This comes closest to describing all the feelings I had around the total solar eclipse. I'm going to do my best to hold on to it all.

This addresses something my students often ask about. "[D]ifferent operational definitions of reading disability will differentially impact which students get identified [and treated]. and this varies by the race and ethnicity of the student." @schotz @saraannhart.
Really important research on how the methods we use to identify students w/dyslexia (viz., discrepancy/PSW) differentially impact minoritized students from @schotz .
