Lindsay Kemeny Solution Tree Thanks, Lindsay! You’ve helped inspire me to see that teachers - not just researchers - need to have a voice in what the science of reading looks like in action.

If you’re “teaching the standards” you’ve already lost your way. Teach your lessons and curriculum TO the standard. Curriculum is architecture; standards are building codes.

"Direct instruction is NOT lecturing. It's highly interactive!" Zach Groshell researchED Canada

I’ve long said that teachers should rely more on whole class feedback compared to individual feedback. Aka “batch feedback”, you circulate during work, you pull out what 80-100% needs to be working on, then pause and have a class discussion followed by students acting upon it.

I love the Tonys. I win one every day in the shower.

Accreditation has value and earning a PhD is an incredible accomplishment (one I don’t have). But I also think that we cannot rely on appeals to authority alone. I’d take the advice of a teacher with 10 years experience over a PhD, who only spent 2 years in the classroom.

Evidence-based practices are not "dogmatic" or "soul-crushing." It gives teachers and students the tools they need to be successful. In my new blog post, I share a story that shows just how powerful these practices can be. Link below ⬇️

I loved hearing about this thoughtful Massachusetts pilot of UF Literacy Institute! bconway56.wixsite.com/pentucketblog/…

UFLI works, and it works quickly when implemented with fidelity and fully supported with ongoing coaching. I’m working with multiple schools that are implementing it (some implemented mid-year), and they are experiencing rapid growth! Go UFLI, go! #UFLI #SOR

Teachers need sufficient background knowledge to teach content effectively. So in awe of and grateful for Laura Stam and Anjanette McNeely for doing this work for all of us!

We can’t wait to find out! #KnowledgeMatters

📢 Meet Host #3: Natalie Wexler is back! Author of Beyond the Science of Reading, she’s diving into how writing boosts thinking + learning. “We’ll take the science of learning beyond reading into writing.” 🎧 Episode 1 drops June 24: knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/ #KnowledgeMatters

We are with you from screening to classwide intervention to small-group & individual intervention & everything in between. Now we tell you when you’ve had a successful RTI for a student & give you the details to share w their parents & caregivers.

In the 2000’s, England was slipping badly in international rankings for both reading and math. Today, it’s 4th in the world in reading, and rising swiftly in math. What did England do? ✅ Mandated phonics in early grades curriculum ✅ Shifted to a knowledge-centered

Delighted that the trailer for season 3 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast, with Doug Lemov, Natalie Wexler and me is now here: bit.ly/KMPs03trailer

It was UF Literacy Institute UFLI Foundations today here in Pentucket for 35 of our K-2 staff who opted into a pilot for next year. We got into the nitty gritty + gave each other feedback on instruction. Loved our FAQ jigsaw, too! So proud of this group of reflective educators ! #ufli

Starting next week I'll be co-hosting the Knowledge Matters Campaign podcast w Dylan Wiliam & Natalie Wexler, pursuing topics on how the science of learning can better guide literacy instruction. I'm VERY excited 📅 New episodes drop here: knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/ pic.x.com/sODTikxgYy

Can’t wait for this!
