The SOR Policy Tax: 1. more workbooks, fewer real books 2. more skill practice, less writing 3. more low-level "trainings" less development 4. more $ on materials, less on anything else

Thanks, @RacheGabriel, for bringing these headlines to our attention. My take is that we are banning effective programs because someone's defective theory says they can't work. Perhaps this is a bumble bee effect. Bumble bees can fly, even though, according to some theories, they should not be able to. The problem is obviously with the defective theory, not with the Bumble Bees. Let's start using ALL the science and ALL the research to help inform our educational policies. Thanks again, Rachel! #useallthe research. #SOR

Give lots of time and attention to why children can’t be expected to behave at the same standards as they used to, and we will get lots more children feeling they don’t have to behave at those standards.

Listen, I have yet to see any evidence that Balanced Literacy as theory or actual practice is the reason for reading struggles in kids. Maybe if there was research that proved it I would be more receptive. Unlike folks who use LETRS I do like research to justify my decisions. 😘

The real “Sold a Story” @OHEducation @GovMikeDeWine
We know state SoR policies are squarely in the privatization era of policy-making, not the accountability era because they're anti-competition:

Experienced teachers: Please do not opt-out of meeting with the instructional coach. Meeting with expert teachers allows the coach to learn from them. This makes the coach better, resulting in the entire school getting better.

The debate whether restorative justice in schools is working or not is fascinating. Most of the research is stating it’s a miserable failure. What do you think? Restorative justice…

My first interview as a certified teacher asked me what the 5 components of reading were. I pulled on what I learned in college to answer that question. Since then, I’ve kept that at the heart of all I do for teaching reading. Reading is MUCH more than decoding.

Yes! So much of this.... vowel valley sound walls are a perfect example of this!
