The evidence for the importance of high-quality clinical experience is undeniable. However, the #2020TPR from @NCTQ finds the vast majority of elementary teacher prep programs don’t do the one thing that can make or break student teaching: nctq.org/2020TPRPractice

I'm glad that so many of my colleagues stand with me in our commitment to fight for a more literate America. It's time we give every child in America the most essential tool they need to imagine, to create, and to dream - the ability to read.
