Can this be said enough?

I'm not a reading expert, but it's clear to me that the evidence for "Science Of Reading" is much weaker than the evidence for adequate school funding. And yet "reformers" demand SOR be implemented immediately (whatever that means) while funding reforms need...

MCEA members sit on chamber floors, chant, and hold signs demanding the County Council fully funds the MCPS budget. This occurred during a proclamation by Council Vice President Friedson and Councilmembers Albornoz, Mink, and Jawando recognizing Teacher Appreciation Day.

A real focus on student success would include:
* later start time and shorter day
* more Arts, Physical Ed.
* more recess
* More focus on students' strengths
* more divergent learning
(innovation/ creativity)
*less high stakes testing
* more fun
* celebrate successes

@ghsgraduates Is there a way to request additional tickets?

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Lawsuits like this one may just be the wake-up call district administrators need when teachers warn admin about specific students.
Currently, in schools, there is rarely appropriate consequences and follow-up with the majority of student misbehaviors. #EdChat #EduTwitter

[Demondi Johnson @DemondiJ]

Talk about this too then! It’s more respect than the media will portray. Keep it all positive for both sides. 🙌🏾🫡 #WFinalFour  #MarchMadness

We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, & classes like Music, Art, Physical Education.But they have been taken away or reduced to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/ emotional skills & misbehavior that comes with lack of it.
