As I make the final preparations today for my @Maespmd presentation around the Science of Reading, I’m feeling so appreciative of our school’s Reading Specialist. She is a true leader of learning. Do you have a literacy leader and how are you clearing the way so they can lead?

Teaching programs must do better. Not providing adequate preparation puts a heavy lift on districts and more students at risk. Our children deserve better. @ElemELA_Sup @LauraDHankins @Colleen_Schaper @JBradbard edweek.org/teaching-learn…

Quick video explanation about how knowledge impacts reading comprehension. We must teach content in elementary school! The reading CCSS evaluate comprehension, they don’t create it. #theshift @ElemELA_Sup @VivianAoun @Colleen_Schaper @JBradbard @natwexler @nadiyahherrera

Are we doing elementary students a disservice by focusing on discrete skills over rich background knowledge when we teach #reading? Education writer @natwexler weighs in.

Why limit instructional coaching to just new or struggling teachers? Miriam Plotinsky, the author of #LeadLikeATeacher, makes the case for building a school's PD program around giving ALL teachers access to coaching. @MirPloMCPS edutopia.org/article/instru…

Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working. Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers. It's the only way things change.
