Unfortunately this is commonplace. Universities must do better! On that note however, I’m excited about the @IADeptofEd ‘s work to support teacher prep programs in Iowa. Good things are happening here!

"We must **resist the urge** to choose reading accommodations over reading interventions. It is NEVER too late to teach kids HOW to read."

“…the biggest implication for educators around generative learning is that we, the educators, are responsible for creating the conditions for learning. We need to explicitly teach students how to be learners.” ~Megan Kruse megankruse.edublogs.org/2025…

Students who read above average on ORF are likely reading TOO FAST to make sense of what they are reading.
