An eloquent and heartfelt statement by parents to the 58 critics of Sold a Story. As a sister of a brother who had dyslexia and committed suicide, I stand with these parents. It is time. https://t.co/WxhIsn9nyD

I was at a school that tried to do both. We used Wilson Fundations for phonics and then Fountas & Pinnell Classroom for reading. First of all, the fact that the school had two buy 2 VERY expensive programs to try to achieve this "balance" doesn't sit well with me. 🧵

@DrEOrtizJr This episode was AMAZING!!! We have to be better at deimplementing initiatives that aren’t working or no longer being used.

@ehanford @CLPeak @aakruse Looks like the 2nd largest school district in the state of KS has spent more on Heinemann products in the last 2 years than the largest district in the last 10. ☹️

[KS SOR @KSSOR2]

The 2nd largest district in the state of KS has spent more on Heinemann products than the largest (at least $500,000 spent). Some were even funded through a state literacy grant.

Studying "Units of Study" The new TCRWP curriculum is here. Does it measure up?https://t.co/0HhRP6ZSg1

[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

Pendulum swing? Districts only do 1 of the 5 things AFT identifies, then act surprised when it doesn't work. That's not a pendulum swing; that's half-hearted implementation fueled by poor leadership. #DoAllFive

@sblackwellslpd @olatheschools This is awesome! Now let's stop spending precious PD and instructional time focused on Units of Study. Let's keep moving forward with #StructuredLiteracy!
