Examining the relationship between special education teacher (SET) retention and resilience: An extended framework This study shares results of a survey of special education teachers (SET; n = 818) exploring retention and resilience in one northeastern state in the…

Grateful for more attention on special education teacher retention and resilience - especially from such thoughtful researchers!

Examining the Effects of Silent Independent Reading on Reading Outcomes: A Narrative Synthesis Review from 2000 to 2020 Encouraging children to read extensively has been a widely recommended approach to developing reading. The National Reading Panel published a review study reporting inconclusive findings regarding ...

The NRP Report (2000) found that independent silent reading may not be the most efficient use of instructional time.

In our study, we replicated the finding. We found that independent reading didn't contribute meaningfully to improved reading outcomes.

Over the last 5 months I have been updating my research on reading comprehension, both in terms of my methods and in terms of new studies. This process has led to me changing my position on the importance of knowledge and reading comprehension.

3 New Studies to Know on Screening Students for Dyslexia More than 40 states now require screening for dyslexia.

Looking forward to reading these 3 studies. 1) Ss of color may be under identified in screenings for reading disabilities 2) Auditory attn. deficits may affect learning trajectories for dyslexics 3) Early reading has an impact into adulthood, esp. for struggling Ss. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

It’s honestly rare I take a break from work or thinking about all topics related to work (okay, maybe I’m still thinking a bit 😜) but this recent holiday has been welcome and very much needed.

A Missing Link in the 'Science of Reading' Conversation A researcher and a practitioner make a case for going beyond phonics to systematically build children's broader language development.

“what we know is that lang. & word reading need to be built across the curriculum so that we don’t neglect lang. early on, but we don’t want to neglect word reading later. It’s not a relay race, where word reading is handed off to language. It’s a parallel structure.” www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Stumbled on this 2002 RF Elmore piece: Hard Questions About Practice. 21 years later & I found it’s still relevant as discussions ⭕️ around the same systems issues. The only key diff. may be “distributed leadership” is more of a thing..and yes, I put it in quotations. www.ascd.org/el/articles/...

It was really a shame, that’s also not the first time her name has been used as support for certain arguments. I love listening to her speak and agree, she addressed it beautifully.

It was so nice to see you on this episode!
