Learning about structured literacy for adolescents with @focusonliteracy - this feels so important I want to share #vted 🧵 There is a link between behavior issues and literacy, as Sherry Sousa says "better to be the bad kid than the kid that can't read"

I’ve been thinking a lot about @DrIbram’s words, spoken at UVM and written in #HowToBeAnAntiracist, and contemplating what it means for #vted schools and educators. Specifically, @DrIbram asks us to look at the outcome or impacts of policies, not their intent. Policies are racist if they have outcomes that disproportionately impact one group over another. Are #vted schools and educators looking for disproportionality in data?
