I agree that centers might not be the best use of time and often leave students without feedback. I use a learning line instead. I wrote about it here:https://t.co/2IIEpUYi8d
This is why we can't have nice things.
On a Facebook page called the Science of Literacy, the administrator just posted this. She has close to 15,000 followers.
Among other things, she is suggesting that dyslexia is a visual process, that good writers picture words in their minds, that those whose cognitive load is high rely on their visual memory as a support, that spelling becomes a visual task where they ‘see’ the word rather than sound it out, and that word shapes streghtens students' memory of the word. Sigh....
Again, this person has close to 15,000 followers. Only 3 of us have communicated to her that none of this is based on the evidence.
Moral of the story: Be careful who you follow and who you listen to.
@Tellez_Stephani@DickinsonISD@jackenn27 WHAT!!!!! Congrats. You got to let me know how it goes…Dickinson is so much closer to me😝. They just got a superstar!
If AI can write your curriculum, it probably didn’t deserve to be written.
Yes, LLMs can churn out a lesson or a scheme of work in seconds. But should they? A curriculum isn’t a checklist: it’s a structured expression of value, shaped by judgement, history, and context.
If your curriculum documents read like they were auto-generated, that might be because they were.
"Minutes" with a special educator are not always minutes of intervention. Coteaching isn't intervention. General push in help isn't intervention. These are "luxury goods." Intervention is a basic necessity! #LeadInclusion#EduSky#UDL#EdLeaders#Teachers
We honor the extraordinary contributions of Dr. @KyleneBeers to NCTE and the literacy field.
Kylene spurred our leadership forward. Many recognize her as a giant, and that she was, including serving as NCTE President (2008-2009) and a proud member of the Middle Level section.
