More actionable data for teachers, individualized tutoring for students. Matthew Burns, Ph.D., is using a $2M @usedgov grant to create an AI-enhanced learning analytic tool integrated into @UFLiteracy's UFLI Foundations. https://t.co/8iqzLVXWGs

Speaking as a teacher, having a quality curriculum to implement means I can leverage my time to give specific feedback, intervene, examine progress, collaborate/reflect…

Don’t make us develop our own instruction. There are much wiser uses of our time and talent.

The points about the value of programs by @ehanford seems to have started a firestorm… the musician analogy is tricky … I propose an alternative… teachers who use programs are like astronauts. The images below show why I like this analogy… #teachersareastronauts 📚🚀

@emilyjsolari @Isabel_Vargas22 Congratulations Dr. Vargas! You are going to be awesome at Georgia State but we will miss you at UVA!

Educators rely on EdReports for "high-quality" curriculum. But some say its top "green" and middling "yellow" ratings have become unreliable. @CurriculumIP

"EdReports has sort of wreaked havoc,” one literacy expert says.

@MtEagleLit @BookwormsRW We just tried a new way to support kids with written reading responses using the RATE acronym (copying @EFrackelton in WJCC). Nothing fancy but happy to share, it worked well!

Great video highlighting one of the very best at UVA, Tisha Hayes, showing her dedication to ensuring that ALL teachers are prepared to teach reading and writing to meet the needs of kids in their classrooms-I feel so lucky to have Tisha as a collaborator. https://t.co/l6eK5n41gq

Not at all surprised that @UVATeacherEd is an exemplary program for teaching reading instruction!

[The Reading League @reading_league]

"Evaluating 693 undergraduate and graduate teacher training programs, the council found that 40% of programs instruct aspiring educators to use debunked teaching practices." C'mon, educator prep programs, it's time to do better. @The74 https://t.co/21fLYNrtRZ

"Three-cueing is the only instance I can think of that asks students to parrot low success performance, rather than proficiency." This is a really good response from Shanahan.

[Timothy Shanahan @ReadingShanahan]

Who's right? Emily Hanford or her critics. Shanahan weighs in.

@TimRasinski1 @EvidentlyR @AbbyTeachesDSM @ksirach @TimRasinski1 I am interested in your thoughts on three cueing. I get that people want other aspects of reading to be discussed, but I also agree that the focus of the podcast is on decoding especially for beginning readers or readers who are having a hard time.
