@DrMPaff I was reviewing your posts/commentary on one of the pages/groups I follow. These were in connection to reading, literacy, and educational practices:pedagogy. I was interested in your professional background and experience to give context to your opinions and expertise.

[Shari Jones @SLJones97]

@DrMPaff I am curious, what ages/grades did you teach when you were a classroom teacher? What subjects? How many years have you been in practice as a psychologist?

@KyleneBeers @KatyLiteracy @mrbgilson @katyisd_ELEMCI @HeinemannPub @TCRWP I also had the fortune of being coached by the late Christine Wilson, who I believe also worked with Judy in Alief.

@KyleneBeers @KatyLiteracy @mrbgilson @katyisd_ELEMCI @HeinemannPub @TCRWP As director, Judy also introduced me to
the late Janet Allen, Steph Harvey, Cris Tovani, Kelly Gallagher, Dr. JAC and Jeff Wilhelm. I feel fortunate to have been “raised” amongst these giants whose shoulders I stood upon as a teacher and also a parent of a child with dyslexia.

@KyleneBeers @KatyLiteracy @mrbgilson @katyisd_ELEMCI @HeinemannPub @TCRWP I read your first edition of When Kids Can’t Read early in my career as and ELAR teacher at a middle school.

@KyleneBeers @KatyLiteracy @mrbgilson @katyisd_ELEMCI @HeinemannPub @TCRWP I appreciate your work and am thankful my director at the time, Judy Wallis, put that book in my hands. It helped me approach each reader with not a one-size-fits-all approach but one that responded to what each student needed.

@KyleneBeers @KatyLiteracy @mrbgilson @katyisd_ELEMCI @HeinemannPub @TCRWP disability but gaps in education - these were students who came to Houston because of Hurricane Katrina. Your book was foundational in helping me build a classroom of readers and writers. Three of these students went on to college with two receiving graduate degrees.

[Shari Jones @SLJones97]

I love witnessing their connections and a-ha’s as these dedicated educator’s dive into the why behind the what of developing writers in the classroom. One sharing that he never considered himself a writer until this week/week 1 of the Abydos Writing Institute! @SBISD

[Alana Morris, Ed.D. @MorrisAlana]

Day #2 of Abydos Reading Week. Dedicated educators experiencing what reading is like for those who struggle with reading so they can understand the “why” behind the “what” and “how”. @SBISD @JoyceEv99185678 @jennifer_blaine @MorrisAlana @AbydosInt

@AbydosInt @SBISD More great ideas shared. Big reason why Abydos Learning International 36th Trainers’ & Teachers’ Conference is a must attend conference.

@pnunez0279 @houstonpolice I wonder how you can tell that from the photo. Could be that he is 21 and facing the very sad situation that he hit and killed a man? This wasn’t premeditated, it was a tragic situation for the man who lost his life, the family of the man that lost his life, and this young man.

@MHShouston Love Ms. Lupe! I had the fortune of working with her at LMS earlier in her career. Always sweet and smiling!
