One of the great ironies of explicit instruction is that most teachers “discover” it by accident. They rarely learn about it in their initial teacher education. As @Knight2Susan explained in this guest blog post in 2021, this leaves teachers feeling angry and betrayed by the degrees they paid for and trusted.

Season 2 of Sold a Story will create enormous discomfort and defensiveness for advocates of “progressive” pedagogies. The question is not “Was PFT a flawless study?” (there’s no such thing). The questions are “Why were the results of the most extensive education experiment buried and not at least discussed in teacher preservice programs ?” AND “Why does family SES continue to be a larger influence on student achievement than the classroom instruction they’re exposed to?”.
Sold a Story Season 2 is coming October 15th.

Is teaching multiple math strategies to new learners doing more harm than good?
In this clip, Jon Regino and I discuss why teaching too many methods too early can create cognitive overload and make learning harder—not easier.

A report about Phonological Awareness Screener Test (PAST) had mean correlation between PAST and spelling r = .46, PA segmenting r = .20, and PA blending r =.45 (r = .80 is acceptable criterion validity). PAST is not a good measure @reading_league @ILAToday @nasponline

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Congratulations Mrs. Strube! It's an honor working with you. As soon as the convocation was over she covered for a class to support coaching. She really does whatever it takes to support teachers and the students she serves. – at Indianapolis, IN

Is an intervention consistent with science? See article in thereadingleague.org/journal… by @ValContessePhD & me. 1.Uses explicit instruction, 2.targets student needs, 3.high opportunities to respond, 4.appropriate challenge, and 5. feedback. @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league

Excellent event @ReadingLeagueIN, bringing together teachers, parents & advocates.
“The Right to Read” documentary is powerful! A must see.
It will take ALL of us to hit our state goal = 95% of 3rd grade students reading by 2027.
Thanks for being a champion, Reading League!
