The beautiful Eiffel Tower in Paris, TN is #RedeemingRed for dyslexia!! ❤️❤️
High schoolers reading at a 1st grade level and never identified as SLD due to Tennessee’s RTI policies must stop. It will stop. Sad it had to come to a lawsuit settlement for them to do the right thing.
Since 2013, SLD has been the only disability category in IDEA where TN forces kids to wait to fail claiming they need at least 27 weeks of RTI data. No more!
Tennessee parents of dyslexic kids are fed up and starting to sue. Here is another filed In Clarksville. This student was not identified for NINE YEARS! 😤 mainstreetclarksville.com/news/parent-of…
This is a HUGE HUGE issue!!! @TNedu @tndisability @TNrights @ProEdTN
This is a HUGE HUGE issue!!! @TNedu @tndisability @TNrights @ProEdTN
Tennessee needs to end 3rd grade retention. Students with reading disabilities are often not identified until after 3rd grade. This law is harmful. Instead of slapping bandaids on it - end it. #saydyslexia

My son is frustrated that the Geometry EOC was full of mostly Algebra questions. He said it only had 3-5 Geometry questions. @TNedu how is this an accurate representation of what was taught this year in Geometry??? What in the world?! @ProEdTN @TEA_teachers

Want to read a life changing book? Grab Ben Foss' "The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan." As a dyslexic himself, he gives excellent advice, straight from the source (not from "experts" who think they know, but from a dyslexic adult himself). #SayDyslexia #NoticeAbility
Stop and think about how this little child felt sitting in that classroom all those years. And some really have the audacity to ask "why are you mad though?" This story is not unique. In fact, it's COMMON. #SayDyslexia #TNDyslexiaStories

@rfarmer27 I would love more information. In TN we have used the RTI only model for almost a decade and most schools require kids w/ dyslexia to fail thru all 27 weeks of RTI to get SPED services or to even get an eval. It is clearly in violation of OSEP 11-07…but they do it all the time.
Awesome positive step forward for TN students.

@DDTN13 @ACSchoolsTN If this parent has concerns about their child education please have them email me at [email protected]
If parents have documented their children's reading deficits but these struggles are not being addressed at school, this must inform conversations to identify the root cause of the problem. To contradict reality by claiming their concerns are not real is gaslighting.
@DDTN13 @athorsen16 There is no such thing as defeat when we fight for our kids. We are warriors and we take no prisoners.
@TabathaRosproy @ksdehq @465USD This is why 3rd grade and up the model should NOT be read to learn!! The student cannot change this condition, but the teacher CAN change their instructional strategies. Dyslexia is a neurological condition, not just a reading issue. Know better, do better! Let’s do this better!
@TabathaRosproy @ksdehq @465USD Lots of parent partners out there. Together we can raise awareness and knowledge! Thank you!!! #saydyslexia #knowbetterdobetter 🥰❤
Effective educators know that multiple data points tell the true picture of a student. Why are we even considering letting ONE assessment given in 3rd grade determine possible retention decisions. Too much pressure on kids and not always accurate. TN is better than this.
I find it frustrating that we are making major decisions regarding TN Public Education, yet directors can’t get in the sessions and advocate. These bills are too important to push through quickly without a high level of engagement from directors and educators.
Thank you Gov. Bill Lee for seeing the kids we see everyday & taking a step forward to ensuring every child in Tennessee can read.
"Moving the needle on early childhood literacy requires more than talk - that’s why I’m also proposing an additional investment of $70 million to make sure teachers have what they need to accomplish the task at hand," - @GovBillLee #TNSOTS 📚 #TNEarlyLiteracy
