A @RetroReport producer, Matt Spolar, spoke with students at FCAHS today. (It was a great learning opportunity for me too. ) https://t.co/YiSePhXfPB

[David Olson @davidjohnolson]

On top of this, MANY studies have shown that a sure fire way to increase literacy skills and reading scores is to prioritize Social Studies. Students make meaning through context.

AP Gov class + Broadcast Journalism class + @RetroReport documentary = engaged class! @SwiftFoxMedia

[David Olson @davidjohnolson]

From my time in the classroom and association with #History and #Civics teachers nationwide, I know there is AMAZING work being done. If we want to see gains in NAEP, what we need are policymakers and district leaders to prioritize those subjects.
