Such a special night celebrating our Madelion!

We can learn a great deal about how to serve children better when we observe teaching and learning from their perspective. #educationalepiphany
You will never grow proficient writers with this approach...never! Writing instruction should be taught systematically and explicitly!

"Reading several texts on a single topic is like activating Velcro in students’ brains, to which more knowledge can be added and from which references can be drawn for future use in different setting." knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/scaling-t…
Yes!!!!!
It's about giving ALL students ACCESS!!!

“To some people teaching is a job, to others it’s a mission.” I so love this ~Becky Austin!
No matter what anyone says, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. From page 176 of my book, “The Power of Positive Leadership.”
There’s a dizzying amount of activity going on spurred by the push to bring classroom practice in line with the “science of reading.” Providing the WHY, WHAT, and HOW is imperative for successful implementation and positive outcomes for Ss! Great read! 📚

This shift in thinking about how we are teaching children to read has pushed us out of our comfort zones, but the benefits Ss will reap keep me digging into the research & challenging myself to be better!

If you capture their hearts, they will freely give you their minds to educate.
We can't wait!!!
I love to hear @DonyallD speak about high impact instructional moves we can make so that ALL Ss have opportunities to access grade level text! It's not about the zip code, it's about the instruction happening within the zip code! @bourque_rich @MrRichardson_5 #latcon2022
Our words are so powerful...
I love this! ❤️

30K Followers 8K Following MN Principal of the Year (2016) | Author | Speaker | Podcaster | Pickleball Practitioner | Opinions are mineThis can’t be said loud enough… Tutoring can fill gaps, but it shouldn’t be the front line solution.
Learning to read by 3rd grade has just been named as a priority in the SOTU. My critique? The path towards said goal was identified as "high-quality tutoring and summer school." Why not high-quality, core Tier 1 instruction during the regular school year??
"Our findings indicate that the role instructional leaders play in implementation is so significant in driving success that—if a choice had to be made—schools would be better off providing training and support for leaders instead of teachers." fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…
I know this to be true…Our children are not incapable; rather, they are untaught.
America is upside-down under Joe Biden’s leadership, but that’s about to change.
Education, not indoctrination! The woke liberal agenda has no place in Knox County schools.
‘Knowledge allows a “poor reader” to perform with their highest peers in tasks because they feel confident and capable.’ @kyairb on the value of knowledge-building curriculum, as written for @Larryferlazzo: #KnowledgeMatters edweek.org/teaching-learn…
What If teachers agreed upon learning outcomes and collaborated and discussed data & statistics and watched film, and came up with intervention plans for next week based on Friday's weekly assessment the same way football coaches did?
"Teachers Pay Teachers" is not a Guaranteed and viable curriculum. Few will understand this.
It was an honor to visit with President Donald Trump. He was friendly, remarkably kind, and incredibly generous with his time.
Tuesday's Thought... Please stop saying failed. How about... "Teachers, Administrators, and Districts are working to ensure we explore all possible "promotion gateways" for students." Set the context. Don't fall for the narrative. I'm tired. That is all...
Access to quality literacy instruction should not be a luxury. — It should be a given. #educationalepiphany
A note I wrote Keith during the service.
A truly groundbreaking study of the long term effects of knowledge building curriculum. I’ll be writing about it soon!
New working paper from @DTWillingham Gist: A knowledge-rich curriculum leads to better reading scores, but most importantly (for me) is that while the effect size was large for kids in high-income schools it was gigantic for kids in low-income schools! edworkingpapers.com/ai23-755
I am heartbroken to hear about the shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. Children are among the victims. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene. My prayers are with the victims, the survivors, and their loved ones.
As you know, I am the lead author of a reading program published by Scholastic. Today, I received a shipment of the program. My testimony is proof that poverty can never be thought of as the predictor of individual success. Access is far more important than any other factor.
Still glowing from #PlainTalkNOLA @cll_teach ... One HUGE highlight: Listening to the remarkable & inspiring @wbny (& very entertaining) "10 Reasons Why Your Phonics Instruction Sometimes Fails"... Phonics instruction alone is not the solution & I🤩his concrete examples.
@CorwinPress @DFISHERSDSU @kierstan_barbee Bring more student work to the PLC table. I love using a noticing/wondering t-chart for analyzing student work. What other processes have you used to analyze student learning through student work in a collaborative team?
@mkosko73 @CorwinPress @DFISHERSDSU Separate work samples into emerging, maturing, & consolidated understanding then look at the characteristics of each: what do students know and what are they able to do at each level? What do they not yet know and what are they not yet doing? This helps us determine where to next
@mkosko73 @CorwinPress @DFISHERSDSU @kierstan_barbee We have analyzed based on the success criteria.
