@nsteve15 Sounds great! Can you let me know what you find and share any articles you publish related to the work?

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

@nsteve15 That’s awesome that you are in classrooms observing. What for?

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

@susanhall_EdD Thank you for the great sessions at #PlainTalkNola. Just bought your book https://t.co/Ur3JBa28Et to support districts and educators in our service area!

Preach Steve Dykstra! ALL kids need systematic, explicit reading instruction before they need it, not incidentally as they stumble!#ghaealit #PlainTalkNOLA

[Tricia Kurtt @tkurtt77]

Do our classrooms have a culture where ASKING for help is part of learning? What structures can you put in place to make it part of learning? #PlainTalkNOLA

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

Very eye opening session at #PlainTalkNola from @jwashinup about the impact of language and dialect on Ss who are learning to read

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

How far away is a child’s dialect from standard classroom English? The greater the magnitude, the more difficult is to read #PlainTalkNola

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

Unpacking the impact of dialect on reading achievement- causes cognitive overload for already disadvantaged students #PlainTalkNola

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

Great meet up with @TheJillJackson to chat about #InstructionalCoach planning #PlainTalkNOLA

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

Children must have the opportunity to apply the phonics skills they learn to actual reading and writing EVERYDAY #PlainTalkNola

[Heidi Gascon @HeidiGascon]

Desirable difficulties enhance learning #PlainTalkNola
