Happy 154th Birthday to Marie Curie, a French-Polish physicist and chemist, best known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only woman to win in two fields, for Physics in 1903 and for Chemistry in 1911.

Just because you can’t arrange desks in a circle in your classroom doesn’t mean you can’t guide your students through a successful Socratic seminar. Online learning and Socratic seminars work beautifully together. edutopia.org/article/how-fac…

Why are so many kids unable to understand what they read? A compelling new audio doc from @apmreports provides part of the answer. If we want to help kids who struggle most, tho, we need to know more. My latest Forbes post. @literacypodcast @HKorbey forbes.com/sites/nataliewexl…
Sometimes the perfect quote reappears right at the perfect time, and often it's from @markseidenberg “Children who struggle when reading texts aloud do not become good readers if left to read silently; their dysfluency merely becomes inaudible.” -Language at the Speed of Sight

40%. That’s the percentage of children with disabilities in developing countries who are NOT in primary school. A great education is one that is inclusive.

"To me, this is better than Brown v Board. After all these years I've been working as an activist for our children, that was some of the best news I've heard." We talk about the recent ruling in the "right to read" case, what it means on @EducatePodcast apmreports.org/story/2020/04…
