How Daily Doses of 'Teacher Truths' Can Transform Education
Imagine if you could see into the working lives of thousands of teachers every day – what would you find? For the past 7 years, Teacher Tapp has done this through daily surveys, learning everything about teachers’ wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings. But what do teachers reveal when you look closely? And are we always ready to learn the difficult lessons? This session will uncover difficult truths and ask if America is ready to receive such answers.

Because the Research Says So”: How to Evaluate ‘Research-Based’ Teaching Advice
Teachers regularly receive advice that “comes from brain research.” How can we distinguish between reliable research-based teaching advice, and the advice based on hunches and misrepresentations?
This talk offers specific, practical strategies. When teachers know the questions to ask, the web resources to check, and the research headings to explore, we can ensure that research-based advice truly deserves our trust. The result: reliable teaching guidance that fits our classroom, our curriculum, and our students.
