what our students need is more to think with.” --@dylanwiliam

New working paper from @DTWillingham
Gist: A knowledge-rich curriculum leads to better reading scores, but most importantly (for me) is that while the effect size was large for kids in high-income schools it was gigantic for kids in low-income schools!

Too many edu-tech conversations are backwards.
They begin with the tech. “Here's this new tech...how should it change what ppl do?”
