What is Reddit's opinion of Rosenshine's Principles in Action?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Well, the nice thing about NGSS is that it is really rather limited in what it says students need to know. It has very few actual content standards in it. For instance, the word valence doesn't ever appear in it even once. Many people think that's a bad thing, but I've actually grown to appreciate that it frees me to spend more time on what I want. I can actually squeeze in a few long-form projects for fun and not worry about not getting to everything. NGSS is actually quite freeing in that respect. The problem arises when people interpret NGSS in a restrictive way. They think that it tells them what they CAN teach and HOW they have to teach EVERYTHING, instead of just setting some minimum expectations. Choose to interpret it in a more liberally and use it to enjoy yourself in the classroom this year.

If you want real evidence-based advice and professional development as you get back into the swing of things, you can't go wrong with almost anything put out by John Catt Publishing. I can't recommend them enough. A quick read that will help you tremendously is Rosenshines Principles in Action. Rosenshines principles are held up as the research based gold standard of instruction in other countries, but most teachers in the USA haven't heard of them.
