A report about Phonological Awareness Screener Test (PAST) had mean correlation between PAST and spelling r = .46, PA segmenting r = .20, and PA blending r =.45 (r = .80 is acceptable criterion validity). PAST is not a good measure @reading_league @ILAToday @nasponline

The multiple strategy approach for teaching math should be abandoned. I have been saying this for years. It doesn't align with common sense or effective practice. This is a good article. edweek.org/teaching-learning…

Instructional assistants are such a gift! It’s been amazing to see the progress students make in Sarah’s small groups and intervention groups.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense. Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry. At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special. Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right. My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton. -0 Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

We had an awesome Global School Play Day! 👏 #GSPD @MSDDecatur

How do you intensify reading interventions with data? Here is a video of my session at @oregonrti RTII Literacy Symposium (oregonrti.org/literacy-sympo…). @TheNCII @CECMembership @nasponline @reading_league @NCILiteracy @leadforliteracy @MTSScenter @RTINetwork youtube.com/watch?v=I0gAu2BV…

Feeling Grinchy this morning at West Newton!

Sharing a sweet moment from our classroom today! We sang happy birthday to a student and then this friend offered to sing it again to her in French! ❤️

Congratulations Mrs. Strube! It's an honor working with you. As soon as the convocation was over she covered for a class to support coaching. She really does whatever it takes to support teachers and the students she serves.

Thanks, @PBLPineteach3 We had fun writing it :)

Is an intervention consistent with science? See article in thereadingleague.org/journal… by @ValContessePhD & me. 1.Uses explicit instruction, 2.targets student needs, 3.high opportunities to respond, 4.appropriate challenge, and 5. feedback. @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league

Constantly reminded of the importance of K-2 teachers!

Working on the meaning of “one more” in Math today!
