This is a travesty. It makes me angry for so many reasons.
I wonder how many times across our nation this story is repeated.
It is a dereliction of duty for the state of Connecticut and in particular for the Hartford School District.

Thank you @AndyPierrotti for exposing the root of the problem with Georgia’s excessively low reading proficiency rates!

Nate, sometimes you are too Canadian! 🇨🇦
I was trained to be a RR teacher. I thought I was being given THE BEST, researched model for teaching emergent readers. But after I looked at the evidence, I changed my practice.
RR teachers are dedicated, but it's time they looked at the research.
