There is so much to learn about the #Dyslexia and thought I would do the ABCs, but there's so much more to add and learn. I'm always learning and love sharing! #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

I strongly encourage leaders [principals, senior leaders] and teachers to listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…. Culture is creating safety, where individuals feel safe to take risks, and who can become the best version of themselves.

Oral language development in classrooms must be ORGANIC and INTENTIONAL.
This requires a few components:
1. New expectations for student talk/ discourse.
2. A teacher toolbox/ menu of go-to strategies.
3. Permission to take the time to build language throughout the day.

Also a great structure for coaches and admins! It seems so simple, but we often skip the Ask step with glows straight to glows or stop at asking without layering in a connected suggestion. @GaDOESDI @CoxCampus @georgiadeptofed – at Athens, GA

Popcorn Reading is the antithesis of explicit systematic literacy instruction:
Traumatic to some
Disengaging for most
Beneficial to none

Now the question is:
How many are willing and humble enough to grow/evolve/change in the presence of the yielded facts from research?
Those who have an uncompromising desire to do what is right for kids will seek to abandon instructional practices that take away from kids as much as 15 instructional days and substitute them for evidence-based practices.
Making this shift does not require any purchasing.
It simply requires the unyielding desire to not leave kids behind.
