“I am worrisomely seeing in California that there is becoming more loyalty to past methods that have been shown to be ineffective for our most struggling readers. We can never put loyalty to past methods over loyalty to our children.” - Dr. Maryanne Wolf

We know it's toward the end of the school year, but there are lots of reasons to choose at least 1 of these events to attend in the next few weeks. Especially excited for https://t.co/dXeFGVFgsL
Thank you @DDCalifornia for the partnership!

Speaking as a teacher, having a quality curriculum to implement means I can leverage my time to give specific feedback, intervene, examine progress, collaborate/reflect…

Don’t make us develop our own instruction. There are much wiser uses of our time and talent.

We are grateful to #AB2222 author @AsmBlancaRubio , co-sponsors @DDCalifornia and @FamsInSchools, all of the bill's co-authors, and the many advocates who moved the important issue of early literacy forward (1/2).

@jfenster @CASpeakerRivas @DDCalifornia @edvoice @FamsInSchools @EdTrustWest @dianalambert @zstavely This is a terrible disservice to California’s 6 million students.

[Holly Korbey @HKorbey]

Speaking as a parent, if you honestly believe that making sure teachers have decent curriculum is evil, then your own kids aren't in public schools. Once you see what kids learn, and how widely it varies from classroom to classroom in the same building, you can never unsee it.

We are so excited!!!!

Who's excited for this episode to drop?

Teachers deserve to be prepared with effective, research-backed training and curriculum. Students deserve a public education that guarantees their right to read. @AsmMuratsuchi, will you set a hearing for #AB2222?

[SF Parents #SFKidsCantWait @SFParents]

@jfenster @AsmBlancaRubio @edvoice @FamsInSchools @careads @WeAreCTA @dianalambert @zstavely What a disappointment. It’s time for everyone to be rowing in the same direction and fight for what our students need and deserve.

Asm. Rubio is willing to work with CTA to address their concerns. #AB2222 deserves a hearing in the Ed Comm. Will @AsmMuratsuchi schedule it? Please call his office today. [phone]

CTA declares it's against reading reform in #AB2222; author @AsmBlancaRubio @edvoice @FamsInSchools @careads ask @WeAreCTA: Will you work to improve bill or deny teachers #SOR training they lack & textbooks they need? by @dianalambert @zstavely &me https://t.co/aNj4kjZEKS

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Claude Goldenberg, a specialist on English Learner literacy, is one of the leaders speaking out to say that the bill absolutely advances the needs of ELL students:
https://t.co/wO2HlIPs44

This misunderstanding about the needs of ELLs is really problematic. @AFTunion’s publications put pressure on @WeAreCTA’s assertions about ELL needs.

How do we close this understanding gap, @BeckyPringle? It’s really not a good look for CTA.

With only 4 in 10 third-graders reading on grade level it is time for comprehensive early literacy reform. #AB2222 (Rubio) is the best path forward to close the reading achievement gap in California.

[reading4berkeley @read4berkeley]

There is overwhelming support for literacy reform in CA.

#AB222 needs a hearing date scheduled by next week. Let @AsmMuratsuchi know that voters want this bill heard in the Assembly Education Committee.

This is why #AB2222 for comprehensive early literacy legislation is so important. Chair @AsmMuratsuchi needs to schedule a hearing in Assembly Education. This bill deserves to be heard!
