Yes! @KJWinEducation. The question is: Do we have the will to teach all children to read? Remember y’all - reading is the epicenter of equity and liberatory education, not high dose tutoring.
"If half the kids can't read without paying for outside tutors, you don't have an 'intervention problem' - you have a core instruction problem." An official told me that was "deep" My respnse: It's really not. We just abandoned common sense to justify practices and outcomes.

Pay attention everyone. This is the challenge: The conflating of teaching reading and the science of reading with being only about “phonics”. Educate yourselves, friends. Every teacher is a reading teacher. That includes fluency, word study (vocabulary), and comprehension.
And as I said, even if we did teach the low ability kids who need phonics with strict phonics and they decoded beautifully, they'd still be behind because vocabulary, not decoding, is the primary issue of reading comprehension.

The @EdsNotDeadPC convo on Thxgiving dinner is an example of differences in cultural norms on the holiday 😄 Corn casserole @RWDodd? Rutabaga @CHSiddons? But yes #pecanpie! @petercrable (And the rest of the episode on #SEL is good too)

Great discussion on #SEL in schools - purpose, appropriateness, what it is & isn't. Whether a formal curriculum or not, kids are learning about themselves & others all the time. & agree - some of confusion is b/c folks want to make it the fix-all for everything wrong in schools.
New Episode is up! The guys discuss a Fordham Institute piece that disparages #SEL...meanwhile in the real world, listen to our podcast and then visit @caselorg to learn more about what SEL actually is @chsiddons @petercrable @rwdodd edsnotdeadpc.libsyn.com/the-…

Will be checking out @EdsNotDeadPC talk about #SEL in schools.
Replying to @EdsNotDeadPC
For more insight on our discussion, check out the article for yourself: fordhaminstitute.org/nationa… TLDR? It's an inaccurate portrayal of what SEL is in schools today...if you've been physically in a school, that is. Don't forget - pod drops tomorrow! Listen & review us on iTunes!

Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned a lot about how the adolescent brain works and what motivates middle schoolers. Yet a lot of their findings aren’t making it into classroom practice. (via @hechingerreport) to.pbs.org/3yU82j9

The very opposite of what @Ready4rigor and I discussed on #PandemicPass and @EdsNotDeadPC - time to flip our mindset and language from deficit thinking to one that highlights students’ superpowers and ability to always / continuously learn @petercrable @RWDodd @DanaGoldstein
I can’t read this article. Sorry, Dana. Kids, like mine, lost an entire year of school. Let’s not spin this. Kids are not resilient. They need to catch up. Just give them extra after-school tutoring, summer school, and vow to never do this to them ever again.

At least twenty states either are considering or have adopted legislation related to the science of reading. Hear Fordham's @rpondiscio discuss how this might impact the instructional environment and contribute to greater equity on @EdsNotDeadPC. gadf.ly/3nLTPjM
