@RacheGabriel As a trainer of coaches, I hate to see coaches, who have embraced their role as one who collaborates with teachers and empowers them to be instructional decision-makers for their students, be reduced to curriculum or initiative police.
@missypurcell1 Nor does saying the word accurately. Decoding is essential, and it is in the service of making meaning. Thomas’ example shows how we instinctively try to make sense of the world around us, even early readers. Saying the words doesn’t make you a reader. Understanding them does.
@RacheGabriel Absolutely heartbreaking! Early readers aren’t going to experience the joy and wonder of reading by decoding “Pat the rat sat on a mat with the cat.”
@plthomasEdD I agree and they expect women to be compliant and do what they are told. The frightening thing is that many will because they see no viable alternative.
Kudos to the parents who had the time and resources to demand a better education for their kids. But what about the parents who don’t? Here it comes…mandates that create greater inequity.

@plthomasEdD You’ve pointed out two of my biggest fears…fidelity to curriculum over fidelity to the actual needs of ALL of children and “whitewashed curriculum.”
