We keep hearing @RyanWaltersSupt touting Mississippi NAEP scores.
Did you know Oklahoma consistently and significantly outperformed Mississippi in reading... until Oklahoma scores began dropping in 2016.
What happened??
"Hanford and Peak ground these episodes in who bears the consequences. Clear, engaging reporting like this can help policymakers, teachers and families ensure that they are not sold a story that might hold their young readers back." https://t.co/3juwICRoHv
Wow! Everyone needs to listen to this podcast if you are a teacher or a parent of children. While it’s sometimes uncomfortable for us “seasoned teachers”, it makes things very clear about the path we have taken and perhaps what needs to change.
New podcast coming this week...

Did you know adults are more engaged and effective when they feel valued and their strengths are focused on. I guess adults also work harder for leaders who they trust and know care for them.

@bstockus My second graders always loved The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley! It was one of those books when I finished for the day they would all yell, “Noooo!!” There are 9 in the series and my son also insisted we read all nine the summer before 3rd grade. 😊
EXCITING NEWS! Starting next month, we will begin offering free professional development in early childhood literacy to 10,000 Oklahoma K-3 teachers. 😄 #oklaed
