Behind every effective literacy intervention, every proven math strategy, and every equitable policy is research—much of it made possible through the work of the Institute of Education Sciences. IES helps bridge the gap between data and classroom practice. #standupforresearch #ies

"The program explicitly teaches letter sounds, how they correspond to print, and how to blend letters together into words. But Lane thinks the opportunity for a lot of practice—applying these skills in different contexts, again and again—sets UFLI apart." www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

What results do your systems get? If they aren’t the results you are looking for, it is the system that needs changed. Is it your training, curriculum, screener, implementation? There is an answer, you just need to be brave enough to find it. #untilallcanread #ourkidscantwait

In an effort to denigrate explicit teaching and its practitioners, people will often say it’s “easy” and “basic”, while implying you only graduate into excellent teaching if you embrace ineffective methods. More on this on 🎙️ Thinking Deeply about Primary Education open.spotify.com/episode/0Lez...
