School Leadership 2.0
A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Emergency memo to teachers: please return to real reading
Illiteracy is still the big problem. The education establishment foisted a phony method on the American public. That would be sight-words, an instructional method that guarantees most kids will never learn to read.
The podcast (and transcript) introduces three experts, all women accustomed to working with teachers:
Nora Chahbazi, Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction / EBLI
Emily Hanford, The Science of Reading
Denise Eide, The Logic of English
I don't know these women but their work has impressed me over the years. They are very passionate about making sure children can read. I encourage teachers to do their own homework and pick the one that makes the most sense.
The main thing is to stop putting up with inferior methods. Escape from the swamp.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
