Fact checking @DanaGoldstein phonics article @nytimes - a thread

Opening misrepresents word pronunciation, and effective phonics instruction; mischaracterizes/oversimplifies current state of teaching reading

This article again fails checklist radicalscholarship.wordpress.com/2019/06/10/che…

@DanaGoldstein @nytimes "Lagging" paragraph hyperlinks to Hanford as "research"; Hanford isn't a literacy scholar and nothing about her reporting is new.

The field of literacy/reading has a long history and a complex research base that is only a surprise to people who aren't in the field

@DanaGoldstein @nytimes One again, pro-phonics reporting *misrepresents* balanced literacy in order to refute it \/

This is not a credible definition of BL

Thread on education as a profession of women:

I presented at two conferences in the last two weeks

@SCCTE1 and @WSRAliteracy

1/x
@SCCTE1 @WSRAliteracy I found myself the only man at a presentation by @SCforEd @SCCTE1 and the only man on a panel @WSRAliteracy

2/x
@SCCTE1 @WSRAliteracy @SCforEd A key aspect of the larger education reform movement started in the 1980s and the current "science of reading" movement that isn't addressed as directly as it should be is that teachers are overwhelmingly women; edu legislation often negates professional autonomy for teachers 3/x

Dear Mainstream Media/ Education Journalism:

@EdWriters @educationweek @insidehighered @nytimes @TheAtlantic @NPR @NewsHour

Have you learned nothing with your failed *uncritical* relationships with education organizations/movements?

TFA, charter schools, VAM, Common Core 1/x
@EdWriters @educationweek @insidehighered @nytimes @TheAtlantic @NPR @NewsHour You continue your relationship with NCTQ, but refuse to acknowledge this is a dysfunctional relationship. Let me help.

First, no media should cover NCTQ reports *at all.* They are not credible or valid reports or research.

How often have you also covered reviews of NCTQ? 2/x

"proposals to measure, recognize and reward differences in teacher quality and utilize these in employment and promotion decisions are neither new nor unique." 3/x

This is going to be a thread. A long thread. I need to process out a whole bunch of things that happened today.

Topics: #science #highered #gened #nonmajors #ungrading #reflections #noexams #OpenPedagogy #OER #oep #AcademicTwitter
So context: I teach non-majors. I have done this exclusively for 12 years. For many science faculty, this is the worst thing ever - and when I started I wasn't too thrilled - but over the years I've come to embrace it and *LOVE* it.
Stus often come into my classes with high science anxiety. They either have had bad experiences with science teachers, or they think they can't learn science because they were never really taught it in a way that makes sense to them. The hardcore focus on facts drives them away

1. En recientes declaraciones la Vicepresidenta, Lucía Topolansky, declaró que “atacan a Bonomi porque es el mejor ministro desde la vuelta de la democracia”. Léase, es un activo valioso del gobierno, por eso la oposición le pega.

2. En esa línea el 09-04-2018 Vázquez dice (2m,5s): “Es como lo dijo el ministro. Si este problema se arreglara cambiando un ministro… Hay que tener poca visión estratégica y de profundidad del tema como para pedir, como si fuera una solución del tema, que se saque al ministro”.
3. Aquí el acceso a las palabras del Presidente.
