I have just completed a series of four professional development videos on the subject of teaching effective whole-class reading lessons.

These videos contain high-quality footage of me teaching each part of the reading lesson structures from Primary Reading Simplified.

It’s been a rough start to the school year in NYC so I’m reposting this. It’s in the application where the learning sticks. I’m seeing lots of 40-min lessons where sts read and write less than 5 words. That doesn’t work. Implementing a flawed program w/ fidelity ensures failure.

@CoreyJPeltier @tiffany_peltier Got it, looking forward to that!

[Tom Knutson @tknutson07]

@CoreyJPeltier @tiffany_peltier This is very relevant to a study I am doing. Would you be able to provide the study this table came from? Thanks for considering!

🚨New Pub Alert 🚨Using quant survey data we explored how three organizational factors — admin support, school culture, and curricula — contribute to teachers' self-reported knowledge and use of culturally responsive education https://t.co/OO5gTQFvHB

Interested in the sources of inequity in the distribution of teachers across students? We (big group of co-authors) analyzed teacher sorting using a long panel from WA. Here's a link to the published version of the paper (50 days of free access):

Dr. @TiffanyPHogan presenting on the importance of researchers getting into schools to better understand how to implement effective practices.

“If you’re doing a study in schools but aren’t listening to partners, it’s just GEOGRAPHY, not implementation science.” #dyslexiacon23

One of our field’s most eminent geneticists, Elena Grigorenko: “there is probably never going to be a genetic test for dyslexia.” As you can imagine, there was a murmur in the room. #DyslexiaCon2023

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

[Dr Kate de Bruin @DrKatedeBruin]

Important new meta-analysis showing streaming/ability grouping does not improve students' achievement but does increase inequality.
It's time to end such outdated, inefficient and harmful practices

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

"SoR is at risk of turning into a new pedagogical dogma, consisting of a small set of tenets loosely tied to some classic but dated research, supplemented by additional assumptions that are ad hoc and ill-advised"

NEW EPISODE
In this chat, I speak with implementation scientist @rkomesidou. She gives an overview of what things schools should consider before implementing something, how leaders can support the process & what things to avoid.

[Elizabeth Reenstra @GuidingLiteracy]

Was reminded of this quote (and powerful reminder) that I had highlighted some time ago while listening to a podcast. Some added food for thought - How often do we admit and/or check in on our biases? The episode is linked below, thanks @S_Oberle for the recommendation.

Man - this is SO good.

[Matt Barnum @matt_barnum]

NEW: 50 years ago the Supreme Court ruled that there is no right in the Constitution to an education or to equal school funding.

I've spent months examining the dubious and disturbing social science that was used to justify the decision.
