@WNYEdAlliance

Thanks to @WBEN for highlighting the reading crisis in our region and the need to discuss ways in which reading instruction should be improved in WNY schools. This is an important conversation.

We agree with school leaders on two points.

First, we agree that the NYSED data is not “an accurate reflection of a student’s growth.”

But that isn’t the point of our report.

According to NYSED, the ELA assessments “provide students, families, and educators credible measures of students' English Language Arts skills and knowledge."

English teachers: In this🧵, I'll share some research & articles to convince you genre matters more than you think it does, regardless of grade span. AND if you read to the end, I'll share a free resource to help you take action! Take 5 mins & join me!... #literacy #teamenglish

...Let's wade in slowly — with some Renaissance Art! Check out this painting from Giuseppe Arcimboldo: an upside-down fruit bowl almost immediately looks like a face to us: something called "pareidolia." Our brains are trained to see it based on our experience. (cool, right?)…

…You've likely experienced this at school. Eye-tracking research suggests that experienced teachers notice different things than novice ones when they watch videos of instruction (e.g. spotting un-engaged students).… bit.ly/3XewGHC

@FearnhillSchool has recently gone from RI to Good and our approach to reading across school was mentioned in the report as a strength. This thread outlines the way we run reading interventions and outlines some of the challenges and things that worked for us 🧵

We started by training a few key people to deliver reading fluency/echo reading sessions and administer the YARC test. Huge thanks goes to @HertsEnglish and @HfLSecondaryEng for their fantastic training and support.

We tested our KS3 students with the YARC single word reader test - quick and simple and only needed 5 mins out of lesson - then YARC tested any with below age reading. Planned 4 strands for intervention to ensure sessions were tailored to needs…

Thinking Reading

@ThinkReadHQ

1. Today's headline '175,000 11-year-olds starting secondary school are unable to read properly, Ofsted head warns'

Must we accept that a certain proportion of students will leave school illiterate to some degree? Does it matter if some can't read? 🧵

#EduTwitter #Literacy

2. If you can’t read, you can’t participate in social discourse as others do. You have to adapt - or just fake it.

3. Being a poor reader massively increases a child’s vulnerability.

#Financial #Literacy begins at home.
Teach your children to save coins, and small notes, inside a locker, or some other toy which imitates a treasure chest.
Once they do that, they will be careful with spending and saving for the rest of their lives.
Awareness matters!

When I was a kid, I remember banks visiting my school to open student #savings accounts.
They used to give students #passbooks, which operated as cheque books.
Parents were cosignatories.
That is how I developed a passion for saving money.

Most of the developing economies fail to grow well because they have a savings crisis!
They need to import #capital from overseas to fund development projects and fix the gap between investment resources.
SE- Asian Nations have done well because of a high domestic #savings rate.

In this thread students @MQLinguistics
@Macquarie_Uni share what they've learned so far (1st quarter of semester)

⬇️⬇️⬇️Favorite facts about #literacies ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Learning about message sticks is my favorite. When thinking about message sticks from a #literacies perspective, they seem very modern.

It is intriguing to learn that humans weren't made to #read and that it is possible due to brain plasticity. It is also fascinating that #reading #Chinese script and alphabetic #writing activates different brains areas

In the course of living my life, I am usually preoccupied with key life questions that guide my thinking, work and impact. This one is a #Thread listing the issues/ questions that I am considering. I share them in no particular order.

1. I am pondering what it would take for government to be truly controlled by the people and how governance can be less elitist. Most people in the world do not have a clue of how and why decisions that impact them are made by politicians (who often have very low expertise)

2. I am specifically wondering about information and data usage and how it can be better (and more) used by people - you and I - to specifically guide our personal actions, plans and how we demand for our rights.

Historically #Kashmiri women have enjoyed freedom like none of their counterparts in the other regions of our country. The intrusion of regressive ideologies, targeted at women, in the 90’s, might have pushed them behind but they are rapidly changing the gender norms.

#Kashmir

The spirit of women in #Kashmir, supported aptly by various #government initiatives, have grown wings that enable them to soar the skies and break the glass ceiling.
#WomenEmpowerment #Kashmir

@FatimaDar_jk @MirYanaSY @AsimKhanTweets @IAmErAijaz

With the #abrogation, women of #Kashmir now have a stake in their ancestral properties regardless of their choice is spouse. This have liberated women who are not bound, shackled with patriarchal laws.

پاکستان کی لبرل و سیکولر اشرافیہ کو “ #تصوف “ کا بہت شوق ہے مگر انہیں عمران خان صاحب و تحریک انصاف کا تصوف پسند نہیں ہے ۔ دونوں گروہ قدیم اور اصل صوفیاء کے یہ اقوال پڑھیں اور آنکھیں کھول لیں (بحوالہ قول الجمیل از شاہ ولی اللہ )

جس #تصوف #سلوک و #طریقت کو مزاروں ، چلوں اور وظیفوں میں ڈھونڈا جاتا ہے وہ تصوف اور وہ صوفی صرف خدمت خلق میں ہے

#سعدی_شیرازی

طریقت بجز خدمت خلق نیست

بہ تسبیح و سجادہ و دلق نیست

“طریقت، خدمت خلق کے سوا کچھ اور نہیں ہے”

“یہ تسبیح اور سجادہ اور گدڑی سے (میں) نہیں ہے”

تصوف ، سلوک و طریقت یونیورسٹیوں سے نہیں درد دل سے ہے سائنس کو مذہب سے الگ رکھیں دونوں کو برباد کریگی یہ ملاوٹ - تصوف و سلوک و طریقت صرف یہ ہے 👇

#خواجہ_میر_درد

درد دل کے واسطے پیدا کیا انسان کو

ورنہ طاعت کے لیے کچھ کم نہ تھے کر و بیاں

Does @IowaGOP @realiowacrs appreciate the good work that @ChuckGrassley is doing to point blame at #antifa for the #CapitolRiots? Understand that y'all need it because jailed constituents can't vote.

The #IAGOP could use to support remedial #literacy program for seniors elected from their ranks. They might be able to understand the #CapitolRiots better.

It's something that @iowacrs @YoungIowaGOP @officialifcr could volunteer to better their community.

How many contacts do the #scgop have with these types?

How many of the @SCGOP's constituents would end up in jail for those contacts, be unable to vote for either @TimScottSC or @LindseyGrahamSC? #CapitolRiots
