Shout out to the Catholic Churches in Terre Haute for staggering Mass times so nicely.
This traveler passing through appreciates the options. Planned arrival time of 4:50, but stuck in traffic- no problem! There���s a 5:30, too.

@BenisonMrs You are going to love it! I think Arkansas has an accompanying study guide.

Teacher prep programs should be preparing teachers by teaching the why (science we know) & the how (proven practices). If they aren’t, they aren’t actually preparing teachers.

If they aren’t preparing us with what we need to know, what are they doing & why are we paying them?

“To me it’s really a serious issue of public trust. The university ought to be relying on science to promote the content for which students are paying tuition. Somebody needs to sue the colleges of education, including my own.” https://t.co/hPbUpkwwGN

"It is true that reading requires some explicit instruction. It does not follow that everything that underlies reading skill has to be explicitly taught because otherwise it will not be learned." https://t.co/ynAi3AvxAi

INTERRUPTIONS LEAVE A WAKE

Learning time lost to distractions can amount to 10-20 days per school year.

Why so much? Because interruptions leave a wake. A thread:

This is a safe space.

If we want to see real change in reading education, it all begins with teachers’ knowledge & skills. They must know the why & the how.

Universities & districts have the responsibility to be teaching & training. When they don’t, they’re failing our teachers and our kids.
