Former Reading Recovery/BL/workshop model teacher. Current Structured Literacy reading specialist. Know better, do better.







Yesterday, a former student called about daughter's new teacher: "Mr Weaver, I had you 2 years; we did government, civics, history, and I STILL don't know if you're a Republican or Democrat. This teacher's there 1 day, and we know everything. She's 7, what are you doing?" 1/2











I am zero percent surprised to see that the biggest NAEP bright spot is a state that made curriculum improvement its calling card. Congrats, Louisiana! From @SupeJohnWhite: “the essence of the plan remains constant: select evidence-backed curricula, build teachers’ skill every day on the practices needed for those curricula, and be transparent about the results schools achieve.” Supes who’ve attempted to stymie curriculum reform, like Wisconsin’s @DrJillUnderly, would do well to take note.
