This post is a double wow. Wow about Lucy Calkins at TRL conference! And wow, what a gem of an article is the "DOR and Dual Language Education" piece! A must-read for sure.
I was at the TRL Summit and spoke briefly with Ms. Calkins. She was lovely. She admitted to having a lot to learn. Don’t we all?!?! We can learn better together and bring the right information into the classroom. We all want better outcomes for our students 😊
Thanks for linking to this report--can't wait to read it. Note where my optimism is blunted:
"fully capture the needs and SUPPORT systems required to SUPPORT early literacy; improving reading assessment - especially for bilingual children; and SUPPORTING workforce development for all teachers and aides working with early grade students.
In the ES: "We provide a set of recommendations to decision makers at all levels to move us toward more research based, appropriate reading instruction and outcomes for all
children, including emergent bilingual children." In my reading there's a lot about what they mean by "support." What is your take on that? It's a lot, so maybe the subject of a future post.. by someone? 🤔

Optimism is good!
👍🏼
Whining can be cathartic.
what do you like to pair your whines with?
Red flags with whole language and white lies with balanced literacy.
Wow! This really is a comprehensive report. Really makes you wonder what exactly we’re arguing about.
You know... I've been wondering about the same for quite a while.

I think success may all come down to one word.

Great question. I'm going to think about it.
