I believe in being clear about what I stand at a time when it's fashionable to DEBUNK people & ideas w/no research basis I stand beside: • Reading Recovery • Marie Clay • Lucy Calkins • Fountas & Pinnell • Balanced literacy And much more Attack away but I ignore bullies
@DrMaryHoward I only debunk those w/no research basis when they claim they are doing "science." When people report experiences with students, whether or not it is a real experiment, I pay attention and don't debunk them at all.
@skrashen Thank you Stephen! Experience is crucial. I am so grateful to be able to follow your work still after 51 years in education. You have always been one of my GO TO references!
@skrashen @DrMaryHoward The anti-vaxers, climate deniers and himeopathers also prefer anecdotal evidence. What does that tell you?
@skrashen @DrMaryHoward As a student, my experience with F&P and RR was that I never advanced beyond a 1st grade level. When I finally received OG at age 10, I jumped to an 8th grade reading level in 6-12 months. I’m not alone. These curriculums actively hurt a lot of children.
@skrashen @DrMaryHoward And who are these deplorables of which you speak?
