@RCSLitCoach @DrMaryHoward @stenhousepub @adriaklein_read Thank you for sharing your teaching with us! I always learn so much from observing you teach!

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

I’d like to express our deep appreciation to Carla Soffos & Adria Klein for ensuring that Linda Dorn’s final book became reality. Linda’s contributions to education will always be felt. We will honor Linda's legacy when we do our best work for children every day! #G2Great

A7 I think we’d be amazed by the sheer number of children who end up in interventions who would never have been there if we’d had a strong foundation at tier 1. We can’t have a knee-jerk reaction about sending every child to a tier who doesn’t pass an isolated test

@franmcveigh Yes! #G2Great

A7: A strong home can't be built on a weak foundation. If our classroom instruction is not supporting our students what chance will the minimal time outside of it will? #G2Great

[Laura Robb @LRobbTeacher]

So agree! A need that can change intervention and move away from programs and quick fixes. Each child’s needs are unique! #g2great

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

A7 The authors state, “Interventions are designed to supplement (not replace or supplant) high-quality classroom instruction.” This must be a schoolwide priority since ignoring the first line of defense means that we view interventions in isolation. #G2Great

A6 I love every resource in the book, but I think that my favorite is the 50+ videos that are so beautifully done. Teachers need these visual learning opportunities and I know that they will use them across the year to engage in collegial dialogue. #G2Great

[James Oloo @JamesAlanOLOO]

@DrMaryHoward A5: I like this book for many reasons: differentiated instruction; evidence-based interventions; assessment that is targetted at both individual and the system. All these are done in an environment in which teachers are empowered and have the tools and skills they need. #G2Great

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

A6 I want to emphasize that the power of these wonderful support features is that they are RESOURCES (vs mandates). Professional learning is bout honoring teachers with ongoing support along with expert coaching + collaboration with others. #G2Great

[Lynn Newmyer @LynnRdgtch]

And often we see students gaining confidence and their skills growing through our interactions. #G2Great

[Carla Soffos @learncs]

@BrianThayerEdS Love that, Brian! #G2Great

@WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump Please stop being disrespectful to people who don’t agree with you. It makes you appear “pathetic” instead of them. You’re supposed to be a leader and this behavior doesn’t represent the qualities of a leader.
