@effortfuleduktr We end up with the same presenters at many conferences - professional and knowledgeable folks, but removed from everyday reality at schools in many cases…

@Bobby4Brooklyn @FaithBorkowsky Signed!

@SouthwestAir Flight 1370 from Dallas to LGA is delayed now because pilots weren’t scheduled? How is that possible?

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

Said it before. Saying it again: the biggest mistake the US made is assuming schools and teachers needed only to be properly incentivized (or threatened). Changing practice, not policy, is where our focus should be.

Patrice has done it again!!!!

(Oh, and it’s a bit surreal to find myself inside, when she’s influenced me so much; her first book being a gateway drug into science of learning practices.)

[Andrew Fletcher @AFletcherDOE]

@SouthwestAir No, actually it will be late. The flight circled multiple times south of DC with absolutely no information provided and now we're going to be late arriving. Unacceptable.

[Andrew Fletcher @AFletcherDOE]

@SouthwestAir Why is flight 1768 from Houston Hobby to LGA circling south of DC with no announcements made by the crew?

[Andrew Fletcher @AFletcherDOE]

@SouthwestAir Not if we keep circling...

“You have to have explicit, systematic direct instruction in phonics. You have to have vocabulary complexity. You have to have knowledge coherence in the design of your units and lessons. And you have to write a lot in response to reading.”
