Screenings are so important to providing every student what they need. Once you know where the weakness is you can find the skills that are the cause of the problem and remediate them. #structuredliteracy

@karenvaites It’s the belief that learning can be packaged, scaled, and delivered through programs in the first place. That’s the part we still aren’t interrogating.

New OpEd by Molly Worthen runs the table on the concerns about tech-enabled education.

Here's the question nobody's asking: Why does implementation keep failing? Is it because teachers are incompetent? No. Is it because the research is wrong? No.

@DanaPalubiak @BenisonMrs If you can’t turn your data into prescriptive classroom whole group and small group instruction, why assess! This knowledgeable person is what schools lack

iReady. NWEA. State tests. We benchmark kids constantly, sit in PLCs, analyze the data… and then nothing changes in the classroom. At some point you have to ask: is this about learning or just looking like we’re doing something?

@karr_pe @CurriculumIP Depending on grade level, not every student is ready for a chapter book. However from 1st grade up, there are students ready to read chapter books and this should be happening during small group.

Our school district doesn't have time in the ELA curriculum for books and novels anymore. We use HMH now. Fast pacing chart monitored by district administration. Oh, you can still read books if you find the time. But there is no time.

Law enforcement has the authority to disperse assemblies that violate these laws and make arrests if individuals refuse to comply

While individuals have a right to protest and assemble peacefully under the First Amendment, these rights are subject to "reasonable time, place, and manner" restrictions [1]. This means that protests cannot infringe on public safety or block essential infrastructure like roads.

In the United States, you generally do not have a right to block a public road to prevent someone from doing their job [1, 2].  Blocking public roads or public right-of-ways is typically illegal under various federal, state, and local laws, and can result in criminal charges

President Trump says funding for the Hudson River Tunnel in NYC is now terminated. Democrats shut down the government to try to get free healthcare for illegals. That’s unforgivable. Democrat states and cities deserve nothing. They get nothing.

A school without a solid, consistent curriculum from year-to-year is a rudderless educational ship.

Small group should be based in text, but not every student is ready for connected text or chapter books. Some need decodable text, or grade level fluency passages to build the skills necessary for connected text.

@MrKWisconsin Mr K This just goes to show good instruction can give the students the skills they need to be successful. Their progress should inspire you and those in your school that instruction is moving in the right direction.

Each of these students received high quality, structured literacy Tier 1 instruction and high quality, intensive Tier 2 intervention. They have made amazing growth over the past year and now see themselves as readers. My goal? 0 Read Plans this spring. Buckle up! Time to work!

As a requirement of Wisconsin Act 20, schools are now required to create Read Plans for students who fall beneath the 25th percentile on a universal screener. In 3rd, we focus on ORF. In my class of 22, I have 6 students on a Read Plan. Let's learn more about them... thread

My advice to NEW #teachers: 1) Union up! In general, go with the one that costs more. 2) Prioritize your health, whatever that may look like for you. 3) Email like it will be read aloud in court. It may very well be. #Back2School What else?

Had a great learning experience at LETRS Applied. Data holds the key to improvement. #Lexia #LETRS
