ICYMI Episode #9. The system that allowed @LucyCalkins @FountasPinnell and @HeinemannPub to deliver faulty products for decades was fueled by a lack of knowledge about #SOR and how brains learn to read by many colleges of education. @apmreports

“At least 79% of school districts surveyed by @WisconsinDPI in 2021 said they use a curriculum that is either not rated or is negatively rated by EdReports. About 80% of school districts participated in the survey.” Striking stat in @danielle_duclos’s coverage of today’s curriculum decisions. greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/edu…

@KISD @katyisd_ELEMCI our friends to the east @AldineISD and @drgoffney have lead the way in the move to #structuredliteracy. It’s not only about high quality resources @Amplify, you also need experts to train your leaders and T’s. @HMH does neither.

How did @AldineISD go from 30% of 3rd graders reading on grade level to 50%... in just 2 years? 🙌 It's a curriculum story. Great window into this work from @Ms_ARMack: @drgoffney @DrFavy @clynvan1 @delgadong94 @emytomita @WarfordMatt the74million.org/article/case-s…

@LeslieLaud @BoksnerJudy @jillbarshay So, does this mean that buying a “knowledge building” program will be the answer? Mandates to purchase a “curriculum” will fall flat. I am all for building knowledge with complex texts. The rush to BUY the magic box will only make publishers (and influencers) $$$$.

“The study makes it very clear (as have a few others recently) that it is possible to combine reading with social studies and science curriculum in powerful ways that can improve both literacy and content knowledge." @ReadingShanahan hechingerreport.org/proof-points-l…

Thankfully districts that support teachers as experts instead of forcing curriculum with fidelity won’t face this but 🚨🚨🚨 there is no time for novels in bloated basals unless the teacher makes time and that’s a problem.

I recently spoke with a Brooklyn mom leading a parent-led effort to push Into Reading out of its school. She is also a former teacher. Two highlights from the conversation: "My fifth grade daughter hasn’t read a book yet this year." (As of March!)
