So many great nuggets from Lunch and Lit! Like this one from Dr. Marilyn Adams, in discussion with Patricia Alexander and Courtney Hattan. Adams continued to say, "To teach is to ensure learning."

New Blog: "Decisions about what will be taught and for how many minutes determine the daily experience of students and how much they learn in school. I see change unfolding across the country, and this makes me feel excited but also deeply worried." righttoreadproject.com/2024/…

Have you heard about that school in Kentucky that went from 23 to 90% proficiency in 3rd grade reading? And how the other subjects also improved. If interested.... bipps.org/blog/if-you-get-re…

#curriculummatters Just had time to watch the recent webinar about shifting from F&P to higher quality instruction. @DrMPaff summed benchmarking up perfectly: “My ethical code would prevent me from using F&P benchmarking.” Precisely. F&P is not fit for purpose.

This is why EdReports shouldn’t be relied on for curriculum selection forbes.com/sites/nataliewexl…
EdReports, once a solid guide to curriculum quality, has lost its reliability. It’s a source of huge concern, well-understood in the literacy community, and seldom discussed “out loud.” TY @natwexler for this excellent overview of the problems. A must-read. forbes.com/sites/nataliewexl…

Here’s the lead author of the Conmon Core Standards… pointing to a real limitation of ELA standards. Sue Pimentel “wants to shoulder some of the blame” for misuse of standards + field’s neglect of role of content knowledge / content quality. Read this: the74million.org/article/sta…

Louise Spear-Swerling explaining how to use Structured Literacy (SL) approaches! Be strategic in how we choose texts for students to read w/in SL. Beginning decoders use decodable texts so no guessing. Choose texts w/regard to comp demands!#DyslexiaCon21 @DyslexiaIDA

A great example of why teaching syllables and morphemes are important! We can't just teach graphemes, especially for multisyllabic words! #DyslexiaCon21 @DyslexiaIDA

Teaching is not delivering information. Teaching is building relationships with students and supporting them as they apply new information to complex tasks. The power of technology is that it allows educators to spend less time delivering information and more time truly teaching.
