Over the last 5 months I have been updating my research on reading comprehension, both in terms of my methods and in terms of new studies. This process has led to me changing my position on the importance of knowledge and reading comprehension. Blog: www.pedagogynongrata.com/_files/ugd/2...

“what we know is that lang. & word reading need to be built across the curriculum so that we don’t neglect lang. early on, but we don’t want to neglect word reading later. It’s not a relay race, where word reading is handed off to language. It’s a parallel structure.” www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Stumbled on this 2002 RF Elmore piece: Hard Questions About Practice. 21 years later & I found it’s still relevant as discussions ⭕️ around the same systems issues. The only key diff. may be “distributed leadership” is more of a thing..and yes, I put it in quotations. www.ascd.org/el/articles/...
