Charts from today's SOR Spotlight School visit @RESelem (I failed to capture a picture of the 4th team's chart.) We witnessed outstanding instruction aligned to the SOR across each 3rd grade classroom. Student-centered coaching and embedded professional learning were evident.

Thank you to Colbert Heights Elem for hosting a Learning Lab focused on OCR! The vulnerability by the principal & teachers to open their doors for others to observe OCR instruction after 6 weeks of implementation was very much appreciated by those in attendance. #strongertogether

⁦@RussellvilleK12⁩ is a K-3 ⁦@Alabama_Reading⁩ Focus School. When the superintendent, curriculum, lead, principal, reading coach, classroom teachers, and their ARI supports all sit, talk, plan, observe, and improve together great things result.

Teaching practices we should no longer utilize when instructing students on how we read and spell words...

Another takeaway from today's Science of Reading Spotlight School visit was the focus on explicit vocabulary instruction! We witnessed it in every 3rd grade classroom! Changing the trajectory @RESelem by utilizing LETRS strategies for vocabulary 📚👏

So proud of this amazing @north_alabama student teacher leading an Open Court Reading lesson in Kindergarten! She and her cooperating teacher @Martin051813 have been working so hard together to learn the program during CPT and teach it together! Keep it up ladies!

Today we read one of the best articles I’ve ever read about reading instruction. The conversations we had after reading were amazing! “We abandoned what worked because we didn’t like how it felt to us as adults”. We have to remember we are here for the students, not us! #FCSLearn
