Great Convo with @JILLSLASTWORD & constituent around the @OntHumanRights #RightToRead report. Jill gets that this is about more than just 'phonics' & 'reading'. This whole thread ⬇️ @maritstiles @JoelHardenONDP @ETFOeducators @beyrima @IDA_Ontario @dyslexiaON @dyslexia_canada

@JILLSLASTWORD Thank you! I posted this inquiry to your ridings FB group. I am happy to meet with you and discuss the inquiry and our journey navigating the school system with dyslexia.

[Alicia Smith @AliciaFromTiny]

This prof at @brockueducation seems completely unaware of the National Reading panel, Ontario's 2003 expert panel on early reading and the last 30 years of reading research. This is why the #RightToRead Inquiry was necessary, teachers deserve better teachers! @CBCNews

@CTVToronto @Sflecce the literacy curriculum just got a giant ❌ from the Ontario Human Right Commissions Right to Read inquiry. Are you going to rewrite that portion of the curriculum as well…..as per the 100+ recommendations made by the OHRC?

[Dr. Lisa Beth Carey @EquitableAccess]

Neuromyths 🧠 & Disability: 50% of the general public and 90% of #teachers believe the myth that #Dyslexia includes visual perception difficulties- like letter reversals - a myth that has been debunked since 1996. (Gini et al, 2021)

Teachers, have you grabbed your copy of "Dyslexia in the Classroom" by IDA? It's a helpful resource and it's free!
Find it here: https://t.co/pO55KbaEXP #dyslexia

New spots now open!! We're thrilled to be hosting this #StructuredLiteracy course for Ontario public school educators during the 2021-2022 school year. For details, visit https://t.co/eooGoXiEcP #Dyslexia #RightToRead

[Alicia Smith @AliciaFromTiny]

So glad to see these discussions happening!! There's a lot of exciting movement and enthusiasm for moving forward with changes to reading instruction in Ontario Thank you @OntHumanRights for your important work in this area.

[The OHRC @OntHumanRights]

#COVID19 and other factors have delayed some elements of the #RightToRead inquiry. A report, which will include detailed findings and recommendations for government, school boards and education stakeholders, is now planned for release in fall 2021.

@shelleylaskin @tdsb @TDSBDirector @manonjgardner As a parent who had to (and continues) fight to get a child with a SEVERE learning disability any type of assistance, I’m not holding my breath that the board is going to provide support for these kids out of good will. #tdsbfail #cantsweepthisunderthisrug

[Ryan Watts @ryan28969285]

@shelleylaskin @tdsb @TDSBDirector @manonjgardner This was an illogical reorganization. Why were grades 3/4 affected when upper grades maintained their qualified French teacher during English instruction times? How many upper grades have a French teacher 100%? #tdsbfail

[AmericanExpat @NastyinToronto]

@rchernoslin @owenpublic @tdsb @manonjgardner @ChastyJohn “Who has provided so much support and commitment to French programming FOR SOME KIDS BUT NOT ALL KIDS @tdsb.”

Fixed it for you. #tdsbfail

[Carson At Home @CarsonAtHome]

@rchernoslin @owenpublic @tdsb @manonjgardner @ChastyJohn You mean @manonjgardner who lied to trustees last night about informing parents that we were told we would lose teachers? The one who is ensuring Virtual school students will receive less French education? @tdsbvs #tdsbfail

[Taylor Green @Taytaydgreen]

@rchernoslin @owenpublic @tdsb @manonjgardner @ChastyJohn She’s being celebrated for her support to the French program when she hasilty made a decision to cut 50% of the MANDATED curriculum to SOME virtual students and refuses to revisit it while teachers are going on leave because of it and children are devastated?

[Ryan Watts @ryan28969285]

@rchernoslin @owenpublic @tdsb @manonjgardner @ChastyJohn @manonjgardner Where is the support and commitment for the 100s of virtual students who were stripped of their FI teachers last week and now receive50%less French instruction than their peers?The inequality is massive. Why are we celebrating her destruction.

[Ryan Watts @ryan28969285]

@manonjgardner @Sflecce we need equality for all students right across the board. Stop punishing virtual FI students! #tdsbfail #cantsweepthisundertherug
