If a child starts behind in reading, the odds of catching up fall fast:
• 49% in kindergarten
• 29% in first grade
• 18% in second
• 5% in third
We don’t have a third-grade reading crisis. We have an early learning problem. Great take, @ChadAldeman.

Unfortunate truth:
The only way to become the curriculum leader in a typical district is to first become a principal, which usually means becoming an AP.

Also, the district curriculum director can simply be a good principal who needed to move up the food chain to retire with a better pension, and “curriculum director” was the first opening.
