@heymrsbond In the name of improved, inclusive instruction, we get policies that: boost the market, ban books, limit opportunities for wide reading, minimize instruction aimed at writing and critical thinking, enforce one version of what counts as background knowledge. No thanks.
605 SCS second-grade students benefitted from the Monda Kids S.W.I.M. program this year. OVER SIX HUNDRED children improved their swimming empowering them to be smarter and safer around water. Thank you @CityofNorthPort and the Monda Family Fdn for making this possible.
If you are being mandated to sit through PD that tells you essentially everything you’ve learned and experienced is wrong and the majority of your teaching should be whole group, one size fits all, scripted lessons- it’s not about growing you- it’s about growing their product.
Reading Recovery takes a child from reading zero words and writing only a few, to a confident reader, problem solver and author of their own stories in just a matter of a few weeks! #confidencematters#readingrecovery
Reading Recovery students are reading, writing & having fun. When these these kiddos complete a story, they can write a summary, compare & contrast characters or rewrite the ending. These Glenallen students are proud after finishing their lesson, and we are proud too! @rrcna_org

When was the last time you were coached? I had a coaching visit with my Reading Recovery/PCL University Trainer this week. Having another set of eyes on the lesson and collaboration around theory and practice makes me a better teacher. #ReadingRecoveryWorks@NLULiteracy
The Sarasota Reading Council @readingwithsrc had a wonderfully successful mini conference the beginning of April. 💫 Mellissa Alonso-Teston was the Keynote. @testonmellissa
Thanks for sharing your successful conference.
Amy Archer of Garden Elementary School in Sarasota County was selected as one of three 2022 Florida Principal of the Year Finalists. Congratulations, Principal Archer! @sarasotaschools
1/3 it’s amusing to watching the SOR-fanatics flutter around about “evidence”, but then simply dismiss the UK study that phonics isn’t working in the UK released this week, and also still constantly & continually spread untruths and half truths about Reading Recovery. Frustrating
