In the latest Vanguard from @SAANYS, Dr. Maria Murray discusses decades of stagnant reading scores & how evidence-aligned instruction can change the trajectory. It's time to move beyond tradition & embrace what the research has long shown about literacy. hubs.la/Q03gyVV20

I’ve always loved nature analogies, and the idea of having deep, strong roots resonates with me on many levels. I created this particular analogy to help #teachers reflect on how we, as #educators, can support resilience!🌱 #neuroscience #education #trauma #coregulation #PLN
