Our new article shows that fiber density in the left arcuate fasciculus is consistently associated with phonological decoding ability, with better decoders showing greater fiber density even before learning to read. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Phonological decoding ability is associated with fiber density of the left arcuate fasciculus longitudinally across reading development
Numerous studies have linked reading ability to white matter microstructure using diffusion tensor imaging, but findings have been inconsistent and la…

SpEd teachers are the special forces of the education workforce. They have the highest level of skill/expertise in an incredible range of skills (behavior management, assessment, instruction, law/policy, etc.). We need more special education teachers, not less.
Yeah the left hand side is mostly Title IX compliance and the right hand side is mostly SpEd teachers.
But they could hire “real” teachers is they just got rid of these ones, see
