I’m sick of hearing about “Tier One/Two/Three” teaching. I’m tired of the arguments about explicit instruction or discovery learning. I’m exhausted by the incessant acronyms—one ludicrous website claims there are 40 (?!) that every teacher should know. Perhaps if teachers spent more time put my advice to use, they wouldn’t need to memorize 40 acronyms.
Just stop.
As someone who has been doing it for 25 years, you can trust me: proper teaching and long-term learning are not hard.
The goals should always be the same, and if you aren’t spending every minute of your instructional day implementing them, you are wasting your time and your students’.
In this video, I call them the three A’s of education. They are easy to remember, and there’s no reason not to start focusing on them right away. Enjoy!
