Elizabeth Swanson

A teacher who became interested in why reading is easy for some and a struggle for others. A researcher who works every day to try and find the answer.

@nicksortor This kind of rhetoric is hate filled and sad. It is frightening.

@TheSassyHobbit @gatorgar What in the world?!? You are the Lord’s chosen!! You are loved by the Most High!!! Find a place to worship that also believes what is true about you. 💙💙💙

[Elizabeth Swanson @SwansonPhD]

@gatorgar Yes. Just go. And go again. If you don’t like one church, go to another. Shop around. It takes bravery to walk into a new church—even for most believers. Don’t stop till you find a spiritual home. It’s worth the work.

PD conducted “for teachers by teachers” was equally effective as PD conducted by researchers, providing evidence that workshops coupled with teacher study teams can have a statistically significant, positive influence on student reading outcomes. https://t.co/EzWLNb9gcB
