Don't miss this guest post from the redoubtable Doug Carnine on how to make teaching an evidence-based profession at The Next 30 Years. "Professions grounded in evidence don’t revert to disproven practices," he writes. "Education does." https://t.co/Icn98qRed7

“You taught letters and we felt like kings.” 🥹 The whole thread is worth a read.
Don't know where to start. Flipflops, Starbucks, or ABCs. File under "When kids grow up and express themselves."

It’s here. Anita Archer’s posits“teach the stuff & cut the fluff.” We’ve done just that. Too much of early reading instr happens in silos so we start with the text and build a comprehensive lesson that address ALL aspects of word knowledge using Maryanne Wolf’s POSSUM approach.

One of my biggest frustrations in education is when I’m told to “meet students where they’re at.”🤦♀️ Instead, I prefer to “get students to where they need to be!” Currently, there are massive achievement gaps in mathematics, and many teachers don’t have the support, resources,

As a literacy teacher, I know the importance of timed tasks to measure students’ rate and accuracy of word reading. Automaticity is essential for reading comprehension, a more complex cognitive task. As math teachers, we also need to know how to measure students’ rate and

Teachers are expected to use evidence-based approaches and strategies- yet no one has ever trained us how to read and interpret research! Huge thanks to @rastokke who, this past weekend at the @researchEDCan conference, shared this 1-page “red flags for education research” for

This was a great listen! Bravo @rastokke & @JamieMetsala on such a clear & measured analysis. Loved the observation that we "give ourselves a B" if 70% of kids can do something - and a pat on the back. Masterful critique of three-cuing history & pitfalls too. A must-listen.
