New day. New achievement.

If you are looking to learn a bit more about the current state of remote proctored exams please join me later this month. The panel is a font of knowledge in this field.

Introducing the Writing Carousel™—a new metaphor for the Science of Writing. Writing isn’t linear; writers cycle: plan → draft → revise → rethink. The carousel captures growth across key domains (ideas, organization, style, conventions, etc.) through repeated “rotations.” #WritingCarousel

One reason writing lags: the data gap. Reading has common screeners + benchmarks. Writing is often invisible, inconsistent, or reduced to a single score. If we want better writing outcomes, we need better writing measures—and a shared model for instruction. #assessment #writingcarousel

Literacy isn’t one thing—it’s a complex system: reading + writing + speaking/listening. Reading builds knowledge that fuels writing. Writing deepens thinking and comprehension. When we invest only in reading, we cap literacy outcomes. Full literacy needs both. #writingcarousel

2/5-Writing isn’t “just putting words down.” It’s one of the most complex tasks the brain does—language + memory + attention + organization + motor skills. That’s why it can’t be left to chance or squeezed in “if there’s time.” Writing must be taught. #ScienceOfWriting

Literacy = reading + writing. The U.S. has rallied around the Science of Reading—and it’s helping. But we still haven’t tackled the writing half of literacy with the same urgency, clarity, or shared framework. That needs to change. #literacy #writing #writingcarousel #scienceofwriting #sow

AI can reveal hidden misalignments in standards, curriculum, instruction & assessment. Our study of U.S. medical schools shows how small gaps accumulate into major learning losses—and how AI can monitor/tighten alignment. @ai-e-ou.bsky.social #AIEOU2025 #EdTech #AIinEducation @iseekai.bsky.social

I'll be speaking at Oxford University in September.

My wife: “I’m coming.”
Me: “To hear my talk?”
Her: “No, to see the only school better than Yale, visit every library, and do the Brideshead tour.”

I’ll be working. She’ll be starring in her own period drama.

Support the arts. #NYCBALLET @nycballet.bsky.social #RAVEL

Kicking off my 21st ATP Innovations in Assessment conference. The people change but the relentless focus on validity and reliability remains. if you are here come to my session with Tim Burnett Tuesday at 1:30. We're talking Beyond #Deepfakes: Unmasking the potential of #AI Driven #Avatars #ATPConf

Spelling isn’t just about writing it’s key to reading Should we explicitly teach spelling, if so, what’s the best way?
We address traditional list-based instruction and explores a more efficient, evidence-based, approach to spelling
