It has been a joy to help create the kind of professional development I wish I had when I was in the classroom: instructionally-focused, teacher-led, video-based. I wrote a piece for the @shankerinst.bsky.social about how it works and how you can DIY this PD in your own school or district.
In a new post, @katasolow.bsky.social highlights a model of PD that bridges the research-to-practice gap by providing teachers with concrete examples of great literacy instruction. www.shankerinstitute.org/blog/when-te...
When Teachers Teach Teachers, Teachers Learn
Teachers deserve concrete, practical, and teacher-led PD.

Just spoke to a high school literacy specialist who in 3 years has built a successful literacy intervention program at her small, rural school (msg me to learn more). What's next for this teacher, you may wonder?

And now Faith Howard is joining our next cohort of Goyen Literacy Fellows. Couldn't be more excited to work with and learn from this brilliant educator!
Faith Howard's literacy lab classes helped older students make major comprehension gains.
Now she is working to spread the teaching method across Wyoming, where literacy has been a concern for years.

Coming Friday: Educators and experts say students are reading fewer books in English class—that the entire priority of English class has changed. What’s behind the shift? Subscribe to The Bell Ringer and find out which ELA curricula make reading whole books a priority.

Elana Gordon does intervention with students well-below their peers in reading skills.
“At this point in the year, I have exited 26 students from intervention, meaning that these students not only made progress but caught up to their peers.”

The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.
