🤯 This is why Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) isn't working in YOUR school! 🤯
MTSS was designed to be a systemic model to merge general ed and special ed, aimed to PREVENT reading failure. 💭
Instead, we are doing a lot of INTERVENTION rather than PREVENTION. 🤔

H.E. faculty in many fields (medicine) teach what is aligned w/science bc damage will be done if they do not. Medical professionals take an oath to do no harm. EPP faculty must do the same. Teach what aligns w/the science so future teachers do no harm! Lit.=freedom! #TRLConf2023

Why are we simply handing out hard copies of novels to our whole classroom?
We're excluding anyone who doesn't have foundational reading skills, or who has visual impairment, or who's multilingual.
Instead we need to plan for barriers, so all students can access the text.

At the summit for higher ed at #TRLConf2023 listening to Anita Archer on academic freedom “You are free because you are literate…teach teachers using the science of reading b/c that will give your students THEIR freedom…medicine has no academic freedom b/c damage could be done” – at Syracuse, NY

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, on track/high performing students thrive in structured literacy classrooms too.

The ABC’s of SOR!🍎
Over the last 5 years, many researchers have contributed to my knowledge and understanding of how children learn to read.
To help you learn the research, I have created the “ABC’s of SOR” so you can follow the research, too!
PS- this idea stemmed from our family’s favourite road trip game: pick a theme &name one item for each letter of the alphabet! (Ex. Apple, banana, cantaloupe…)
My family failed miserably when I chose the theme “Science of Reading researchers!”😂 Please feel free to add the name of a researcher who has impacted your SOR journey! @KJWinEducation @natwexler @janhasbrouck @sstollar6 @lifelonglit @DTWillingham @kymyona_burk @ReadingShanahan @MJLiben @SoniaCabell

Calkins has to answer for her choices and impact, but our whole sector needs to look in the mirror - especially system and building leaders; why did so many just 'go with the flow'.
Courage and vulnerability are needed. Yes, move forward, but don't build on cowardly foundation

"Things will not be OK if all schools get better at is teaching kids how to decode words. And making sure kids get the knowledge and vocabulary they need to comprehend what they read may actually be the bigger challenge." Listen now. features.apmreports.org/sold…

I broke up w/balance literacy in 2021 & it was a fluke… I took a summer class being offered in my district. The class was: LETRS. I continue w/ the year long training @ it transformed my practice & put my teacher soul on fire.
What about you?
When did you breaks up w/ BL?

The argument that it’s okay for professional educators to omit phonics from instruction despite the research because the journalist failed to describe other features of quality reading instruction is dopey.

👉 The One That Exonerates Lucy Calkins In a Problematic Fashion
You could listen to @ehanford @CLPeak and not know that there are multiple other Science of Reading-alignment issues with Reading Workshop besides phonics.
That’s not good.

I admire all the teachers out there who — for years — have been thinking critically about how to teach reading, who tried to follow scientific research, sometimes despite what “experts” and supervisors said to do. A few who shared their experiences in threads this week:
