"The science of reading is not a philosophy, ideology, curriculum, instructional program, commercial product, or political movement. It cannot provide us with absolute certainty. It is a cumulative, reliable, and self-correcting body of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge derived from decades of converging evidence across multiple scientific disciplines, diverse student populations, and varied instructional settings".

We are very proud to have had the opportunity to work with Colleen and the team to develop some Reading Reconsidered style units for Australian texts. We learnt so much from this process. Make sure to check out what is available through @OchreEducation and @TeachLikeAChamp
If you love books and are concerned that students are not reading enough of them, here's the list of the book units that are available for grades 5-8 in our Reading Reconsidered Curriculum.

Holidays: Day 1-“This may sound awfully gradual, but teaching reading is an incremental process in which every lesson is a tiny contribution to something vast”.. 😍 You got me here Christopher Such! This is why knowing the intricacies of reading for teachers is vital 📚🐛

Lesson observation benefits the observer more than the observed. And those who observe most teach least.
If we want observation to improve teaching, we should be willing to model, to be watched, and to share the risk.
Professional trust is built through reciprocity, not scrutiny alone.

It was such an honour to meet @NickGibbUK today at the #SoLA conference today. As the Minister for Education, he did outstanding work shifting England to the explicit teaching of phonics, maths and knowledge rich curriculum. He now works to improve education around the world.

I’ve just ordered this wonderful book written by an awesome Aussie. It has a great message that every one of us who teach should recognise!

Teachers don’t improve in the abstract. They improve, or fail to, in the schools they work in.
If we want better teaching, we need better school cultures: ordered, trusting, developmental, and led by principals who know how to make improvement possible.
Better schools = better teachers
