The Instructional Hierarchy is a framework that includes three phases of learning: acquisition, fluency, & generalization/adaptation. A framework developed to design instruction for students, we can consider how this framework applies to the learning phases for the adults we support as well.

In Mo Willems’ book “Waiting Is Not Easy” Piggie has a surprise for Gerald, but he has to wait for it. He waits the entire book until he says “This was worth the wait.” To which Piggie replies, “I know.”
Leadership in a Reading Revolution
You say you want a revolution...
We find ourselves amidst a Reading Revolution in education. Educators are realizing that reading instruction needs to change. Journalists are informing the public....

I consider being asked to provide a recommendation letter or serve as a reference a high compliment.
When my colleagues (current and former) ask me to do this for them, it demonstrates a high level of trust and respect. It also means that I had some sort of lasting impact on our relationship.

Over the past week, I presented at 2 events.
I facilitated a session at the Mebane Early Literacy Summit called The Text Matters. This session examined how to tease apart the skills our texts demand to then inform instruction. Participants’ improvement feedback was asking for more time!

Coaches, stop and think… where (and how) are you spending your time? With whom are you spending your time?
It is a NUMBER ONE vent I hear from coaches: “I don’t have time to coach!”
