The power should be in the hands of the people of Idaho, not political elites. Prop 1 will make sure your voice is heard. #YesOn1 #OpenPrimaries #YourVoteMatters

Jim Cummins reminds us of the importance to embrace the entire body of research when it comes to the #SoR! Yes, code-based instruction has an important place, but so does vocabulary, knowledge building, volume of reading, writing, and deep comprehension! @WIDA_UW @summit_k12

A co-sponsor of the ESA Voucher bill declined to answer when asked how many students would enroll after the 1st year & how much the program would cost.
“I’m not a prophet,” he said.
The Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy estimates the program will cost $363 million annually. #idpol

Stop #2 on our 21-county Say NO to Vouchers tour: Bear Lake County.
The Bear Lake School District spends only $6,855 per pupil. That’s just 49% of the national average. ESA Vouchers would drain even more funds without providing families any private-school alternatives.

You either are a comprehensive solution or you are not...
Districts deploying a combination of knowledge-rich ELA curriculum and a systematic, explicit foundational skills program.... should NOT be expected to buy other solutions to supplement their Tier 1 curriculum.

Important! Why? "Discussions of the 'science of reading' on social media are not informed by this body of work. People are improvising new answers to questions that have already been answered."

Elementary and secondary literacy programs that devoted close to an equal amount of time to both reading and writing instruction produced larger gains in reading and writing than programs that did not provide such a balance of instruction. Graham, Liu, Aitken, et al., 2018).
