A list of bills @GovernorKayIvey signed into law today does not include either the Literacy Act retention delay or the change to Tier II teacher benefits. Tomorrow is the deadline for action by the Governor. #aledchat al.com/news/2021/05/battle-b…

Best decision, Son @ 1% in many areas, after NOW! reads <2 grade levels above with 98% accuracy. Identified late in 7th grade, remediated just before 9th HS started. #Dyslexia #DyslexiaScience Remediate then you no longer have to accommodate!

Every time I look at the Alabama Education Report Card, I find myself asking more questions about what the numbers tell us and wondering whose responsibility it is to move the numbers to improve outcomes and opportunities for Alabama’s children.

❤️Yes, let’s do this!
The science of reading is based upon brain research on how children learn. fMRI data gives us the answer. ‼️
We know better and shame on us if we don’t choose to do better. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
We can’t expect different results doing the same old things.
So when teachers are taught the science of reading and how their students’ brains work their students learn more? 😲. Let’s do this Alabama! #everyteacher #kidsdeserveit #MovingForward

All Alabama parents and teachers should be calling their legislators and SBOE members asking them to make sure the #AlabamaLiteracyAct is implemented to fidelity.
Do you support ALL kids learning to read?
@RepTerriCollins @GarlanGudgerJr @SenatorAOrr
Can new education policies help improve education in Alabama?
***Not unless those who are tasked with "interpreting" the Literacy Act are working towards finding a way to implement it rather than finding ways around it.***

Reading ‘Crisis’:
“These are parents who were really just asking for something so basic and so fundamental,”
This is why we have a Literacy Act in Alabama. Now let’s follow it to fidelity so that ALL kids receive the type of instruction they need. thecity.nyc/2019/09/reading-…

Why construction, they may ask? Because you don't need a four-year degree to earn a competitive salary. bit.ly/2IyZmFv

Educators. For the love of children: please put this aside & visit @reading_league & listen to @ehanford’s podcast series on reading & #dyslexia. Parents: pls don’t accept “guessing strategies” for your student —demand instruction based on cognitive science and evidence.
