My city was dubbed America's most violent in 2 of my 7 teenage years. My father's skull was crushed by guys wielding a metal pipe. I was stabbed. Cousins killed. Thank God I had teachers who taught me how to read, instead of trying to understand my trauma and build relationship.

So many students have come online for their lessons on snow days. I'm so impressed with them and their work!

Structured literacy isn't just phonics.
Decodable books can be used for comprehension instruction.
Kids want to learn and improve, even on snow days! mertenmorganconsulting.com

Today I wrote myself a check for my own work based on my own educational choices and my commitment to kids and their literacy. I am so fortunate to own a women-owned business with the best partner. I get to see kids grow into the best version of who they have always been.

I get to trust them &myself to do the important work of learning. I get to build relationships, not only with kids,but with their families. It's really a dream fulfilled. And I'm so grateful that I made it here to a place where purpose is aligned with action. #literacyspecialist

I wish our had taken advantage of talking to the Libens about the phonics component of the EL currículum when we had a chance! I'm looking forward to listening to this one focused on comprehension. #clout #literacy

The most expensive thing in education isn't buying HQIM —it's watching teachers quit because they're exhausted from MacGyvering mediocre resources into miracles. Every DIY curriculum is quietly burning out our best talent.

District Leader: Can you give me 1 recommendation? Me: Get High Quality Instructional Materials and give eduactors time to plan for full implementation.
DL: i think we do that.
Me: You don't.
DL: "High quality" is subjective
Me: Results across all subgroups. Not subjective

I created this padlet that is full of 63 free adolescent literacy resources from PaTTAN. I offered it freely, no barriers, as I do ALL of my padlets and wakelets weeks ago. You can access it in full here: padlet.com/pkastner/secondar…

It's a day when I'm so grateful, after over 30 years in schools with barely a bathroom break, long drives in the dark to unsafe destinations, and compromised teaching, that my students come to me and I get to see the tremendous growth they make. #literacy mertenmorganconsulting.com

Today I learned that a client with IEP goals is applying what he learns during our lessons in his classroom and his data is higher than it's ever been! #Literacy #Everyone #WhyILeft #WomenOwned
