@teacherasleader @LisaHansel @DTWillingham No! To conflate the issue, students are asked to read unfamiliar content and writing tests are based on comprehension of same. So many flaws it’s hard to know where to start...

[FranklinFlyer @FranklinFlyer1]

@karenvaites @ChaninJeff @Maverikedu12 @SCORE4Schools Yes!! I copied “text only” article from ESPN website this year and pasted it into a doc. T’s could read every word, but utterly no comprehension. “It’s how students feel when we hand them text with no background knowledge and ask them to retell.” #knowledgematters

Did you know? MIchael King Sr., successful minister, adopted the name Martin Luther King in honor of the German Protestant religious leader Martin Luther. Michael Jr. followed his lead and adopted the name himself.

@SKong81 @RUSD_ILE Sometimes, your impact isn’t felt until you’ve left, because you can’t be replaced. But your impact was clear from the start. 💯

[FranklinFlyer @FranklinFlyer1]

...and what a radical transformation it can have on student culture and climate. #franklinrocks

“What works best is to build knowledge through a coherent curriculum that is implemented across grade levels, beginning in kindergarten. It’s hard to overstate what a radical departure this represents from current practice.” —@natwexler #ELAchat

Using interesting #contentknowledge for writing eases the cognitive demand to focus on structure and skill. Plus they loved it. #thewritingrevolution #1stgrade #ckla @Amplify #knowledgematters
