One of my top principles would be ensuring students' attention. As a bit of a Sherlock Holmes nerd, I really liked how @blakeharvard.bsky.social used his approach to observation as a way of illuminating classroom practice. theeffortfuleducator.com/2025/03/03/s...

Teachers should think a little more like Sherlock Holmes in their classroom to improve attention and learning.

1) Although my #Saturday3 is usually the written word, this short video from @blakeharvard.bsky.social caught my eye. The tagline "If there's a way for students to take a shortcut when learning, they'll usually take it" is an important message! effortfuleduktr.substack.com/p/diminishin...

Diminishing Student Effort

If there's a way for students to take a shortcut when learning, they'll usually take it. I'm not sure they understand how that shortcut negatively impacts learning long-term.

If there’s a way for students to take a shortcut when learning, they’ll usually take it.

Diminishing Student Effort

If there’s a way for students to take a shortcut when learning, they’ll usually take it. I’m not so sure they understand how that shortcut negatively impacts learning long-term. Here’s a short video where I explain how I talk with my students about this, including some useful analogies, to help them to see that the mental effort is worth it in the long run.
