We will never solve the literacy crisis without investing in quality #TeacherPrep. Every year, thousands of new educators enter classrooms without the necessary training to teach #reading effectively. If we want different outcomes, we must start with how we prepare our teachers. #LiteracyMatters

How does failing to meet children's #literacy needs contribute to stress and anxiety? Check out "Literacy Now, Together" for Dr. Hodge's take on how many #SEL programs miss the mark, focusing on student characteristics rather than systemic issues, such as #illiteracy. (1/2)

"They're at 60%, we're at 20%—60 is not the standard, 100% should be the standard. I'm after excellence." How are low expectations impacting student achievement? What if we chose excellence instead of letting the highest performing group set the bar? More to come when ep. 2 drops 07/16 🎙️

"If a kid is two years behind, you’ve already taken tread off the tires. That’s two years emotionally, psychologically, mentally—that’s two years of feeling like, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ Two years of that. And a lot of kids just tap out." — FULCRUM's Kareem Weaver on the Dyslexia Duo

With the release of the #NAEP #reading results, the question is how to move the needle. #Districts have leverage—hiring practices send powerful messages, and supporting EPPs that ignore the research consensus perpetuates damage that is predictable and preventable.
