This interactive visual will help you learn to recognize the signals of two approaches to early reading: explicit, systematic phonics and balanced literacy. bit.ly/2WqoFR0 #elachat #reading

I love this @DTWillingham article on the importance of content knowledge to reading comprehension.
IMHO, it's the #1 article for sharing with parents and community members to explain this topic.

"All too often ... children ... of lower socioeconomic status ... are penalised for not knowing what their more affluent peers know. What’s often perceived as a difference in children’s ability is actually a difference in the quality and quantity of what they know."
On this--and in particular knowledge-building, literacy's most crucial piece--see also @DavidDidau: learningspy.co.uk/featured/e…

“I want my child’s pediatrician to practice medicine exactly the same as my dr did when I was a child, regardless of modern research.” Sounds absurd when said about medicine but said regularly about math education without flinching. #evidencebased #mtbos #STEMeducation

ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD LITERACY RESOURCE!
The @reading_league turned me onto this fab intro / overview of how kids learn to read.
Best thing I've read in ages!
The first of two docs explains the Simple View of Reading v. clearly:

Reminder: More does not equal harder; difficulty is not the same thing as complexity. Students crying & not sleeping b/c of a final exam does not mean it was rigorous. #sblchat #sschat #edchat #vted #masterychat

My org @achievethecore wants to hear from more voices in order to create free resources to best support all teachers/students. Please take this very quick survey and feel free to share. Thank you! bit.ly/2Kmg4ww #blackedu #blackmenteach #Educolor

I see this everyday. The little boy who struggles to get through a kindergarten level book and is obsessed with Lions will suddenly read a second grade text on Lions. This is why we must keep teaching science and social studies!
Important Reading Research That Almost No One Knows:
Ss’ content knowledge matters as much or more to their reading comprehension than their reading skill. REALLY.

A great read indicating why many middle schools should slow down the acceleration process for math students. @NJSTW1 @NJStandards #NJED #ByramPride #mtbos hechingerreport.org/opinion-…

The Coherence Map was our #1 most-often-used resource for the 2017-2018 school year. Explore the connections within your grade today and make plans to use the map to identify gaps and plan interventions. bit.ly/2pFhwNN #mathchat

Wow that’s crazy because coaching, not compliance, is what teachers need from principals. AND shockingly, coaching, not compliance, is what students need from teachers.
Principals say coaching, not compliance, is what they need from the central office. blogs.edweek.org/edweek/Dist…

Digging in to mindset mathematics for grade 5...this should be the discussion day 1 and revisited frequently! @mrsdboyer @JohnFritzky Thank you @joboaler !!!

I just finished this! Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build their own understanding of fractions. xitter.cf/achievethecore/status/…
If you aren't digging into the sand at the beach, how about digging into fractions instead? This seven-unit module from @IllustrateMath will help teachers strengthen understanding of the concepts and skills around fractions in grades 3-5: bit.ly/2lLdNM1 #PD #mathchat

Love this article from the Vermont Writing Collaborative. "Students cannot think deeply -- or at all -- about knowledge that they do not have." Knowledge is key to better writing. aft.org/sites/default/files/…
