"Policymakers are saying – no more. We don’t want to spend taxpayer money on things that aren’t working. We want schools to teach kids to read in ways that line up with scientific evidence. I’m watching all this and I’m hopeful. But I’m also worried." open.spotify.com/episode/2b9cTi…

Six years ago today. We'd say our pick worked out ⏰

PD doesn't always have to happen in a library or conference room. It can also fit in a bag! Leader @sagold invites Ts to learn at the time and place of their choosing. Each bag contains a QR code linking to an article or reflection question, along with a corresponding gift.

RT if you agree

Only 62% of teachers teach longer than five years.

This request from the “58 literacy experts” never set well with me. Why? @FountasPinnell, @rrcna_org and @TCRWP have controlled the narrative for decades & now it’s time for them to listen to the voices they have failed & repeatedly ignored. Our kids are the rest of the story.

Principals don’t need teachers with every academic strategy in their pocket. They need passionate educators excited about teaching kids and driven to make a difference.

Treating teachers like professionals is critical for morale. * Trust their input/ feedback * If you need to meet w/ them, let them know why * No unnecessary meetings, btw many are unnecessary * Don't address issue w/ staff that you have w/ one * Praise more than you critique
