We talk a lot abt “knowledge-building curriculum.”
Yes, it has intentional design for reading/writing on science & history topics.
But also: rigorous texts for all kids, careful integration of reading strategies, more.

Our final Science of Reading Summit is underway at Beech Grove! The team has been thrilled to meet everyone and we're hopeful that attendees are able to continue to expand their knowledge in this area as it becomes a priority in many districts. Thank you all! #ScienceofReading

We wrapped up our first year of learning cohorts to support districts in aligning to evidence-based literacy practices and what an incredible year it’s been! Every district, school, and classroom we are invited into is such a privilege. 🎁
So excited for Y2!

When Tier 1 is weak, lots of students look like they need intervention.
When Tier 2 is weak, lots of students look like they need Tier 3 or special education.
Strong investments in Tier 1 & Tier 2 is a critical starting place for prevention.
Access gaps = outcome gaps.
