Thanks for highlighting @PDavidPearson article on Marie Clay. Must read for NZ educators
Let's Talk About Literacy@LiteracyTalk30 Oct 2022
Marie Clay, a fine scholar, thoroughly understood the reading process. Thanks, @PDavidPearson, for calling out those who wrongfully blame her for today’s reading scores: bit.ly/3zq79kU. They don’t realize how wrong they are and how much they could learn from her work.
“Unlocking Us” is back—and starting with a deep dive into values. I can’t think of a more powerful way to double down on ourselves than getting clear on our values. (P.S. Head to our home page for the exercise Barrett and I work through in this episode.) spoti.fi/3Ay5Kbh
From Unlocking Us with Brené Brown: Getting clear on your values. This is just you. This is you doubling down on you.

Replying to @MissSDoherty
The thing that gets me is why people assume that teachers need to work on their weaknesses. In many cases, becoming outstanding at the things you’re already good at may benefit students more. For me, aim of PD is not to make every teacher into a clone of every other teacher…
