This finding should stop everyone in their tracks:
"In observed lessons, students primarily read words in isolation.
Only 21% of observed lessons provided an opportunity for students to apply foundational skills to connected text beyond the single word level (see Exhibit 7)."

No school has been moved forward by a weekly email, nor meetings in which teachers are re-told the contents of emails.
Principals: stop saying things like “we need to see more x y and z” and instead personally model what teachers should do, and unpack/rehearse it together.

“It’s unfair to ask teachers to both design and implement materials that employ all of the unsung heroes.”
📚 Curriculum is key to reading comprehension, and it’s time we treat it like the hero it is.

Fantastic article by Linda Kimoton on multi-sensory instruction. I would go so far as to suggest that this may be the biggest myth in the SOR movement.

#HB2 by Buckley has passed the #txlege with a unanimous vote in the Texas Senate. A historical funding of public education but I'd like to shine a light specifically on the landmark #earlynumeracy policy in the bill. #txed

"We are basically technology free in my classroom….and in most of our school. I’d say it’s another reason why the kids are so attentive and engaged."

“I know we all believe in social-emotional learning. I do as well. But what I have found is that sometimes if you just teach children to read and write and give them the academic skills, behavior decreases.”
