Books | Teaching By Science
Iβve added a list of books to Teaching by Science that have helped me to improve my knowledge of evidence based teaching. I am sure that they are many other amazing books out there, but I didnβt want to endorse anything I hadnβt personally read.

Redistricting School Systems Can Increase Funding Fairness and Decrease Segregation
A new report and interactive data tool show how specific redistricting choices can create fairer school systems for our children.
I'm very proud to share a new, first-of-its-kind analysis and data tool from my team at @educationwork.newamerica.org.
Redrawing the Lines is a first-ever look at how, if states draw school district borders with equity as the goal, they can HUGELY reduce funding inequality and segregation. #edusky

Her wrong interpretation of NAEP scores as a journalist, does not disprove the research done for decades showing Whole Language does not work.

So you admit that there is a mountain of research against you. But you slander my paper without reading it. What an open minded and nuanced position.

You cited a blog and a newspaper article. The England study is not an RCT or a meta. Itβs correlational, not causative data. Scientific studies have consistently shown the same thing for decades. (NRP, 2000); (Camilli, 2003); (Steubings, 2008); (Torgerson; 2019). All found SP outperformed WL.

The reading wars debate is not over whether we have a reading crisis, itβs on WL or SP. If you say there is no science of reading, the logical conclusion is that you believe WL is superior to SP.

Science is a hoax? Are you suggesting that the decades of reading research suggesting systematic phonics is superior to whole language was all faked? You must have some really impressive citations to back this up?
