People who don’t understand why a teacher/school wouldn’t teach a curriculum w “fidelity” probably
1- aren’t classroom teachers
2- don’t understand complex needs of real kids
3- haven’t seen or used a curr w an sor sticker slapped on it 🫠

Teacher expertise over programs. Always

[Mrs. K @MelK_Edu]

Unpopular opinion (that should be popular)
As dyslexic kids progress to upper grades there needs to be a shift away from heavy emphasis on phonics towards heavy emphasis on application of obtained skills to authentic, GRADE LEVEL text. The shift should be comprehension & vocab+

[Helen Proulx @HelenProulx2]

“I think it’s okay to use decodable texts as part of phonics instruction, but such practice should be limited, and even beginning readers should be reading (not just listening to) more than decodable texts.”

🧵I went to phd school bc of my experience as a teacher attending a research conference.

A prof stood up in the middle of one packed session & asked the presenters a set of ?s they couldn't answer but SHOULD have been able to given their wild claims

The prez was about DIBELS

"Teachers are being asked to get out of the way and follow the program....What we really need to be asking teachers to do is learn their students well and respond effectively." YES @RacheGabriel @JSerravallo

Teachers shouldn't have to create all of their lessons from scratch, but they also shouldn't be forced to teach directly out of a manual.

There's a both-and solution here: provide teachers with foundational resources and coach them in designing units with backward design.

[Jen & Hannah are here to support teachers&students @trustingreaders]

Spent a day in K today.
Was reminded that teaching K is a delicate balance between
“You can do it yourself!”
“We learn by making mistakes.”
“ I’m here to help you.”
Programs can’t do all three at just the right moment.
Teachers can.

[Paul Emerich France, #MakeTeachingSustainable @SustainTeaching]

One of my biggest worries?

That curriculum companies will capitalize on science of reading, making teachers beholden to a curriculum instead of actually building knowledge on how kids learn how to read.

People teach, not programs. Just a reminder!

We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, & classes like Music, Art, Physical Education.But they have been taken away or reduced to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/ emotional skills & misbehavior that come with lack of it.

[Dr. Rachael Gabriel @RacheGabriel]

I was down with #R2R #righttoread legislation until it turned into a publisher stimulus package.

Teach 5 pillars? totes.
Teach phonics exp/sys/comprehensively? most def.

Drop whatever you have to buy sthg new that has ZERO evidence it's better?
Nah.

Thought for the day.

[Dr. Rachael Gabriel @RacheGabriel]

@ChaseJYoung1 @EvidentlyR @DoctorSam7 @Braedan41 @ssvincent I'm interested to see how the cost conversation shifts in the next couple of years as folx adopt new curricula at the highest prices ever and still need significant intervention services. Seems like the landscape is (inflating?) changing.

[Dr. Rachael Gabriel @RacheGabriel]

You can't buy good literacy instruction, but you can invest in great literacy teachers.

The training that comes with new materials is not that investment.

Trainings are primarily procedural. Capacity-building is primarily analytical...Just like good instruction.
