Thank you @NateJoseph19 and @NathanielRSwain for this fantastic conversation about RTI and MTSS. Something every educator should listen to. It's about knowing better so that you can do better! youtu.be/4jpFRnAaflU?si…

So happy to see this finally happening—after decades of advocacy, change is coming! I’ve been pushing for years, & the changes for kids at risk of reading failure. Excited for the symposium and what’s ahead for public education. #RightToRead #LiteracyMatters

Happy #TBT! Found this old calendar where I was Miss July 2010 💁‍♀️ Back then, I was told I was too #dyslexic to become a certified #specialed teacher. Didn’t get that title—but I’ve still changed lives, and I’m proud of the path I’ve taken. 💙 #Dyslexia #RightToRead

As a dyslexic child I was put into a few reading interventions that didn't work for me before I found one that did. This was very hard on my self esteem. Please don't just assume the interventions that are offered to your child are going to work.

So this popped up on my feed today… we need to demand better for our children, teens and adults who face the consequences of reading failure either personally or through someone they love. apple.news/AzR_O-UwaRDqD6… #RightToRead

OMG! This is the worst. I hate it when dyslexic kids/adults are told they aren't trying or that they are just lazy. I remember being told this, I've been told this about my children. It simply isn' true. @janhasbrouck & I debunked this myth youtu.be/VNe78Lqh_7E

Have you ever been told your child will out grow their #Dyslexia? This doesn't happen, but hopefully they will learn strategies to support it. Watch @janhasbrouck and I discuss this myth: youtube.com/watch?v=wEK44S… #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

Sometimes it feels like those with those with #ADHD can't ever focus, but in reality they can. Learn more about this myth by watching this youtu.be/5VR8cH3i4Do #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Coke bottling is something that happens a lot at my house. School can be so taxing on my kiddos that when they get home to a safe place, they are just ready to explode! You can learn more about why this happens by watching this youtu.be/zUfB_nHFq_c #AutismAwarenessMonth

Thanks to @natwexler for the post! This is a much needed wakeup call for our education system. They ways we have been teaching for the past 15 years isn't setting our kids up for success. We need to do more and we can't just blame technology nataliewexler.substack.com/p/the-college-…
