Strong vocabulary is key to closing #TheKnowledgeGap. Today at James, I saw several classrooms where vocabulary was woven seamlessly into lessons—intentional, natural, and impactful. 🌟 #WordPower #EquityInEducation @natwexler @PrincetonISD

When students write about what they’re learning, they’re not just practicing language—they’re building deeper understanding and sharper thinking. Writing isn’t extra; it’s essential. #NatalieWexler #TheKnowledgeGap #WritingToLearn #CriticalThinking

I really enjoyed reading The Knowledge Gap by @natwexler! We have to protect Science and Social Studies instruction in elementary schools so that students can acquire the necessary content knowledge to make learning stick! We need more cross-curricular, interdisciplinary units and learning tasks so that students can make authentic connections. The learning progression should be systematically designed and delivered across the grade level and throughout the school so that learning can be compounded. Students should have access to text sets and multiple perspectives on the same topic so they can learn and investigate deeply. Read-alouds, audiobooks, and podcasts should be embedded in every subject area so students can build their background knowledge, access grade level texts, and strengthen their vocabulary. Other takeaways from folks who have read this book? #HistoryMattersCampaign #ContentRichCurriculum #TheKnowledgeGap #ProtectingScienceAndSocialStudies

A great example of Implementation Science. Reminds me of @95percentgroup formula for improving outcomes. Clearly defined tactics and literacy leadership will move an initiative into practice. Also trust @NatWexler’s #TheKnowledgeGap the74million.org/article/cas…

WHAT content is being taught/chosen matters. Choose topics that build over the elementary years and across disciplines within the grade level. Sprinkling topics without consideration does not build/improve vocabulary acquisition. 3/4 #TheKnowledgeGap

Man, I do love being in front of a whiteboard. I could talk about #TheKnowledgeGap by @natwexler all day long. Absolutely required reading for anyone in education or ed policy.
The @Texas2036 Lone Star Fellowship is going strong! One of the best parts is learning from other 2036ers. Yesterday @TxGabeGrantham taught on how important knowledge-focused instruction is in classrooms He might not be a teacher any more, but he still teaches like a champion!
