I worry about schools that choose to adopt 1/2 of #CKLA. If we only do Knowledge & skip Skills in favor of a different “phonics program” simply bc we already know it, kids miss 1/2 the writing instruction & opportunities to read rich skills-aligned texts. This is a G1 example:

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Thanks a bunch to Anna Geiger for welcoming me back to the Reach All Readers podcast! In episode #236 we talk about the origins of RTI/MTSS and its promises as it pertains to reading, barriers to success, and implementation tips moving forward. 🤓 #EduSky #EduChat podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Trump threatens to intervene if Iran kills peaceful protesters

"We are locked and loaded and ready to go," the president said on Truth Social early Friday, after economic protests in the Islamic Republic took a sharply violent turn.

Truly honored to be part of this important event & excited to visit Ireland 💚! Can’t wait to meet the delightful Irish teachers I’ve had the pleasure of greeting online 🤓. Looking forward to being among friends & esteemed colleagues in Dublin. Thanks to the organizers & sponsors! 🇮🇪 #EduSky #EduCoach

What are some administrative barriers to schools achieving student literacy success through their RTI/MTSS plans? Sometimes we have to have the uncomfortable conversations. These slides are from a series I facilitated with some brave NYS school leaders. #EduCoach #EduChat

During family-teacher conferences tomorrow afternoon, I get to work with a room full of talented and dedicated paraprofessionals! Students reap the benefits when schools invest in the learning and development of paras. 🖤🧡🤓 #EduSky #EduCoach

Teacher: “Do you remember this guy from 1st grade? We are starting a new book today and we get to learn from Rattenborough again!” Students: “Yesssss!” “Awwww! I like him!” “Woo-hoo!” These 3rd graders are excited to meet Rattenborough again. Let’s read and write! #CKLA

It was so much fun to provide the first professional learning session in my Getting Started with the Science of Reading Series for Irish educators! 💚 Thank you for your interest and dedication, and I’ll see you at Session 2!🤓

Sincere thanks to Dr. Heidi for delivering a fantastic session tonight as part one of her webinar series on the science of reading. You really connected with your Irish audience Heidi 😊Looking forward to part 2 already. 😊 @drheidibc.bsky.social

🧵 #EduSky #EduChat A number of schools I support use aimswebPlus as their universal screening and progress monitoring tool. The company released new norms this fall and there are significant differences, especially with the ORF norms. Schools are struggling to make sense of how to

Day 1 for Tiger staff & let me tell you I will be leaning *hard* into Tiger fashion this year! Giving Bean is here to make sure these educators are deliciously caffeinated, & a portion of proceeds benefits our cubs! 🐯 ☕️ Happy back-to-school season, everyone, and *thank you* 🤓 #EduSky #EduChat

I got to spend the last 2 days with Western NY educators who are refreshed, rejuvenated & ready to put their new learning into action! There’s nothing quite like lighting a spark that sends teachers back to school excited abt their teaching & knowing you’ll be back to support them. #EduSky #EduCoach

🧵When leading long-term professional learning and school transformation guided by SoR, it’s important to regularly zoom back out to the big picture in between close-up looks at specific topics. How do concepts relate to each other? This helps educators move from declarative and

It feels fabulous to plant roots in my new public school district role & still have the flexibility to support educators worldwide. Looking forward to more moments like this: My colleague said, “If a little girl comes up to you and asks to borrow a cup of sugar, that’s Lola.”🤣💖 #EduSky #EduCoach

Looking forward to this, Ireland! Thank you for having me, @clanavtra.bsky.social 🤓🇮🇪 #EduSky #EduCoach

Australia has always held a special place in my heart. So thankful for the opportunity to help boost professional learning with the Queensland Literacy Leaders Hub and Erin Morgan! 💖🇦🇺 🤓📚📈 #EduSky #EduCoach

It was 104 degrees yesterday in Western NY and I had the pleasure of spending the day with a team of admin & teacher leaders who are ready to align their literacy instruction, assessment, & RTI/MTSS processes with the scientific evidence base. These powerhouse educators are (1/2)

Back in the desert for the New Mexico Summer Literacy Convening! Hope to see you at a session! (Bonus pic: Sipping a latte in my dear friend & colleague Allison’s backyard. Zoom in to see Rio Rancho High School, which is where Walter White taught chemistry in #BreakingBad!) #EduCoach #EduSky

Thrilled to be able to be immersed in the practice and learning of real-world public school employment again *and* continue to support educators nationally and globally through HBC Literacy Consulting, LLC! 🤓 📚 📈 #EduSky #EduCoach

Looking forward to gettin’ nerdy with y’all tonight! #EduSky #EduCoach

Very happy to be returning for the third time to present a couple of sessions at the New Mexico Public Education Department’s Summer Literacy Convening! Join me on June 12 to chat and learn about: 1) When Big Kids Struggle to Read 2) Basic Assessment Structures for RTI/MTSS/MLSS. #EduSky #EduCoach

🧵When RTI language popped up after the reauthorization of IDEA in 2004, many schools adopted CBM suites with nationally normed ORF measures (DIBELS, Aimsweb, etc.), which is excellent, but only if we know how to interpret the data. More often than not, I end up in data meetings,

Can. Not. Wait… to lead this webinar for school admins & teachers today. I studied the origins of reading-related RTI and implementation in NYS for my doctoral dissertation. Findings have implications for the new commitment to the science of reading in NYS and beyond. See you soon, NYSASCD! 🤓📚📈

🧵 What if we stopped displaying and talking about universal screening data in RTI/MTSS systems as triangles/pyramids? Would it make more visual sense to use bar graphs or something else? Would it eliminate the distracting discourse of the “upside down” triangle or the “inverted”
