• Reading instruction must follow science over subjectiveness

  23-04-2025 22:29 via ocregister.com
  
  There is a vocal minority of English learner advocates in California who have chosen to argue — without credible evidence — that structured literacy is ineffective for multilingual learners. They sometimes cite “philosophical differences” as their reasoning behind this claim. I have been an educator for 37 years, and I choose to use data-informed decision-making for my students’ instruction rather than subjective beliefs.

  “He’s really smart. He’s a tremendous speaker. He’s got a great personality. He’s good-looking,” Allan said of his old friend. “He co

  As head coach Sean McVay was previewing his plans for the Rams’ offense in 2025 to quarterback Matthew Stafford, he talked about his desire to have a more versatile attack in this coming season. One that could sustain injuries and continue to hum.
  But the deep dive into exactly what McVay has envisioned would have to wait.
