Lots of hate for the Atlanta Airport but how can you beat:
- 2 Chick-Fil-As
- The Plane Train
- Easy to navigate
- Multiple lounges
- Rarely weather delays
- Affordable food options
- Plenty of seating at gates
- Direct flight virtually anywhere
Structured literacy is an approach to teaching reading that is based on the science of reading and years of brain research that provides us with information about how people acquire and process information.
Teacher knowledge is imperative to student success. Supporting teachers by encouraging them to receive professional development in the area of structured literacy will dovetail into student success. 💚💙
@DurdenValencia @teachcarters2 This is absolutely incredible and inspired!! SOR-based instruction that’s student-centered is what gets us equitable instruction! Fantastic work ladies. Miss you both❤️
It's officially real!! Received my published copy today!! So excited and so grateful to @janhasbrouck who was an amazing coauthor and teacher AND to @jimknight99 for his Foreword contribution. And to @BrookesPubCo - true partner! #coaching#leadership
Decades of reading research has shown that reading is not an innate ability and requires explicit instruction. Structured Literacy combines all of the approaches currently accepted with the added support of scientific research.
One thing studying the Enneagram has done for me has been to liberate me from all my ideas of what "normal" looks like. There are so many ways that human beings can show up beautifully in this world.
Yesterday I spoke to a new superintendent who said he was amazed at the number of ineffective programs in his district. I laughed and reminder him what Peter Drucker once said — “Half the leaders I have met don’t need to learn what to do. They need to learn what to stop.”
Literacy is essential for learning in all areas. Teachers should be using a systematic and explicit approach that focuses on the five essential components to teaching reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. 💚💙
