The SOR hits the Senate. Knowledge-building is hot… except curriculum that leaves folks cold. Southern Surge coverage gives me heartburn. “Orthographic skeletons” and teacher videos intrigue.
Thank you so much for sharing the latest and greatest with your perspective. I absolutely agree with your take on shifting accountability upward. I learned which ELA curriculum I "get to vote for" this week. They are both cheap and received low ratings from TRL's curriculum review guide. If I know this, as a 2nd grade teacher in my district with nothing more than a love of learning to guide me...why in the world don't the folks at the top of the district making 6 figures know? Without that shift, and more clear alignment between the science and the classroom, I am looking forward to another year of creative needle threading (what I do v. how learning is assessed on the big box) and more resentment for expectations v. reality. I'll keep reading to see positive movement in this arena. I do think national databanks could help bring successful district structures/cultures to scale nationally. Thanks again for your voice, it resonates with my weekend edu-travels and I appreciate your sharing.
I’m your “Full Meal Deal” gal, and I’ve got to know if your BeltBuster tagline is DQ adjacent?? If not, I’ll share the unbelievable connection with you! 🤣
Thanks for the time & effort you put in, to keep us all up to date… its terrific. <swoon>
Clearly we share a voice! <heart face emoli>
It’s so rare to hear such sense, spoken from a really good place. Thanks :)
Thanks for the shout out! I love reading this each week.
Thanks for the kind words!
