You know that factoid about 65% of kids working in jobs not yet invented?
Here's the sixty year history.

@dylanwiliam @NateJoseph19 @MargiottaGina What’s your sense of where things have been going well with literacy? My (contested) bet is Ontario over the last 15 to 20 years.

Happy to share this open access article about readers theater, co-authored with the fabulous @TimRasinski1, Joel Levin and Jerry D'Agostino and published in the Journal of Research in Reading https://t.co/hfNMm15YQE

@plthomasEdD It seems to be a move to undercut the idea that Ontario has produced good results with Balanced Literacy rather than the opening point into seeing how we can be more equitable or help all kids.

Anyone else seeing a trend of dyslexia associations suggesting that accommodations on testing are somehow getting in the way of measuring what kids can really do? The Ontario IDA, for example, suggests that we only have good reading scores because of accommodations,

@NateJoseph19 @warmMagnet @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario A question: when you’ve presented your NAEP analysis before to people you consider to be experts, did they bring up 3rd grade retention?

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

@NateJoseph19 @warmMagnet @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario I think a few independent sources would help with more context about this number given the weight being put on it.

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

@NateJoseph19 @warmMagnet @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario All mention of it online seems to go back to that paper and nowhere else that I can find. You keep slipping the PISA question, too.

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

@NateJoseph19 @warmMagnet @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario Is there anywhere besides the IDA that confirms the number is 18% or provides some more context?
Is that also what’s happening with PISA and where’s the evidence there?

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

as if they think the true picture would be revealed if we take them away from kids.
I can’t see how that fits with how we would usually see disability and accommodations outside of reading / school. I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

@NateJoseph19 @warmMagnet @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario Chewing this over. How does this sit w broader disability studies? Can’t think of many cases where an employer or school denying some kind of accommodation would be seen as getting down to the true level of ability.

@NateJoseph19 @MargiottaGina @IDA_Ontario On PISA?

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

@NateJoseph19 @MargiottaGina I feel like there’s this gap in background knowledge about this and what NAEP“proficient” means that misleads the SOR conversation.
FWIW, I don’t think any of the SOR states are even close to how well Ontario did under Balanced Literacy.

@NateJoseph19 @MargiottaGina Third grade retention has a huge impact on creating mirages of SOR progress. Why leave it out ?

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

I haven’t written much in a long time. Here’s my take on the study that found astonishing effect sizes for UFLI.
It’s not a criticism of UFLI, but a critique of the research paper. I think research in education owes something to teachers.

@LauraElliott77 Are they a good reader in your literacy activities? It’s possible they just don’t fit the DIBELS profile.
