Let's kickstart the Advancing Literacy Conference with Dr Wes Hoover and other amazing speakers Prof Rauno Parrila, @SaskiaKohnen @Adv_Literacy & Veronica Alexander @SpeldNSW

Diving into DIBELS data at a student level to identify gaps in early foundational reading skills. I can see most teachers' screens displaying their data spreadsheet. What a great feeling to see robust, valid assessments being used to inform teaching @SpeldNSW @Adv_Literacy

[SPELD NSW @SpeldNSW]

Excited to be at ACU with @Adv_Literacy and Sydney Catholic Schools listening to Dr Wesley Hoover speaking on the Simple View of Reading.

Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

Congratulations @SignyWegener !!

[Signy Wegener @SignyWegener]

Excited & grateful to share that my @arc_gov_au #DECRA application was successful. I’ll be spending the next 3 years working out how children adjust their mispronunciations as they learn to read new words. Huge thanks to my collaborators and mentors #DE25 @Adv_Literacy @ACUmedia

With @dizdarm announcing the focus on explicit instruction, @NSWEducation schools could really benefit from listening to @manisha_gazula & @TVtheTeacher to gain a deeper understanding as to what effective instruction actually is.

[Paul @pmac1610]

It takes 70 exposures to unlearn an embedded error. This is why we shouldn't use launch, explore, summarise or you do, we do, you do. Good explicit teaching is I do, we do, you do. Teach First. #schollexcellence #edi #explicitteaching

[SPELD NSW @SpeldNSW]

Explicit instruction is evidence-based and supports all learners!

[Murat Dizdar @dizdarm]

2024 CESE What Works Best insights summary shows how explicit teaching drives learning & student engagement. The resource defines explicit teaching, explains why it works, & how it delivers equity & excellence in NSW public schools.  https://t.co/PvIjB7woNO

Congratulations @MarsdenRoad - a school with a long term commitment to both explicit instruction and to supporting ALL their students in literacy and numeracy!!

How our school transformed our reading and maths results.

Some wonderful schools doing incredible work for their students!!

[Murat Dizdar @dizdarm]

Students who experience explicit teaching practices make greater learning gains than those who don’t. So it’s great to connect with the Effective & Systematic Teaching Network who are working together to improve practice. Thanks to the network for the opportunity to engage today.

[SPELD NSW @SpeldNSW]

@dizdarm Some great schools doing incredible work for their students in this network!!

The Education Ministers Meeting yesterday confirmed that the core content in the #TEEP report will be added to the ITE accreditation standards. This isn't the end of the process, and don't underestimate what it took to get this far, but it's a step forward

Thanks for sharing this valuable information about #DLD

[David Kinnane @speechbloke]

#DLDday More than 10 years ago, our son was diagnosed with what is now known as #DevLangDis. It was a very stressful time, and we found very little accessible information about it. #DLD didn’t even have an agreed name! BUT…
