NEW: UC San Diego has released a new report documenting a “steep decline in the academic preparedness” of its freshmen.
The number of entering students needing remedial math has exploded from 1/100 to 1/8.
They’ve had to create a second remedial class covering elementary and middle school math skills in addition to the one covering gaps from high school.

The rates of neurodevelopmental disorders are rising exponentially.
The cause isn't a change in our genetics.
We must prioritize understanding and protecting the brain health of our children.

Math Academy begins with a diagnostic assessment and report that measures strengths and weaknesses in their current grade level but also identifies any missing foundational material from prior courses. We create a custom course that will then get them where they need to be.
Nationally, 90% of parents think their children are reading and doing math at or above grade level. In fact, only 26% of eighth graders are proficient or above in math and 31% are proficient or above in English, according to @BeALearningHero. #caedu

Early literacy screening is NOT expensive and does NOT take long. Quick, effective, researched based and will help inform teacher practice for tier 1 + intervention! The teacher load is LESS if you screen! @ER_Illinois

If you want to get a basic idea of how people learn to read, and you have very little time to spare, in this video I try to describe reading development to @mrbartonmaths in under *8 minutes*. (He then asks some great questions afterwards.)
