The most important repost of @DanaGoldstein’s piece that you’ll see.

It’s from @TNedu Commissioner. She has led the effort to get high-quality ELA curriculum in nearly every districts, and her schools are reaping the benefit.

“I appreciate the changes, but go all the way.”
Folks, we have a tie.

From the head of @NCTQ, and until recently, a leader in @MASchoolsK12:

💯
I’m here for these calls for curriculum improvement from state leaders, especially the ones who have taken clear, strong action to get their districts to stop using Balanced Literacy curricula and start using high-quality curriculum.

True of @SchwinnTeach and @HeatherPeske.

First, a fun fact:

Massachusetts is the only state to publish info on the curriculum used in each district. Find it here: google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…

HT @MASchoolsK12. 👏

It’s such valuable info that you’d think every state would do this! The other 49 do not. Image
I spent time with the map, which shows the curricula used in 177 of 404 districts in MA. So, it’s a partial sample.

I found 55 districts that use Reading Workshop / Units of Study, including “top” districts like Brookline.
