Check out the new updated Free SOR Resources app on Teaching by Science: www.teachingbyscience.com/free-sor-res... I’ll be making a lot of additions to this over the next month. If you see something you feel is missing, please let me know.

I'm very proud to share a new, first-of-its-kind analysis and data tool from my team at @educationwork.newamerica.org. Redrawing the Lines is a first-ever look at how, if states draw school district borders with equity as the goal, they can HUGELY reduce funding inequality and segregation. #edusky

Two easy ways you can make your current phonemic awareness program better: 1. Write the drills on the board, so the students can see the letters. 2. Skip the manipulation and deletion drills. Stick to the segmenting and blending drills.

Fantastic article by Linda Kimoton on multi-sensory instruction. I would go so far as to suggest that this may be the biggest myth in the SOR movement. lindakimpton.substack.com

Why are SOR laws not working? www.teachingbyscience.com/sor-laws

Why are the so many peer reviewed papers, where a grad student with little to no teaching experience observes a class and then gives their criticisms of the class based on educational theory?

ThinkSRSD has basically created a way to make SRSD work for teachers in the classroom. So, if you want to know how to support your students in building their writing skills, I encourage you to give this one a listen! Listen here 👇 learnwithlee.net/kft-leslielaud/

My best tips for teaching vocabulary. 1. Don’t teach it insolation. 2. When you start new social studies and science units introduce the most important words for understanding the unit. 3. When you read a text as a class review the pronunciation and meaning of the most difficult words.

Delighted to be presenting my research at #TDaPEManchester next month! #EdChatIE

Are we teaching morphology the wrong way? www.pedagogynongrata.com/_files/ugd/2...

Started my MOY screening with my Gr 1 class. I’m seeing improvements in all children. Yes, still in the red but I’ve seen results go from 0-24ish with the nonsense word fluency. That’s huge growth! We need to work on fluency all around. Just picked up @timrasinski.bsky.social book to help!

Far too many educators and advocates seem to be bought into a sense of tribalism, casting inquiry or direct instruction as the enemy. @natejoseph.bsky.social and I discussed this: The @ThoughtStretchr Podcast: Bridging The Gap Between Ed Research And Practice. wegrowteachers.com/thoughtstret...

Found this really interesting!
