Admiring the hard work of Dr. Godfrey and her staff! Selecting materials for the students of Aldine ISD took time and attention to the community they serve. I can’t wait to hear more about their successes! #instructionalVision4theWin EdReports.org

ā€œThe move to rigorous content has been challenging but necessary to achieve equityā€ We’re so lucky to have the brilliant Sonja Santelises as a partner in the important work of ensuring every student has access to high-quality instructional materials. forbes.com/sites/nataliew…

When the vision of what you hope to achieve in the classroom doesn't match your curriculum, it's time to look for a different curriculum. @jessemelgares @NewTeacherCtr #materialsmatter

Dr. Alfred Tatum’s keynote this morning is on šŸ”„! ā€œA basic/proficient reading mindset gives power over kids livesā€. A 40% proficient reading goal leaves out 60% of kids! 😳that is unacceptable! UnboundEd

What a strange time we’re in. I just read 2 opposite stories about parents supporting (or not) kids. In 1 story, parents were literally teasing & booing a HS student. In the 2nd, ā€œDads on Dutyā€ showed up at a Louisiana HS to help stop student fighting. More #2 please!#dadsonduty

Alternatives to requirements that teachers turn in lesson plans for review-- e.g., maybe we should look at the curriculum or pay attention to student work or go into classrooms. #CurriculumMattersMA principalcenter.com/alternatives-t…

Ultimately, teachers are solely responsible for delivering the instructional materials a district decides to choose. Their experiences and expertise should inform what is selected. Shannah Estep suggests clear strategies to engage educators upfront 2/2 edreports.org/resources/arti…

Friends…we can’t keep doing this teachers. Not only are they suffering but so are students. It’s too much! Give Ts something great to go from and let them use their talent to make it come to life. It’s not šŸš€ science! It’s a win-win! #materialsmatter

From our work in the field, we’ve seen some districts excel at engaging educators in meaningful ways and have learned this almost always begins with involving them in the process as early as possible. Shannah Estep shares a few best practices to get started. edreports.org/resources/arti…
