@ESL_fairy @MmeLockhartLDSB Most educators would tell you they never have enough staff. The point is to make better use of the staff you have - to use them to differentiate first reading instruction - get it right in tier 1.

🤯 This is why Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) isn't working in YOUR school! 🤯

MTSS was designed to be a systemic model to merge general ed and special ed, aimed to PREVENT reading failure. 💭

Instead, we are doing a lot of INTERVENTION rather than PREVENTION. 🤔

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Make Tier 1 the priority
Make Tier 1 the priority
Make Tier 1 the priority

Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is.

Design Tier 1 so that it's all it should be for learners & teachers.

It's the only way things change to benefit everyone.

“If your goal was to create a miserable work environment where employees are stressed, burned out, disrespected and given no say in their job just look to U.S. schools for inspiration. They are our ‘best practice of miserable workplaces.’”

5 reasons young students don't need homework:
1. They need time for play and exploration
2. Overburdened Schedules
3. Stress/ anxiety/ even burnout
4. Inequity and accessibility: Not all students have equal access to resources
5. Limited or no impact on achievement

What Else?

“For some students, digital reading was actually detrimental:

The researchers found that reading on screens lowered reading comprehension skills among younger students, those in elementary and MS grades.”

We can’t talk about this enough:
