Learning to read (and write) is a basic human right.⚖️ Have you read the OHRC Right to Read inquiry report?👀 This is such an important Canadian document that is helping provinces and territories recognize the inequities and barriers in education. #BCEd #BCEdChat #BCPoli #BCTF #BCPVPA

I've been teaching for 25+ years, and it's only been within the last 5 that I was introduced to the hierarchy of evidence. I wonder how many programs and initiatives are promoted in #BCEd with little to no evidence. Is it a matter of who has the loudest voice & the largest platform? Hmm...
