What happened in Mississippi was not a miracle. It was a lot of work on a lot of pieces over a lot of time. Lessons for all here from ⁦@kymyona_burk⁩. https://t.co/tO82ny8zGJ

What a fun new take on my song, @ChapelHartBand! Carl's birthday is today so I think I'll hang on to him, and I'm not notifying Jolene that today is
his birthday 😉 #AGT

[Best of Edutopia 2019] #BestofEdutopia2019 One of our most-watched videos of the year showed how drawing is a powerful learning tool, exercising visual, kinesthetic, and linguistic areas of the brain all at the same time.

@BackSeatLing @ehanford @KenSheck @skrashen @mamabooch1 This may be due to implementation of the Common Core State Standards in MS at that time.

@3DLearner @skrashen The first year of 3rd grade retention in MS was 2014-2015.

[Rep. Kent McCarty @KentMcCarty]

Love seeing Mississippi’s educators & students get well-deserved national attention for their impressive gains in reading over the last 5 years! Nothing is more important than educating our young people. #msedu

[Maci Fisher, NBCT @maci_fish]

@skrashen Erroneous. Increased phonics instruction took place for ALL MS Ss. As a MS 3rd grade teacher, I have first hand knowledge. Our state trained Ts on the science of reading, which includes all 5 components. Ts increased phonics in regular ed classes bc that’s what was lacking.

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

"Mississippi has been doing something notable: making sure all of its teachers understand the science of reading," writes @ehanford https://t.co/s5Qr2bMQFB

My piece in the @nytimes @nytopinion today. There's a whole new meaning to "Thank God for Mississippi." https://t.co/rI1zzDXY3r

[The Reading League @reading_league]

Check out this excellent new piece about the disconnect between popular commercial programs & the scientific evidence base on reading. It features the voice of @markseidenberg, our own @drheidibc, and other allies, such as @tiffany_peltier. Exciting times!https://t.co/HxWmjjp8mc

[MS Dept of Education @MissDeptEd]

Mississippi more than a year ahead of Alaska in fourth grade reading https://t.co/w078C4LPOc

What is the science of reading? If you teach children to read, you need to
read 👇🏼

Thread: There was a session today at #NCTE19, the annual conference of @ncte, called "Misreading the Science of Reading." I want to share some thoughts, and some reading material, to add to the conversation. #elachat #ilachat 1/x

Today, @nctqkate, @TNedu's Penny Schwinn, @DrMariaMurray1 of @reading_league, and @maci_fish of @LamarCoSchools will be discussing how to end the reading wars, and how to do it now at @ExcelinEd's #EIE19.

Check it out if you're there! https://t.co/1l2mMnq48H

Great to hear @maci_fish’s firsthand account of Mississippi’s gains in reading. Hard to overstate the importance of the science of reading. Let’s keep this conversation going! https://t.co/ZeIT6n367q #EIE19 @SchwinnTeach @DrMariaMurray1 @reading_league @nctqkate @NCTQ
