It's not the case that children with dyslexia need identical instruction as typically developing kids, just a higher dose: @markseidenberg explains https://t.co/cxJsW4LRkN

So grateful for an unexpected blessing with the opportunity to join the ELD team and Van Hoosen Middle School. Met a few families and students today...what a great new beginning.

Our first graders in Mrs. Ureel’s class are practicing sound production and phonics with mirrors to watch the shape their mouths make! #RCSPride

Our community is heartbroken over the violence at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad. Our thoughts remain with those who may be impacted. Professional RCS support services are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 17-18, at Reuther Middle School or by phone at 248-726-4700.

Grateful for the 1st responders in our community. Senseless tragedy... so many lives forever changed.

So many of my colleagues have left the profession between years 3 and 8. So far, none have returned to teaching. Greener grass is real sometimes.

[Education Week @educationweek]

After a couple of years in the classroom, research shows that many teachers’ morale slumps for a few years before rebounding later in their careers. Find out what may contribute to this trend. #EWArchive

@RacheGabriel If we are replacing reading instruction with decoding instruction, I hope this wave of policy changes faster than previous educational legislation. We can't do this for a decade and be unsurprised by outcomes. Decoding is necessary but not sufficient.

[Wendy Beitel @RCSLitCoach]

@MargiottaGina Oh yeah, forgot that one from my list!

[Wendy Beitel @RCSLitCoach]

Twenty-seven years in elementary education and more than 13 curricular resources/methodologies for reading... I do believe all children can learn to read. If we could focus more on pedagogy and a bit less on resource roulette, I think we'd increase success.

[Wendy Beitel @RCSLitCoach]

I wonder what I've left out as I recap all of the curriculum materials and methodologies I've been asked to use to teach reading... this one was 1st.

[Timothy Shanahan @ReadingShanahan]

What about those reading textbook reviews?

Be brave friends. Stand up for the world you believe in - for the vision of readers with choice and freedom and the integral role of libraries in our society. You matter. We matter. And we are always stronger together.

[Wendy Beitel @RCSLitCoach]

@JSerravallo With teachers. Yes!

[Wendy Beitel @RCSLitCoach]

A reminder to myself as a district searches for a swap. Listen to teachers & listen to students.

Qualitative data is data.

[Jennifer Serravallo @JSerravallo]

This is a cautionary tale. Throwing out one curriculum and swapping it in for a new one is not it. Leaders....are you listening?

Explicit, systematic instruction in phonics: Professional learning by UFLI reminding teachers that phonemic awareness and grapheme phoneme correspondence are necessary for encoding and decoding
