Gentner Drummond. Ryan Walters. Matt Pinnell. A year out from the 2026 primary elections, those three names have emerged as leaders to be Oklahoma's next Republican candidate for governor. The catch? Only one of them has officially declared their candidacy.Drummond, Oklahoma's Attorney General, has a large -— though not insurmountable lead — according to polling released Wednesday by Sooner Survey, which asked 500 registered Republican voters in Oklahoma about their thoughts on likely GOP candidates for governor. Walters, Oklahoma's state schools superintendent, and Pinnell, the lieutenant governor, lag behind Drummond.

For episode 206 of De Facto Leaders, I share a Q & A session where I discuss Reading Recovery and cueing strategies for decoding, and I make some recommendations for additional information that will give you more information on this topic.I also share what you can do if you're in a district that uses Fountas and Pinnell reading levels, which often don't give detailed or consistent information about a kid's language skills. You'll also hear commentary on the Matthew Effect and vocabulary development. Finally, I discuss the role of executive dysfunction and mental health, a guide I created that dives into this topic further, and what clinicians can do to support executive functioning in schools.This Q & A session was done in the member's group for Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs build a system for language therapy.

Co-founder of Artizen René Pinnell discusses how growing up in an artistic household helped him realize the struggle artists endure to find funding, which helped fuel his desire to start Artizen as a hub for funding human creativity. He shares how Artizen found its early footing after Academy Award-winner Viola Davis helped a campaign go viral, and after overcoming a logistical snafu with Stripe, has gone on to fund over $2 million projects at the epicenter of art, technology, design, and science with well-known talent like Darren Aronofsky, Wu-Tang Clan, and Cate Blanchett. Ultimately, René provides an insightful conversation around what constitutes as art and how tech and art are one and the same.SOCIALS:T: @artizenfund, @RJPinnellWebsite: https://www.artizen.fund/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.29.547095v1?rss=1 Authors: Fan, R., Sportelli, C., Lai, Y., Salehe, S., Pinnell, J., Richardson, J. R., Luo, S., Tieu, K. Abstract: Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is typically known for its role in mitochondrial fission. A partial inhibition of this protein has been reported to be protective in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases. The protective mechanism has been attributed primarily to improved mitochondrial function. Herein, we provide evidence showing that a partial Drp1-knockout improves autophagy flux independent of mitochondria. First, we characterized in cell and animal models that at low non-toxic concentrations, manganese (Mn), which causes parkinsonian-like symptoms in humans, impaired autophagy flux but not mitochondrial function and morphology. Furthermore, nigral dopaminergic neurons were more sensitive than their neighbouring GABAergic counterparts. Second, in cells with a partial Drp1-knockdown and Drp1+/- mice, autophagy impairment induced by Mn was significantly attenuated. This study demonstrates that autophagy is a more vulnerable target than mitochondria to Mn toxicity. Furthermore, improving autophagy flux is a separate mechanism conferred by Drp1 inhibition independent of mitochondrial fission. Copy rights belong to original authors.

How long have “the reading wars” been a part of the national education discourse? What are the recurring themes? What can 4K-12 practitioners do to engage in a dialogue that leads to a better understanding of effective literacy instruction?In this episode, Paul Thomas shares his findings about the science of reading movement and how educators can navigate this conversation.Paul, a professor at Furman University, is the author of the policy brief The Science of Reading Movement: The never-ending debate and the need for a different approach to reading instruction (NEPC, 2022). He also wrote How to End the Reading War and Serve the Literacy Needs of All Students: A Primer for Parents, Policy Makers, and People Who Care (IAP, 2020). Paul is a frequent writer at his blog, Radical Scholarship and on Twitter at @plthomasEdD. Special thanks to Mary Howard, Joy La Vay Taylor, Debra Crouch, and Mary Beth Nicklaus for engaging in and elevating this conversation. Full subscribers can join these conversations in real time.

We are joined today by Dr. Paul Thomas. Paul is a professor of education at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, and taught high school English in rural South Carolina before moving to teacher education. He is a former column editor for English Journal, National Council Teachers of English, current series editor for Critical Literacy Teaching Series: Challenging Authors and Genres and author of Teaching Writing as a Journey, Not a Destination: Essays Exploring What Teaching Writing Means, and the book, which I believe is in its second edition now, How to End the Reading Wars and Serve the Needs of All Students: A Primer for Parents, Policymakers, and People Who Care. NCTE named Paul the 2013 George Orwell Award winner. He co-edited the award-winning volume, Critical Media Literacy and Fake News in Post-Truth America. You can follow Paul's work at on Twitter at @plthomasedd and at Radical Scholarship at radicalscholarship.wordpress.com. Welcome, Paul.(01:26):Thank you very much. Nice to be here.(01:29):And we have a few who could join, if they could share too. Who you are, briefly just what you do. We'll start with Mary.Mary Howard (01:39):I am a literacy consultant and now doing Zoom, because I'm in Honolulu and I'd rather not get on a plane. This is year 51.Matt Renwick (01:57):Joy.Joy La Vay Taylor (01:59):Hi, I'm Joy La Vay Taylor, and I work for James Madison University with student teachers. Before that, I was literacy coach, reading recovery teacher and reading specialist.Matt Renwick (02:15):Deborah.Debra Crouch (02:17):Hi, I'm Deborah Crouch. I'm a literacy consultant as well and a co-author of Made For Learning with Brian Cambourne.Mary Beth Nicklaus (02:30):Hi, I'm Mary Beth Nicklaus, and I am with Eastern Harbor County Schools in Minnesota. And I'm a secondary level reading specialist. This is my 34th year.Matt Renwick (02:48):Welcome everyone. And I have a few questions for Paul, but we'll definitely save time for any questions that you might have. The first one for Paul is, you are consistently on point in your policy brief, which we will link in the newsletter, the Science of Reading Movement, which is a condensed version of your book on the topic. It's a nice summary, as well as what you post online on Twitter and on your blog. What motivates you to keep coming back to this topic of the science of reading movement?Paul Thomas (03:27):Oh, that's a really good question because most of my career, I'm really a composition writing person. And when I discovered Emily Hanford's Hard Words, early 2018, it really struck a chord, but I had no idea that it would get the momentum that it did. So I've always been a holistic literacy person, and I've always been skeptical of over focusing on things like grammar and phonics. And although I taught high school English at Furman, I have taught master's literacy program. So I've been working with early literacy teachers who are getting graduate degrees. And a former colleague of mine, Nita Schmidt, who moved from Furman to Iowa and now she's retired, she's brilliant, she was an early literacy people, and she, she brought me in at N C T E.(04:33):And so I had had this kind of transition to being, what I would say, a literacy generalist where I understand kind of K-16 literacy, or birth to grave literacy. My focus I feel like is public work. Like, how do I talk to the public? How do I help people understand education? And this movement just kind of intersected with that public work. And throughout 2018, 2019, I found myself blogging maybe too much, but I had quite a number of blogs on this, and I said, "I've got enough for a book. I did see how it was developing in a direction that regretfully has come true. That early kind of messaging has now become policy. So in the last, I guess that's what, five years now, I have shifted very much into being a policy person, which I think was the rightful place for me to go.(05:44):I do think trying to work on public narratives, how we talk about critical discourse analysis is a big thing for me. It's a central part of my upper level reading and writing course. At Furman, that's a requirement at Furman, they have to have an upper level writing and research course. So I think it was just kind of a perfect storm for me because I do feel like it's really important for scholarly work to have a real world place. And this felt way more engaging. It felt way more productive than my composition work. Although my book before this was on writing. I'm still, I teach first year writing. I care very much about writing. But reading is very central to sort of how we think about education in the United States. So it seemed like kind of a natural development for me.Matt Renwick (06:47):Yeah, your policy brief is very practical, very useful. It was easy to read, but you covered the, the essential topics of it and really gave, for me anyway, it gave me some nice talking points. Right now in Wisconsin, we're dealing with it, right this very week, up for discussion, so to speak. How might educators and parents best use this resource to effectively advocate for more reasonable policies? What can we do with this to, to make some kind of a difference, or at least try to influence policymakers?Paul Thomas (07:29):So first I would like to say I really am very proud of the policy brief. And I think a huge part of that was the N E P C staff itself. They did not make this easy . I had to a 6,000 word policy brief. I probably wrote 15 to 20,000 words and three or four drafts, and I was kind of taken to task three or four or five times before it even went to peer review. And I think they should be commended for that. The editorial group at N E P C weren't literacy people, so they were constantly going, "What do you mean by this? Uh, is this real?" And the the fun part was being challenged on using the simple view of reading.(08:22):One person said to me, "Paul, nobody uses that. That's silly. That's a silly term." And I had to say, "No, it's a technical term. It's a real term." So I do appreciate that opportunity, and I will say any PC believes in practical. So it had to build to what do people do. I do feel really good about the policy implications at the end. I've been working indirectly with Diane Stephens, who is Professor Emeritus from the University of South Carolina. She taught several other places. Diane has really perfected taking actual legislation and copy editing it, . It's amazing, "Here is where you're off base, but here is how to reform that." So I think what we have to do is, it kind of parallels the book banning and the anti C R T movement.(09:23):It seems almost silly to have to argue for access to books. It seems silly to have to say you shouldn't ban books. So I think it seems kind of pointless for a lot of reasonable people to argue for teacher autonomy and serving the needs of all students. And very simply put, that's kind of what the policy brief boiled down to. We really targeted, "there's no such thing as one size fits all instructional practices." So there should not be any one size fits all mandates in policy and legislation. We really kind of honed in on, "it's not the place of legislators to ban or mandate anything that goes against what is a reasonable approach to day-to-day classroom practices." So I think what can people do is I think is, kind of target these simple messages.(10:37):I've been trying to work better about clarifying that I'm advocating for teacher autonomy. I'm advocating for meeting the needs of every individual child. I am not an advocate for reading recovery. I'm not an advocate for balanced literacy. I'm not an advocate for National Council Teachers of English. I'm not an advocate for International Literacy Association. I'm not being trivial here. I don't advocate for labels and organizations, even though I love N C T E, for example. It's been my home for a long time, and I respect N C T E, but I think what we have to advocate for are key principles. And I've called this challenge out many times, you know, on social media. If someone says they don't agree with me or that I'm wrong, I say, so you're saying that there should not be teacher autonomy, so you're saying we shouldn't serve the individual needs of every student, and I really think we have to call people on the carpet about that.(11:47):I also think it's really important, and it might be too much for most people, I just don't believe in misinformation. I get called out that I'm advocating for X when I simply say Y isn't true . This is a really good example to me, is the attack on Lucy Calkins, I think is just unfair. It's not accurate. Lucy Calkins Units of Study and Fountas and Pinnell work are in one in four schools in the country. It's 25% of the reading programs, I just tweeted out today. You know, their programs are not the dominant programs in New Mexico. And New Mexico has the lowest NAEP fourth grade reading scores and the highest percentage of children below basic. So creating a bad guy is a trick of storytelling.(13:00):And regretfully the science of reading movement, I mean, Sold a Story. I mean, it's about storytelling, and they're manufacturing the crisis. They're manufacturing the bad guy. I really just don't like misinformation. And again, I don't like the way balance literacy is defined. It doesn't mean that I endorse balanced literacy, even though I don't have any actual problem with the concept of balanced literacy. I'm really a critical literacy person. Do I like whole language people and their philosophies? Yes, there are a lot of my friends. Do I find balanced literacy ideas compelling? Yes, of course I do. I am a holistic person. So I think we have to, I have to keep sort of simple messaging on the key concepts that we support.(13:55):But we also have to say, actually what you're saying isn't true. Your definition isn't true. Your cause of the problem isn't true. Your solution isn't true. Over and over the national reading panel is just misrepresented. I use Diane Stephen's work. The National Reading Panel found that systematic phonics was no more effective than balanced literacy or whole language. Almost every single credible study says the exact same thing. The major study out of England said systematic phonics no more effective than balanced literacy. We need balance in England, over and over. That's the truth. And then you've got the science of rooting people saying, it's the Emily Hanford mantra, that it's simple and it's settled, and neither one of those are true.Matt Renwick (14:48):That leads into my next question, Paul, is this towards, especially phonics instructions, kind of this reason why kids are failing to read because they don't have enough of it, or we need more of it to ensure that they can read. And then picking on some of these targets, whether it's a person or it's a program or approach, are these strawmen for maybe avoiding bigger issues that we do need to address, such as poverty or teaching and learning conditions? Or is there some reasonableness to what some people might be advocating for in the sor movement? Where do you see that falling?Paul Thomas (15:33):Really nice job there. I appreciate that. Because that's two other kind of key points that we need to hit on. So, the part of my book and the policy brief that I'm most proud of is the historical perspective. In the 1940s, draftees performed very poorly on literacy tests, and Eleanor Roosevelt and the government shouted reading crisis. And John Dewey in progressivism was blamed. The woman I did my dissertation on, Lula Brandt ,did an analysis and found out that most draftees went to traditional schools and had traditional instruction, like phonics instruction, had skills instruction. And there's Elementary English, which became Language Arts, had a special issue on it, very similar to Reading Research Quarterly, having two special issues on it in the 2020s.(16:33):There was one article, , and they literally say this false attack on progressivism is to avoid the truth. The problem with literacy in the United States is poverty. You know, that was the 1940s. Then it recurs, the Johnny Can't Read in the fifties and sixties, same thing. It's phonics, it's lack of phonics. And people are like, "no, the people who are doing poorly are impoverished." And then it recycles into the sixties, into the 1990s, and then around No Child Left Behind is this same thing. So I think two other messages that we really have to make sure we make clear is, and I refer to Martin Luther King toward the end of his life in 1967, he said, "We would find that instead of reforming education to erase poverty, that if we erase poverty, education would improve."(17:30):And there is nothing truer. If children had universal healthcare, if they had no food deserts, if they had steady homes, if their parents had steady well-paying jobs, if there were books in their homes, the NAEP scores would go up. And that's doing nothing in the schools. Now, I'm not saying don't do anything in schools. I actually think this is the other thing that drives me crazy. I've been accused of being a protector of the status quo. And people who know me would laugh, they should talk to some of the people I've worked for. I think I entered education in 1984. I start year 40 in the fall. And when I started education, I was a reformer.(18:23):That's why I want, I wanted to do school better than it had been done to me. And then when I was in my doctoral program in the 1990s, I found out there were the reconstructionist. There was a whole movement in the early 20th century to reform schools. And so I want things to be different. I want school to be different. And you said it just a second ago. So we've got to address the lives, the homes, and the communities of children. I mean, we have to do that. And this constantly pointing at teachers and saying they don't know what they're doing and that schools are failing is a distraction. But simultaneous to that teaching and learning conditions, I just cannot say that often enough. There's been research for decades that marginalized students are more likely to have beginning and uncertified teachers.(19:25):That's a simple thing to address. We should guarantee that no child who is performing below what we believe they should be, instead of using third grade test scores to retain students, why don't we use third grade test scores to ensure children to have experienced certified teachers and low student-teacher ratios in fourth grade? That's a much better policy. And I would 100% endorse the use of standardized testing for that. But we are not going to do those things. I mean that's what's kind of criminal about this. Special needs children...we're overly concerned about dyslexic students. I am not saying that we should not be, absolutely, we should be concerned with dyslexic students. But special needs students are really highly likely to have beginning and new teachers, special needs students are really highly likely to have uncertified teachers.(20:31):Those are things that could be addressed. Now I think that would solve a lot of problems, systemic forces outside of the school. And then, I agree, this is a national education policy center thing. Instead of accountability reform, we need equity reform. So inside schools, I would say no grade retention. We should not be stratifying students. We should not be gatekeeping students into courses. But the biggest thing to me in school is a teacher assignment. The dirty little secret about education, nobody wants to talk about...if you teach long enough when someone retires, you get the good kids. And I think that's one of those little dirty secrets that we don't talk about. Beginning teachers too often... administration sits down, the remaining teachers get to pick their courses for next year, and the leftovers go to the new person. That is a terrible policy. It's a terrible way to treat children. And these are things we could address. We never talk about them, and we don't do them. So I think as you were implying, I think a lot of this is about ways to avoid doing the hard stuff.Matt Renwick (21:53):Yeah, for sure. You hit on a lot of topics there with that. There were couple of questions and, and I won't bring it up here just because it could, who knows where it would to go. But the money aspect too. You noted on Twitter, that a lot of these arguments and blaming are actually creating a space, a void, in which then certain individuals, publishers, organizations can sell their programs, trainings to solve the problem that they created in the first place. But that's a whole nother topic almost, I think.Paul Thomas (22:38):I could interject there real quick. Sure. I think people don't understand. I just had a conversation with a producer of a major news series yesterday morning. Instead of chasing the right reading program, we should reevaluate that. We use reading programs. It's much simpler than that. At W S R A, I think it was 2019, it was right before covid, teachers taught me a lesson. The problem that they had with units of study was not units of study, it was how it was implemented. And we too often hold teachers accountable for implementing a program instead of serving the needs of students. And I think that's a really important distinction. And it would also, I think it would address the money issue. We do, I think we do spend too much money on educational materials, and then we feel obligated to holding teachers accountable because of that investment.Matt Renwick (23:41):Yeah. Too much money and resources is not enough. And the ultimate research, which is teachers and students as well is, how can we structure students to be resources for each other? I'd like to open it up to other people who have questions here, or Paul, if you have anything you'd like to share that to come to mind. I'll open the floor up.Mary Howard (24:06):Okay. I was just gonna come back to, and I appreciate this so much because it led me back to what you wrote. One of the best things about this is that it's so specific to suggestions for decision makers and policy makers. And so one of the, and I loved every one of them, but one of the things that I kept coming back to is at the very end, two that really keep, are really in my head. One is be wary of overstatements and oversimplifications within media and public advocacy. Acknowledging concerns raised but remaining skeptical of simplistic claims about causes and solutions. And one of the challenges is that there are so many, the policy makers, the people who are making these decisions, they want oversimplification. They want to know, all I have to do is write a check and there's nothing else I have to do.(25:11):And if, because they don't have a background in education, that sounds really, really compelling. And then the other one is just a couple down from that, which is so important. Recognize student-centered as an important, research supported guiding principle, but also acknowledge the reality that translating research-based principles into classroom practices is challenging. So not only do they want those over simplifications, but they want to be able to take the research and say, here's what the research says, which is complicated research. And so we're gonna do this. You know, it brings me back to RtI where the solution was the walk-to-intervention model. So they know the importance of supporting children, but they're going to find the easiest possible, not just the one that they can write a check for, but the one that's going to be the easiest possible to implement.(26:09):So, you know, those just loom really large in my mind, and I don't know how we undo. Let me just say one more thing. I remember so many times walking out of a session where someone, usually someone with a really big name, said something really absurdly ridiculous. Like, time for reading, independent reading doesn't matter. And does it in such a compelling way that people I really admire walk out of that session and say, "Oh my God, I never thought about that before." And that's been happening with the science of reading too. "Oh my God, I never knew that." And so it's really smart, lovely, wonderful people. But for some reason, , it's coming across not as what is being said. I don't know. It's a really weird thing to me.Paul Thomas (27:11):Yeah. One advantage of my career being pretty eclectic is I've taught some graduate level leadership courses, and I used to use Howard Gardner's book Leading Minds. He's known for multiple intelligences, but I don't think that's his best work actually. In Leading Minds, he directly says all the research shows that leadership functions on black and white statements. And there's very little you can do about that. So there's an ethical obligation if you're going to compel the public, you're going to have to be relatively simple. So to me, I think the line is between simple and simplistic. And the challenge we have, and again, the conversation I had yesterday morning, really, really drove this home to me, is we're in a bind because our message is not simple. And the sor people are, it's become a cult of personality because they're doing the simple and settled.(28:12):And it is very compelling. I, like you Mary, know some very lovely people who have bought it. I knew some, and I still know, I know some lovely people, bright, who bought Teach for America. I know some lovely and bright people who bought charter schools. And those have now passed, and we know they didn't work. Teach for America has really dramatically fallen off. And some of the best people I know in education went through Teach for America. So it's not the people. The simplistic message, that you just had to demand more of students, it's that soft bigotry of low expectations. And if you just demand more, and if you just work harder, these kids will succeed. And then those poor people who did that, and those children didn't succeed. They were devastated.(29:07):So we do have a problem. Our message is not simple. But that's the only message that works. And also I think, another point of yours Mary, is the idea of evidence. I think I said this the other day, but the most important evidence is the child in front of you. The first five or 10 years of my teaching, the best thing that happened to me was humility. I had missionary zeal. I came in thinking I knew what I was doing. I kind of had my butt kicked at the National Writing Project. I'll shout out to Brenda Davenport. She almost literally kicked my butt. She saw something in me. She did respect me, but she took me in a room and she let me have it. And it was an awakening for me.(30:00):I softened, I backed up off of my certainty, and I learned to work from the ground up. Research and theory... I love theory. I love philosophy. These things are important, but they're for you back here. I mean, they sit somewhere back here. But it's the actual child in front of you. So I've learned, Furman has really taught me a lesson too. I mean, for the last 21 years, my college first year writing students are a different type of human than what I taught in rural South Carolina in high school. So I try to work from the student and instead of imposing Paul's beliefs about writing, Paul's beliefs about learning. You know, one simple thing is we we're always told that, that you have to give students credit for class participation.(31:04):I know a lot of professors still put that on their syllabus, and there's a percentage for it. Well, Furman has taught me that students can participate by being completely quiet in the room. And I had to listen to that, which is kind of ironic. And , I don't say that anymore. I don't say, "You have to speak in class, you have to participate this specific way." So I think one of our messages, I think has to be that, evidence is not simplistic. And the most important piece of evidence is the child in front of you.Matt Renwick (31:41):Thanks, Paul. Thanks, Mary.Debra Crouch (31:45):Can I ask a question, Paul? How do you simplify in a way, I guess, how do you talk to student-centered in a way that keeps it understandable for people who don't come at this from "Look at the child and recognize what children are bringing" and that sort of thing. How do we talk to that? Because I agree with you. I think that piece is huge.Paul Thomas (32:12):Yeah. And teacher education, that's one thing I do is I talk about artifacts of learning. I talk about things like, I really think music teachers, art teachers, coaches, that I think the average person understands that. So, there was a piece in Phi Delta Kappan many, many years ago, somewhere in the 1990s. And the guy said, what if we had two football teams line up every Friday night and take a multiple choice test to decide the football game? Parents would revolt, my hometown, the entire town would revolt. So, you know, in art class, we have a child actually draw an artifact of learning, and then we work from there. Until the child does a drawing or a clay sculpture, we don't have any way to teach them. We have children play instruments, we have children sing, we have children play the sport.(33:13):So I think putting it in terms of behaviors, having students do the thing, and I think that's where my holistic urge is. I was a soccer coach, I coached for quite a few years. And I love scrimmage. I was a big fan of scrimmaging. So you could end the moment, you could teach, of course we did some skills, but to be perfectly honest, that's not that effective. If people practice the same thing over and over incorrectly, they're not actually learning. They're getting worse. They're building the wrong tools. So, the joke of my teaching high school was I graded about 4,000 essays a year for 18 years. Wow. And I graded about 6,000 journals on top of that. So my joke was, it was volume, volume, volume.(34:07):Until a kid wrote a paper, I did not know what they needed, Until a player lined up as a centerback and played and played a soccer match, I did not know what he needed. So I do think we have to talk in terms of sort of holistic behaviors that we're trying to teach children to do. And then our job to me is mentoring. It is coaching. I love the word coach. I think the right kind of coaching, not the stereotypical United States coach that screams and cusses, but the kind of coach that goes, "Look, you did it this way, now do it this way." Like, here is why. One thing I loved about soccer is it's conceptual. You don't run plays and it's not very structured, the type the clock runs, and it's these concepts. So it's these holistic behaviors at the conceptual level, what should you be doing? But the key element is why are you doing this? I hope that answered your question, I feel like I did.Matt Renwick (35:12):Yeah. Thanks Deborah. Thanks, Paul. Joy, did you want to throw that question out of how did we engage in this? I think Paul spoke to that previously. Was there anything else that you wanted to follow up on though, Joy regarding how to engage in conversation around this time?Joy La Vay Taylor (35:35):The article that you put out, Paul, was really helpful, Mary and I will follow it a little bit better.Paul Thomas (35:51):A lot of this movement is public, so I think a lot of it is on social media. And there is a problem. I do think Twitter is not a good place for discussion. I haven't had good luck with it. I've had a few people try to. I had one person a couple times lately, very kindly say, would you mind, you know, let's have a discussion about this blog post. I don't. There's just not enough room. There is no chance for nuance. I joke and say the best way to deal with social media discussions is don't do it. But a more practical one is, are you dealing with a serious person? So probably six months ago, a woman who is an s o r person engaged with me.(36:42):She was patient, she was kind, she was clear. I did two or three tweets with her. I realized she was a serious person. We had a very long Twitter discussion. She didn't change her mind. I did not mute her. I did not block her. Everything was fine. The key was not that we agreed with each other. The key was that she was a serious person. And that's the hard part. I often check the Twitter bios. If there's four followers, probably not serious. If they've got the little hashtag, #amplify, probably not serious. Way too much of the science of reading movement is driven by the exact thing that Hanford is attacking. If it is in fact a problem that Lucy Caulkins has made money, which is an odd thing to accuse somebody of in the United States, then the science of reading, people who are driven by market intentions are just as guilty.(37:56):My home state and the most recent budget, 15 million for LETRS training, were a very small state. Can you imagine how much state money, tax money is being earmarked for LETRS training? I don't trust advocates of LETRS anymore than I trust anyone. I mean, we learned that the tobacco industry said cigarettes were okay. They had a market interest. So I do think we have to navigate public discussions with serious people. I do not mute people instantly. I generally give everybody one or two tweets. I give you a chance. Then it's it, and it's just little things, right? Are they selling something? Do they have almost no followers? I've got people out there. I know I muted them, so I didn't block them, but they can still do it. They say, don't listen to Paul Thomas. He works for reading recovery. That's just a blatant lie. There was an organization that blogged and said, don't listen to me because I'm not a teacher. I start year 40 in the fall. I've been a literacy teacher for 40 years, over five decades since the eighties. It's just a blatant lie. So lying means you're not a serious person. If if you're trying to sell something, you're probably not a serious person. So I just think navigating that space, we're looking for serious people and then we can engage.Matt Renwick (39:34):I had the pleasure of watching Paul have a panel discussion with other serious people. It was a research panel at the Wisconsin State Reading Association Conference. He was talking with a researcher at UW-Madison, a principal out of California, and they did not all agree. I think we talked about this later, Paul. You did not all agree on the same issues, but you all were respectful the way you talked. "I hear what you're saying. Here's where I'm coming from." It was very, it was just a good conversation. And I learned a lot. And I think, I thought it was a really good model for, for what this could be, but unfortunately, often is not.Paul Thomas (40:16):Right. And I really don't think we have to all agree. Like, there are people I love that I don't agree with everything about them. And that's not what we're looking for.Mary Howard (40:29):Yeah. And in a conversation like that, you have the opportunity to have a fluid coming back and forth. That's impossible. But one of the things that I looked for on Twitter, and I've only been recently really trying to dig into it, there are just certain catchphrases that people use over and over. And that to me is a dead giveaway because it's almost like they came out with a s o r attack list of these are the things you want to say. It really is problematic that you can't. There's a big difference to being able to look at someone in the face, for example, and listen to what they're saying and then come back and respond to that than it is. It's almost like the Twitter social media is a ping pong ball, and it's really easy to get caught up in it, you know, especially when emotions are involved.Paul Thomas (41:32):That's why I say the, the s o r movement is too similar to the anti CRT movement. They're both too often ideological. So when you're ideological it's very simplistic and narrow. So you do have recurring things to say that are just, they're just imposed onto the situation. They're not drawn from the situation. Someone I blocked, I mean, I muted. I didn't see them, but I saw the response. And apparently somebody on Twitter just in the last couple of days, said that they listened to Emily Hanford. Cause she's an expert. I'm not. And the interesting thing there is not only have I taught literacy for 40 years, I taught journalism for 13 years, and I've published journalism for the last 20. I have a level of expertise in both journalism and education. That's where you can tell somebody's not serious. This is not a serious comment. That is just a blanket imposed statement. And so I think that is the ideological problem. It's not everybody who's in the science of reading movement by any stretch. But there is a faction that is just, it's just an ideologue. And it's the same thing. You know, woke , woke by DeSantis, woke by too many Republicans, uh, c r t, these have just been catchphrases. They're not, again, they're not serious people. They're not credible people.Matt Renwick (43:00):This conversation's been great as always. Any closing thoughts or takeaways from anyone in the group that you'd wanna share out before we close things out?Joy La Vay Taylor (43:15):I'm such a novice, I feel like, at Twitter for sure. I was so focused on being in the classroom, working with teachers that I was so shocked when this whole s o r thing just seemed to slam in. And I hadn't, I didn't have time to be on Twitter. I shouldn't say I have time now, but I thank you so much all for all this information that you put out. And Mary, I love Mary and Matt is great. I don't know you too, but I'm sure you two are great too. .(44:15):Because I thought that all the information that you gave about politics and the movement of reading was so helpful for me. It just gave me a background. I kind of came in with balanced literacy when it was just kind of called balanced literacy. So all of that was helpful. But is is then, if we think about the purpose of being on Twitter to share information like you do, so is that the best way to think about it as a vehicle for getting truth out there?Paul Thomas (45:00):Yeah. I would say, I would say two things. One historically we have told teachers not to be political, which is a political demand, by the way. And we also keep classroom teachers way too busy. If you keep people with their head down, they don't see what's happening to them. So I do not expect teachers to sacrifice themselves. I don't expect K-12 teachers to speak out. Absolutely, that is not an expectation. If you do find the opportunity, I think you said it perfectly. Most of my work that I do on social media is to teach, it's an extension of my teaching. I cite, my blogs are heavily cited. I cite, I link to peer review journal articles on Twitter. So I think you have to perform on social media, not to change people's minds that you're speaking to, but to leave a trail for other people to learn.(46:03):I am rarely actually speaking to the individual I'm responding to. I am leaving a trail for other people to learn from. Nobody's asking K-12 teachers to sacrifice themselves. Nobody's asking K-12 teachers to lose their jobs. As a matter of fact, I don't want you to lose your job. I'm relatively safe. I'm even at a private university. If I were in Florida and I was at a public university, I would be toast. But my university is incredibly supportive. I'm a white guy, I'm tenured, I'm old. Let us do it, you know, let us take the brunt of the damage. But if you do engage, it's not to change people's minds, it's to teach.Matt Renwick (46:54):Well said Paul. And your policy brief, half the brief is citations. I mean, it's just so well resourced. And I remember Peter Aach speaking about your work too, and just said you were meticulous. I think that's one of the first people he brought up about how to be become more knowledgeable about this topic and stay engaged. So thank you Paul Thomas. Thank you everyone for being here. This has been great. We wish you all a good rest of the year if you're still going. Otherwise, we hope you are enjoying your summer break. Thank you.Paul Thomas (47:27):Thank you.

Learn about what all exciting exhibits will be at the North Atlanta Home Show this weekend at the Gas South Convention Center.  Two Duluth men are facing murder charges in the death of an Atlanta man who died earlier this month from wounds he sustained in a beating that occurred in December. Master Police Officer Hideshi Valle said Bryan Alvarado and Yeison Alvarado have been charged with allegedly killing Raul Diaz-Villalba. Diaz-Villalba was attacked on December 20 and officers found him unconscious and bleeding with multiple lacerations, a swollen face, wounds all over his head and discoloration. The officers provided aid at the scene and Gwinnett fire officials took him to a local hospital. Diaz-Villalba died on January 14 and the Gwinnett Medical Examiner's Office concluded this week that the injuries to his head were the cause of death. The suspects have each been charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, robbery and false imprisonment. Gwinnett County Public Schools outpaces the state of Georgia when it comes to the percentage of Asian and Latin-ex teachers it has on its staff, but the percentage of people from those communities who serve in principal positions lags behind the student demographics, a staffing consultant told district leaders on Thursday. The stats were presented as part of a presentation on equity in talent management systems that Alma Advisory Group CEO Monica Rosen made to the Gwinnett school board during a work session. The presentation covered a variety of staffing issues, including diversity of staff and employee retention. Despite the underrepresentation of Asian and Latin-ex in leadership roles in the district, GCPS does outpace the state in representation of both groups in teaching positions. Rosen presented data that showed Asian and Pacific Islander teachers make up 4.12% of teachers in GCPS, compared to 1.49% of teachers statewide. Similarly, Latin-ex teachers make up 5.99% of the GCPS teacher workforce, compared to 2.79% statewide. But, Latin-ex people make up 7.8% of principals in GCPS despite the fact that Latin-ex students are the largest population block in GCPS, making up 34.3% of the student body. Meanwhile, there were virtually no Asian principals in GCPS even though Asian students make up 11.5% of the student population. GCPS does lack behind the state in the percentage of teachers who are Black. That figure is 27.15% statewide, but just 23.59% in GCPS. Black people make up 36.17% of people serving in principal positions while Black students make up 32.17% of the student population. White people hold 53.9% of principal positions and 60.2 percent of teacher positions while white students make up about 17% of the student population. An incredibly thin margin separated Brookwood and North Gwinnett again Saturday night at West Gwinnett Aquatic Center. And for the second straight year, Brookwood emerged as the Gwinnett County champion in girls swimming and diving. The Broncos scored 1,186 points, only 11 ahead of North, which is still seeking its first county title. The Bulldogs were second by only five points at the 2022 county meet. Brookwood maintained its long-running dominance in the meet with its ninth straight county championship and 20th in the past 24 seasons. Brookwood got its scoring off to a nice start thanks to its divers — Chloe Brothers won the county title and teammate Kristen Davis was sixth Saturday morning — then the swimmers did their job later in the evening. Sophomore Hailey Dopson led the way with a win in the 100-yard freestyle in 51.75 seconds, and she followed it with a county meet-record in the 100 backstroke with a first-place swim in 55.06. The old 100 back record was set at 55.22 in 2016 by Mill Creek's Katherine Parker. The Broncos also won the 200 freestyle relay in 1:37.36 with Dopson as the anchor on a relay with teammates Nicole Amike, Sophie Hamilton and Emma Greene. Dopson also was on a runner-up 200 medley relay. Braselton's Community Development department is launching a new volunteer work force to help with town events and welcome visitors. Nicknamed the “Bee-Team,” volunteers will be assigned to welcome visitors and help staff event preparation and/or office tasks. An informational meeting is set for January 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the Civic Center, located at 27 East Lake Drive adjacent to the town's parking deck downtown. B-Team members will be asked to complete a brief application, attend an orientation and begin learning local history. For more information, Pinnell can be reached by e-mail at apinnell@braselton.net  Gwinnett police said they are investigating a homicide that appears to be domestic related after a shooting Sunday evening at a Norcross area apartment complex. According to Corporal  Evanko, Gwinnett police responded to a person shot call at Canopy Glen Apartments just after 6 p.m. The incident appeared to have stemmed from a domestic dispute. When officers arrived on scene, they located an adult male with a gunshot wound who died from his injuries on scene. Evanko said investigators are talking with a female believed to be related to the incident and the investigation is ongoing. The motive for the shooting is unknown. Gwinnett police are asking anyone who has information to share in the case to contact GCPD detectives or crime stoppers. The new year brought a big change for the Gwinnett Chamber's On Topic series this past week. The first installment of the series in 2023 was held on Wednesday and it marked the introduction of Porter Steel as the series new presenting sponsor. Why is that a big deal? Well, it was the first time in well over a decade that someone other than RocketIT has been the presenting sponsor of the monthly information and lunch series. Porter Steel is a Lilburn-based company that specializes in structured steel and architectural metal for construction projects. Company President Cole Porter said the company is interested in helping the community and it sees sponsoring On Topic on to do that. He also said he sees value in the monthly series, where officials and experts give presentations on a wide array of topics ranging from transportation and schools to economic outlooks.

Lucy Calkins says she has learned from the science of reading. She's revised her materials. Fountas and Pinnell have not revised theirs. Their publisher, Heinemann, is still selling some products to teach reading that contain debunked practices. Parents, teachers and lawmakers want answers.

American Public Media published a series of investigative articles that revved up the Reading Wars. Despite research that has supported phonics-based programs, Guided Reading programs that depend on the three cuing system continue to be implemented across the nation. The APM articles have created a push to expose the ineffectiveness of these programs. Lucy Calkins and Fountas and Pinnell have been targeted in this campaign. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact this movement will have on improving reading education.

Episode Description Pentucket Regional School District  transitioned from balanced  literacy programs to teaching and learning with structured literacy and reading science. Coaches and leaders used data to support educators in understanding the purpose of the transition. They unpacked why the materials were different from what they previously used. Key takeaway: You can't take your old practices with you and use them with the new materials. Pentucket currently utilizes Wit & Wisdom ELA, Geodes, Fundations, and Heggerty. Related EpisodesEp. 94: “If only I would have known…” Book Talk with Author Faith Borkowsky  Ep. 10: Noticing the #KnowledgeGap with Natalie Wexler Ep. 16: Scaling Literacy Success with Brian KingsleyEp. 69: Wondering about Wit & Wisdom ELA? Resources Grassroots Enthusiasm Powers Adoption of Evidence-Based ELA and Math CurriculaData Discussions Drive Progress: Pentucket's Curriculum Journey The Shift from Fountas & Pinnell to Research-Aligned Reading InstructionText at the Center (MEredith and Sue) Understanding Wit & Wisdom Great Minds Blog, including Preparation Protocol link Teaching with Complex Text: It's a Complex Thing To Do Pentucket Teaching and Learning Blog Follow us!Facebook and join our Facebook Group Twitter Instagram For more resources, visit our website and subscribe to our newsletter. Helping teachers learn about science of reading, knowledge building, and high quality curriculum.

066: Fountas and Pinnell claim that administrators need to prioritize ongoing professional learning for teachers. But what happens when these teachers find out that what they're learning contradicts Fountas and Pinnell's approach?Click here for the show notes for this episode.

065: Fountas and Pinnell tell us that no literacy program can take the place of a teacher's expertise. And they're right! But expertise comes from knowledge, and that knowledge is not innate. In this episode I'll share online courses that will improve your understanding of the science of reading.Click here for the show notes for this episode.

 Fountas and Pinnell are proud to describe their approach as responsive; rather than follow a script, they make observations and tailor their instruction to meet individual needs. They insinuate that more structured programs don't allow teachers to adjust for individual students. Is that a correct assumption? Is structured literacy responsive?Click here for the show notes for this episode.

 063: Fountas and Pinnell are steering clear of the label "balanced literacy." But should they? Do they deserve the label? Click here for the show notes for this episode.

 #062: Fountas and Pinnell caution against focusing "only on accuracy and decoding." If we do that, they say, students may not understand that what they read must make sense. But the science of reading community doesn't advocate phonics alone. Far from it! Click here for the show notes for this episode.

061: Fountas and Pinnell aren't moving when it comes to decodable books. They believe these books are contrived and that decodable books teach children that their reading doesn't have to make sense. But decodable books are exactly what our beginning readers SHOULD be reading. Here's why.Click here for the show notes for this episode.

 For Fountas and Pinnell, guided reading is the key piece of the reading block. But there are some problems with the guided reading approach in K-2.Click here for the show notes for this episode.

059: No one likes to admit they're teaching kids to guess at words, but that's exactly what's happening when we teach beginning readers to use three-cueing. This short episode explains the connection.Click here for the show notes for this episode.

 057: Fountas and Pinnell tell us they're staying out of the current debate about teaching reading because it isn't productive. But there ARE safe, sane places to discuss the current research. Tune in to learn more! Click here for the show notes for this episode.

#056: Fountas and Pinnell are big names in the field of literacy education. But for years they've been accused of advocating methods that do not align with reading research. Fountas and Pinnell have finally responded to this criticism in a 10-part blog series called "Just to Clarify." This episode is the introduction to a 10-part series in which I respond to their blogs, one by one. It's my first "reaction" series, and I'm excited! I hope you are too.

Veteran ESL teacher Jean Luppino, and her colleague, Kristina Signore, share how their English learners have made rapid progress, real-world connections and gained confidence through STORYWORLD's digital, story-based learning platform. STORYWORLD utilizes reading, writing, speaking and listening to engage students with over a dozen first languages, and is easily implemented by any teacher.   Resources:  Connect to STORYWORLD for English Language Learners Connect to STORYWORLD for World Language Learners   Episode Transcript (electronically generated):   Kristina Signore: [00:00:00] So now I see the kids who never raised their hands before raising their hands in my class because they have something interesting to say they have something to contribute to the conversation. The confidence of my students has completely skyrocketed because of STORYWORLD   Kristi Hemingway: [00:00:56] Hi everyone. It's your host Kristi Hemingway. And before we get started I'm going to shamelessly beg you to right this minute, scroll down, whatever platform you're listening on and leave us a star rating and a one word to one sentence review. Ratings and reviews are the flotation devices in the podcast ocean. And we'd be so grateful for those 30 seconds of your time and effort. And now onto the reason, you came. Our first guest Jene Lupino is an energetic, passionate Elementary educator with a master's in English as a second language when we spoke. She was just starting her 20th year at Fairview Elementary where she works primarily with Spanish speaking students.    Jean Luppino: [00:01:43] Prior to that. I was teaching in Fort Lee, New Jersey back in the 80s, 80s, early 90s. When most of my students were all Asian, it started off with Japanese students and then they all left and went back to Japan. And then the next September, the demographics were all Korean students.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:02:04] Jean has worked with students from all over the world with a wide range of first languages. So she knows the challenge of differentiating instruction. And for English Learners also joining us to talk about second language acquisition was jeans colleague, Kristina Signore.   Kristina Signore: [00:02:19] Even though I'm the general education teacher, my population in my classrooms, all ESL bilingual students. So they're the lower students. A lot of them just came from countries, such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador  so they have very minimal English.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:02:40] You came here to talk about STORYWORLD, which is a resource that has really helped you work with your English Learners, and I'm wondering prior to you finding STORYWORLD. What was the frustration?  Or the gap or the need that you were seeking to fill or respond to that caused you to be shopping?    Jean Luppino: [00:03:00] Okay, and it's, this is not just because of covid, even prior to covid. There is no specific book for ESL. A classroom teacher General Ed like Kristina, they will have an assigned book, a math book and so on and so on. There really is nothing like that for ESL. You can get some ESL books workbooks, but it's basically worksheets glued together. You need all four domains. I'm Italian. My grandmother spoke to me in Italian all the time. She lived with us. I don't know one word of Italian, but if somebody speaks in Italian, I understand everything they say. I cannot answer. I cannot even say one sentence because I didn't practice it, so, but yet, I was always hearing it. So I had to listening. I never wrote it. I never read anything in Italian, and I never spoke. So, hence. I cannot speak Italian. When I found this program with the four domains. I thought I won the lottery. I almost didn't even want to get paid to go to work because I was on a high.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:04:11] Jean mentioned covid and are English Learners were a big concern for us during remote and hybrid learning. So, I wanted to hear from Jean how she Kept her students progressing and  engaged.   Jean Luppino: [00:04:24] I started watching my kids during the covid time when we were home teaching how they started progressing. How one girl prior to covid a few months before in February when I asked you to read something that I put up on the Smartboard, when she said, Mrs. Lupino, you know, I know can read and all of a sudden having her read this, or quite a few sentences and STORYWORLD with the intonation and with the excitement. She was so good. That I wanted these people in California to hear my girl read, who six weeks prior actually started crying, and how she was reading with such confidence. It was amazing. So, I said, I gotta tell these people in California. They're onto something. And that's how I made contact with them.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:05:20] Yeah, and so, For the people listening right now who are hearing about STORYWORLD for the very first time, explain to us what exactly the resource is and what I mean by that is like, what do you get? And what are students doing with what they get? Is it full class instruction? I mean, how is it implemented?    Jean Luppino: [00:05:45]  It's a reading program where you learn English through literature and through Reading. I start off in September with the easiest level 1 books, which are leveled according to fountas and pinnell. So we start off with the first book, where Am I  about a brother and sister playing hide and seek and the boy is hiding and he's giving a Clues to his sister. Very simple sentences and repetitive sentences also. Where am I? I am in the box and you see a picture of a boy in the box. Then I play it in Spanish first. I click it on in English. Then I click the little button and I do it in Spanish when they had their own computers. They had to put their finger under each word.    Kristi Hemingway[00:06:31] So each student is seeing the story with the illustrations on the words unfold on their own devices or on one big screen.     Jean Luppino: [00:06:44]   Yes.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:06:45] The classroom that students could potentially be doing this individually, or you could bring it for full class instruction.   Jean Luppino: [00:06:49] Yes, both. So I put it on. When I went into Kristina's room I put it up on the Promethean board, but I followed the same instruction. We went through the story Page by Page. They had to repeat and a few times I clicked it in Spanish so that we get the gist of the story and you can also just click on a word. For instance, There's a story called My Clothes Don't Fit And if you click on clothes just the individual word. It will say ropa clothes, ropa, clothes Ropa. In the past when a child had a book to read, who's is helping them decode? What that word was. They didn't know so they would skip over words.Here they don't miss one word. If you don't know the word in then throw in, thank ra, so they get it in English to get it in Spanish. You can read the whole book in. You can read in English and then before you turn the page, click it in Spanish. You can click on each individual word in English and it will tell you the Spanish translation.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:07:55] Jean has also created notebooks for her students to keep track of the details of the story they're reading and the words they're learning and then STORYWORLD provides additional reinforcement and practice through games.   Jean Luppino: [00:08:07] After you read the story there are vocabulary games, then there are three audio questions and they're basically run the questions are always set up the same. There is an inference question and opinion question, look at this picture and tell me something about what you see in this picture and tell me what's going on in the picture. There's always three audio and then the next day I have the students do the three written part 3 written questions, but we go over it in class the three audio questions. Now are they all going to remember what I said in class Of course not, but even if they look at the picture of the story, my clothes don't fit and they don't remember. This picture is about a girl whose clothes don't fit. Of course, they're not going to say that, but if they even write pants or speak pants too big. Okay, they're coming along, they're getting it and it's okay.   Kristina Signore: [00:09:10] It's saves to, like you can refer back to it as well.    Jean Luppino: [00:09:13] You go back and you find that part and then copy the words or you see what it says.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:09:20] So there are four worksheets that correspond to each story and during remote learning in 2020, STORYWORLD added digital versions of those to their site.  Jean Luppino: [00:09:35] One would be matching where the words, you know, the picture of a shirt, pants, belt shoes and then the words are there on the right? So they have to, you know, with their finger on the Chromebook or with the stylus. It allows them to draw the line. And then, they have to unscramble some words, big clothes to Big the,  the clothes are too big. They have to put it in the right order and they could go back to the story and find that sentence. So homework for Monday night there, to two pages, digitally Tuesday night to page three and four digitally Wednesday night. The audio, three questions, Thursday night, the written part. I have listening, speaking, Reading ,Writing all there. And if you're part of the Wida Consortium you  know the access for ELL test that many states are part of. They want you to spend an equal amount of time 25 percent, 25, 25 and 25. You can't Just give them a worksheet.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:10:34] when you say home. They actually are doing it for homework. Am I right?    Jean Luppino: [00:10:40] Correct.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:10:41] Outside of school.  So then Kristina, you are a regular, you're a gen Ed classroom teacher Jene is pushing into your classroom occasionally to work with your students. But then, are you also using STORYWORLD outside of the time that Jene's is in your classroom?    Kristina Signore: [00:10:59] Absolutely. So I love how versatile STORYWORLD is because you can really adapt it to your curriculum. I've used STORYWORLD for grammar for my students because we're still expected to teach them, you know, the third grade standards. So, what I would do is, I would feature the story on my Promethean board, which is my smart board, and we would go through it and say okay show me an example of a statement,  Show me an example of a question. So it's very useful for that. And there's a lot of sciencey kinds of books lso on there about animals. Jean Luppino: [00:11:33] and the nonfiction section.    Kristina Signore: [00:11:34] Actually, yes, the nonfiction section. So we do a lot on biomes and animal life. So I kind of try to adapt it with that and there's new stories coming out. There's actually a story about butterflies, which is a big unit because we talk about life cycles in third grade. So I'm definitely going to be using The Butterfly, A Monarch Butterfly story to help with that. And I also have seen Jene do a lot of a flipped classroom approach with it, which I think is really cool because you can have your kids Read the stories at home and then respond to them while you're in class. So they can, you know, discuss the story a little bit further, but they've already read it previously and that's a little bit better for the advanced students. And I also use STORYWORLD as an approach to teaching the students how to build their stamina. They're reading stamina. So, I am put a week certain blocked amount of time for independent reading for my students. Well, there are some students that are struggling readers and they use STORYWORLD during that time because it's the time for them where they can practice the language. And I've seen them build their confidence because of that, because they're more confident in the language. And they've been learning these words and the vocabulary, and how to speak with Mrs. Lupino. They continue practicing during the independent reading time. And I see that now they are more confident to talk with their friends and discuss stories.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:05]  It sounds like you're both very enthusiastic about the content of the stories because sometimes, you know, used to be that you had these leveled readers that were all just about appropriate vocabulary, but the stories themselves were not that engaging. So can you talk to the question of the quality of the literature and the engagement and how do students like it? Do they like the stories?  Kristina Signore: [00:13:28] They really do like it. And I    Jean Luppino: [00:13:29] And I think, Remember Brian,    Kristina Signore: [00:13:30] aww of that was a good one.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:13:27] You have to tell that one.   Jean Luppino: [00:13:34] I read, I read in second grade.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:36] I actually lost Jene and Kristina in the middle of this story to a dreaded Zoom freeze. But basically the kids had read a STORYWORLD story about how the pandas are disappearing because they're losing their habitat. The bamboo forests are being cut down. Jean didn't think that this little boy, Brian had comprehended much of the story because his English was very limited and they really hadn't worked through all the vocabulary yet, but then during recess, Brian came, running up to her, tugging on her sleeve, with great urgency and leading her over toward the fence. And she just assumed that someone needed a Band-Aid or maybe some kids needed help with the conflict.  Jean Luppino: [00:14:18] I went over and I said, what is it? What do you want? And this little boy just pointed to the fence and he said, look on the other side of the fence was somebody's house but it was a lot of overgrowth bushes and and I, you know, I wanted to get back to the group that I was supposed to be with, but I said, but what am I looking at? Like I'm thinking, is there a frog? Did they see a snake? Is a bird in the tree, like what am I looking at a butterfly and  the little boy said, bamboo. Look Mrs. Lupino there's bamboo and he said just like in the story. So Mrs. Lupino, If there's bamboo here if the pandas need food, they can come here because there's so much bamboo for them to eat. And then he said do we have any panda bears Where we live? Meaning, New Jersey? And I said, that's a really good question. Jean Luppino: [00:15:18] Yeah,but I actually took a picture of the boy pointing to the bamboo and sent it to STORYWORLD, and sent it to my principal and my our literacy coach saying, this little boy made a connection.    Kristina Signore: [00:15:29] Well, they are very excited and enthusiastic about STORYWORLD because when you came into my classroom the other day Jene and you were like, oh hi guys, welcome back. I said that's Mrs.Luppino  you know she's your ESL teacher. Are we going to do STORYWORLD? Again? The kids are Yeah, you are. Oh, yes. I love STORYWORLD    Jean Luppino: [00:15:50]  Because they can also just read it on their own. They don't have to ask an adult. What's this word? How do you pronounce it?   Kristina Signore: [00:15:55] Like the pictures that go along with the stories too. Because they're sort of interactive.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:16:00] The STORYWORLD platform includes a teacher dashboard to track Student Activity and progress.    Jean Luppino: [00:16:09] Click on the dashboard and I went. Hmm, you did not finish your audio. So you know the three questions so, you know, they'll have an excuse of whatever but I need that done. I use the audio every week as a quiz, I use the written part every week as a test. So yes, I have 1 million test scores, but I like to see how they progress as they're writing. Sometimes as I said, it's just a word and then they can string a couple of words together. Then it becomes a nice sentence. Plus, we go over it a lot. I repeat. There were no surprises in my class.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:16:46] So students like it and they're motivated by their rapid progress, but I wondered about the learning curve for teachers as far as implementation.    Jean Luppino: [00:16:58] There's a lot of things out there. They're really difficult to use for teachers. Okay, you see each other in the hallway saying, do you know how to get onto it? Like what he's supposed to touch? This is not like that. This is easy and then remember our students at home last year was the first time they had ever even touched a computer and they didn't have to call their mom to show them What do I touch? It's very self-explanatory. ,so easy for the kids and the teachers.   Kristina Signore: [00:17:24] It's user-friendly. Lee is just to click on their name like when they go on STORYWORLD they just find their name on your list, they click their name and it logs them in,    Jean Luppino: [00:17:35] Then they are on    Kristina Signore: [00:17:37] They don't have to worry about remembering the password, remembering a username. You know, it's very user friendly, especially for the elementary.   Jean Luppino: [00:17:43] When I check it during the week. I see that some of the kids read five or six stories and it's not just that they opened it and close it. It tells you how much time they spent reading the book and how many sessions and then you could see their comprehension. It gives you a graph with a comprehension. They're listening and the best thing is which is a lot of fun. The company has six games in the exact same games for every story. One is like a tornado spinning around dropping words and you have to put them in order. One is a magic wand that you click the magic wand and then the word comes out and you have to read it the six games. And they like it   so they're playing six games, but it's all related to that story.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:18:34] So the gamified learning is really motivating for the students. That sounds like, it sounds like  their own ability to make fast and measurable progress is also motivating to them And you also said that this is really easy to implement for teachers. Did you receive any kind of training or are there training? Is there training available on the website? How did you get up and running? With the program. And how long did it take? Kristina Signore: [00:18:59]  You all play around with it. Jean Luppino: [00:19:03] But when I first got it, there weren't little short videos because it's so simple. You don't need any of these hour  videos. It was really basic how to put the kids on your roster. right now. It's English, Spanish and Chinese. And you just clock in. I speak Spanish.    Jean Luppino: [00:19:21] I want to learn English. Boom. So always be set up like that or you could write I speak English. I want to learn Chinese, I guess we could learn Chinese.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:19:30] Not only can you learn. Mandarin STORYWORLD's entire program and Library will be released very soon in Cantonese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, Bengali, Filipino, Haitian, Creole and more. There are adding new languages even as you're listening to this podcast. And my second Insider scoop. Is that a free 90 day pilot or trial is available to any teacher through the STORYWORLD website, you have nothing to lose and your second language Learners have everything to gain by you heading to EdCuration.com and reaching out to STORYWORLD. All one word. I'm pretty sure that Jene and Kristina are on a mission to see STORYWORLD in every single school and District.    Jean Luppino: [00:20:18] When I first started using this,and it was the height of covid. I was outside and my neighbor was having her cousin from Brooklyn come by and as she parked, Sitting on my step. She said  Jene. This is my cousin. She's an ESL teacher in Brooklyn. And I said, oh hi, so nice to meet you from across the street, you know, and I said, can I ask you? What do you what do you use?    Jean Luppino: [00:20:41] I'm always interested in  what other ESL teachers use. We were talking in the middle of the street. She said it is so hard. Sometimes I even play my guitar. You look for a zero, you'll make a Xerox copy of this or a Xerox copy of that or you know you kind of all over the place without a system. I need a system.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:21:05] So what did you use before, you found STORYWORLD? How were you addressing this learning?   Jean Luppino: [00:21:07] My sister was a third grade teacher in a second grade teacher. My daughter is a teacher. They would bring me home  grammar books or this or a little paragraphs to read what questions and I say, but my kids can't read those paragraphs unless I sit there and read each and every word. With them and there's no pictures. That's why when people give worksheets just worksheets. What is the worksheet? I mean, you're just copying you. It doesn't mean anything. Kristi Hemingway:[00:21:42] Yeah, like you said, you need the four domains. You need to hear    Jean Luppino: [00:21:48]  what I want to tell you about this girl. So when I asked her, I  said, oh, you teach in Brooklyn. So I said, what do your kids speak? She said, Chinese, so I said, she said, Mandarin Chinese. And I said, wait a minute. I went inside and got my computer. I made her sit on my front steps and I went through it with her. She was so excited. We became cellphone friends.   Jean Luppino: [00:22:06] she would write to me. Oh my God, if the school doesn't buy it for me. I'm going to see if the PTA will buy it for Me. Oh, I don't care if they don't buy it from me. I'm gonna buy it myself. She said that saved her life because it had, it was interesting. It wasn't a worksheet. It's engaging. Imagine going to Russia because your parents have to move there and you're in a classroom and the teacher, you're in the fifth or  sixth grade, the teacher's hand in your worksheet and Russian. What is it? I wouldn't even know which direction to turn the paper to and you're supposed to get a dictionary and look up words and and whose Teaching you the  pronunciation.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:22:46] Yeah , this is the four domains. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.    Jean Luppino: [00:22:50]  This is the four domains. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:22:52] It's so important So I'm curious about you. Kristina has this shifted, your teaching in your classroom at all as far as your own pedagogy or your own practice.   Kristina Signore:[00:23:00]  Well, it's definitely shifted the teaching in my classroom because it's shifted The Learning in my classroom. If that makes sense. My students went from kind of quiet, Disengaged, you know, they were afraid to speak up in the classroom because they had limited English. What is now they have something that's reinforcing the language for them and they've become more confident because they're practicing, not just with Jean, but at home alone, or with their friends, how to speak. So now, I see the kids who never raised their hands before raising their hands in my class because they have something interesting to say they have something to contribute to the conversation. The confidence of my students has completely skyrocketed because of STORYWORLD and that's the big thing for me. I feel that the most important thing for students is to be confident learners because when you're a confident learner you're ready to dive into anything new. You're ready to collaborate with your peers. You're ready to take on a project and do critical thinking. So I think that STORYWORLD has definitely contributed to their academic success 100%    Kristi Hemingway:[00:24:19] Grade level wise. What is the span that we're talking about for this resource?    Kristina Signore: [00:24:23] I mean, what would you say?    Jean Luppino: [00:24:26] I think you could read it up through high  school because    Kristina Hemingway: [00:24:28] Kindergarten up through high school.   Jean Luppino: [00:24:29] I believe So Because put yourself going into another country Trying to read a book. The non-fiction books that are listed have a lot of information, but it's in an simpler form, but the vocabulary. STORYWORLD uses a lot of vocabulary that is in the science Book. The Social Studies book. I don't know if I still want to go back and learn Italian. I kind of want a book that I'm going to be able to relate to and it's not going to be way over my head. So to give me the confidence.   Kristina Signore: [00:25:01]  It relates. I think the really amazing thing about STORYWORLD is that it relates to real life experience. Like my clothes don't fit. That's a book that they I can relate to their real life everyday life. They're learning how to say, my clothes don't fit. This is too small. This is too big. They're learning everyday, sort of vocabulary and experiences.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:25:27] Yeah, so it's more about the reading level that a student is at rather than the grade level that they're at.   Kristina Signore: [00:25:32] Yes. Yes, because you've been laying on, you can be in high school and Beyond a fountas and Pinnell D level and Books coincide with the fountas and Pinnell leveling, right. And when you're    Jean Luppino: [00:25:46]  Right and when you're speaking your language proficiency.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:25:49] So I'm curious. So you started using this as a school a year ago, what difference have you noticed with your incoming students? This fall having had STORYWORLD last year. Kristina Signore: [00:25:59] So I have the lowest ESL kids and typically, when I get the really low ESL kids. They have extremely limited English.    Kristina Signore: [00:26:12] I mean they just know how to say yes, no, bathroom simple words. Some of them don't even know how to do that. But because this program has been implemented last year and Jean's already been working with my students. I noticed that the class I've gotten this year everybody speaks English. Now, is it expert level English obviously not but they all can communicate with me. Whereas last year. I had a good chunk of kids that Didn't know how to speak with me at all.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:26:41] We're starting from stracht.    Kristina Signore: [00:26:45] I definitely see a difference with students and I have had students last year, William for instance, beginning of the school year,    Jean Luppino: [00:26:55] Oh my Gosh, amazing story    Kristina Signore: [00:26:56] He was from Guatemala. He came right When, when he was in second grade. He came right at the height of the pandemic. So we shut school down. So he has no in school. He's had No in Sports Experience, basically because of STORYWORLD. He went from not being able to speak any English to fluent in six months.   Jean Luppino: [00:27:20] Not just reading speaking.    Kristina Signore: [00:27:22] Speaking reading. I mean, it's unbelievable. He worked hard. He was using the games and he went from like I said, speaking no English. I'm telling you all that I could say was his name. I was amazed and I'd say, you know, that I like I just want to    Jean Luppino: [00:27:40] I was amazed and I'd say, you know, that I like I just want to   Know he Say,   oh, I read STORYWORLD every night. I love all the stories. I read a lot, and then I'd go, I'd look on  my dashboard and say,oh my god.He went to almost the whole program, you know, and kept going back and read it again and again, and again, and he would practice. And then, you know, what? Well, we were virtual. I would see the mothers coming on when we were talking, they'd say Hi Mrs.Lupino and I said, hi senora and while the they were repeating the mother in the background was repeating Me ropa no me queda! My clothes no fit. Mmm. And then the child would say, don't fit my clothes. Don't fit. Well, actually, yes, Mommy, you could use it to, you're gonna learn a lot of English.    Kristina Signore: [00:28:28] You can review what they did at home and see. Oh, wow, you know, they're having trouble with the vocabulary or they're having trouble with the speaking part and you can kind of adjust your lesson plans to meet the needs of your students.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:28:39] So lots of repetition and low stakes practice.It sounds like   Jean Luppino: [00:28:42] very simple and now because I bragged about this program so much. I really feel it's my Paradigm. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm other teachers and other schools calling me say Jene. Um, can you tell me all about that? I invite them over. I show them. They can't believe how easy it is.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:29:03] So if there are other teachers listening, like the woman you met from Brooklyn and saying, how can I get my hands on this and if their is a teacher whose school maybe doesn't have the budget for it. Or they're not going to do like a whole adoption thing. Who can  use this? Does it have to be district-wide or school-wide? Can it just be that teacher from Brooklyn who just wants to start using it.   Jean Luppino: [00:29:26] Yes, you can have one person use it. It doesn't have to be an entire District. It's very affordable. And I know this STORYWORLD will work with you. So it usually goes one licenses for like one. It doesn't really go by teacher it. By how many students you have?   Kristina Signore: [00:29:43] So like, if you have, I think it's 30    Jean Luppino: [00:29:45] CEO of this company. Really wants the kids to learn. She will bend over backwards to help you and to get it for you. Just remember that, boy who said, look Mrs. Lupino bamboo. He made a connection.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:30:02] Speaking of connections. You can connect to STORYWORLD. All one word at EdCuration.com and get signed up for their 90-day Free trial, in addition to the many new languages being added to the program. They are developing a new line of lesson plans that include Multicultural and social-emotional extensions and links to other video resources. They're also adding new nonfiction stories with more advanced science Concepts and vocabulary. For example, there will be a unit on the migration of the monarch butterfly Super cool. You like, Jene are going to feel like you've won the lottery. Lottery and your students confidence will soar with the butterflies. Now before I sign off, I'd like to remind you personally.

Poetry plays a key role in literacy learning, but the subject is still easily misunderstood. Teachers must understand the purpose of poetry, why and how we teach it.Poetry requires intentional focus, not just an add-on or a four week unit. Making poetry a part of your weekly or fortnightly routine (K-6) clearly shows students how much you value it. It enables them to develop momentum in their poetry learning and to build their understanding of poetry over time.Carve out a Poetry Workshop (once a week/fortnight):Poet TalkPoetry Read Aloud within the Mini LessonPoetry Reading, Writing, ConferringPoetry SharingTantalising Texts - We need to build a storehouse of tantalising poems to bring to our students. We read and collect;  anthologies, singular treasures heard, quoted, found. Teachific has built an anthology of poems K-2, 3-6.Together - Read Aloud poems, develop a reservoir of class favourites, reread, read together, enjoy together, wonder, explore and notice together.

If you haven’t heard of Arlo McKinley yet, you should know he comes with John Prine’s seal of approval. Before Prine’s heartbreaking death this spring, the legendary folk singer handpicked McKinley to join his Oh Boy Records label, an honor granted to only a handful of musicians over the last couple of decades. This August, McKinley released Die Midwestern on the independent label, and his follow-up to 2014’s self-titled debut has been receiving high praise from music media and fans ever since. Before McKinley was releasing sad country ballads on the label of one of his musical heroes though, he was playing in Cincinnati punk and hardcore bands and teaming up with one of his buddies in projects that spanned more than a decade. McKinley recently joined My First Band host Tyler Maas via WiFi to discuss his first exposure to musical performance as a boy in his family’s Bapist church, digging through his dad’s extensive vinyl collection as a kid and forming his first band, Mourning Child, as a teenager. Over the nearly hour-and-a-half-long discussion, McKinley also discussed being recruited to join Breaking Point, a punk rock band that he sang in, as well as how he talked himself into becoming the bassist in Headstall, a hardcore band, before he even knew how to play the instrument. After he left Headstall, McKinley quit performing for a few years and taught himself how to play guitar. A chance conversation with fellow Cincinnati musician Jeremy Pinnell led to McKinley joining a band called Latter Day and then playing with Pinnell for more than a decade in a handful of projects, including a memorable run as an indie folk duo called The Great Depression. Finally, McKinley revealed how he slowly made the transition from Tim Carr, his birth name, to the alter ego performing moniker of Arlo McKinley and how that endeavor has grown beyond his wildest dreams. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and wherever else you get podcasts. Music used in this show comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and Arlo McKinley ("Die Midwestern").

I think it must have been about a year since René and I last met each other in real life. That must have been during Cannes XR if I remember correctly. In the meantime, a lot has happened with Kaleidoscope and the pandemic has certainly accelerated the implementation of the new business model. René Pinnell is Founder and CEO of Kaleidoscope and has a clear mission and vision where he wants to go with the platform. Just like last year, Kaleidoscope and Cannes XR are teaming up and René gives us insights on what we can expect from this collaboration. Listen to his podcast how vision with action can change the world for XR artists.

When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as a “ming-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell's debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. His 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move.  Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs.  Here Pinnell joyfully embraces the working life, family obligations, and faith. Recorded July 2018 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E70 In today's episode, I discuss informal running records (reading records). Our school expects us to formally assess reading three times a year by using Fountas and Pinnell, and I used to formally assess as well whenever I suspected a student had moved up a level. However, now we are being advised to only perform a formal reading record in between our formal report out times. Listen to find out the difference between the two assessments, and how you can use them in your classroom as well.  Contact: Twitter: @TamiJ123 Podcast show notes & to listen online: Time to Teach Website Links Time to Teach Facebook Page Teachers For Effective Curriculum Facebook Group (Facebook Group) My Blog: Notes From A First Grade Classroom Music Credits: Adventures by A Himitsu @a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Country music singer Jeremy Pinnell traveled hundreds of miles before returning home to perform at the Octave in Covington. The Northern Kentucky native spent the last four weeks driving out west and then back again for the western leg of his 2018 summer tour. The tour promoted Pinnell's second full-length studio album "Ties of Blood and Affection," which the singer released on SofaBurn Records last August. Saturday's show is the first time that Pinnell will perform a local set with his full band, the 55s in more than a year. Rolling Stone Magazine described Pinell's sound as, "no frills honky-rock with plenty of pedal steel, Western swing and vocals as smooth as the highest dollar whiskey" in an October review of his latest album.  The article also noted that the tracks on "Ties of Blood and Affection" were "a stellar collection that could earn Pinnell comparisons to Sturgill Simpson." That praise builds upon the national recognition the Elsmere, Kentucky native received in 2014 after the release of his first solo studio album "OH/KY."  “I definitely felt more freedom in making this album," Pinnell told Rolling Stone when discussing "Ties of Blood and Affection." "Just accepting who I was and what I sounded like." Set list: "The Ballad of 1892" "A Different Kind of Love" - interview - "Take the Wheel" "Feel This Right"
