1st grade is critical

In both 90-10 and 50-50 #duallanguage programs, students deserve access to grade-level instruction in both program languages and in all content areas regularly. #bilingualism #bilingual #translanguaging

Great day of learning in Cleveland ISD!

Two teachers can teach the exact same lesson and get completely different results. The variable? The teachers’ passion and creativity. The power is not in the program. The power is in the magic the teacher brings. #multiplyexcellence

"Alabama... sent over 30,000 struggling readers to summer literacy camps last year. Half of those students tested at grade level by the end of the summer." I want to know more about this. Anyone have deeper details? apnews.com/article/readin…

PD in a Box coming soon! @ClevelandISDTX @GrowBigC @Allison_Alpha1 @CISD_DigiLearn @daniellethorp

Are we still calling it a difference in philosophy? Or is it an unwillingness to learn and evolve? We should examine our practices and fix what isn’t working. I’m proud to be a part of the change. #structure #literacy #phonicsneverhurtanyone

@rrcna_org @DeputySuptCISD Propaganda.

“'Structured Literacy' is a lot like parent-coached sports for little kids. It meets a lot of adult needs, but very few kid needs." irasocol.medium.com/the-fluent-rea…

FYI- It has never been so. Those who still say that it is so are just using it as a red herring to delegitimize the movement. How do I know? B/C it does not matter how often we say so they continue to state that we are a phonics-only movement.
