Day #2 of #KnowledgeMatters School Tour in @wcpsmd in @MdPublicSchools launched with Associate Superintendent Gary Williams detailing why they moved away from balanced literacy to knowledge-building @Amplify CKLA.
“Our data was not improving!”
@Amplify@MarylandReads@wcpsmd It’s always great to be in a knowledge-building classroom!! Mr. Boswell leads his 3rd graders through a discussion to determine what rich soil is!
Spoiler alert..rich soil doesn’t have a lot of money!!

Our #KnowledgeMatters School Tour has arrived in @wcpsmd in @MdPublicSchools.
Getting to observe 5th graders engaged in a discussion of Ruby Bridges was the perfect way to launch this tour.
Students focused on gaining knowledge to answer this ❓: How did Ruby make history?
Some of the BEST 4th grade scientist are designing & collecting data to determine why we can see the roots of trees that grow near rivers/streams. @ArgumentDriven @EllistarTara@drwilliamsonBES@tamsyn78@RRothAP
