. @natwexler highlights a critical issue for T& #39;s in the last 20 yrs... a migration towards crummy reading-passages-with-comprehension-Q& #39;s in ELA, an unintended consequence of high-stakes testing.
Also, how schools are bringing in better ELA practice!

It features STELLAR educators. I got to visit @Deloris83818301& #39;s classroom during the #KnowledgeMatters School Tour, a chance to see knowledge-building curriculum in action.
It was awesome.

The unfortunate #edreform legacy left @Deloris83818301 hesitant about the & #39;latest initiative& #39; when she was asked to change curriculum by @jill_ramsey10.
She also wasn& #39;t sure if Ss would be up to the challenge.
You really need to read the piece to see why she came around.

"Abby had a reading disability, but @Deloris83818301 had seen her confidence grow over the course of the school year. She often contributed some of the most insightful comments during class discussions..."

"While she still had some trouble sounding out words, her score on a reading-comprehension test had zoomed from the 10th percentile at the beginning of the school year to just below average by mid-December."
LOVE, love, love.

Kudos @natwexler for capturing so many key angles of this story!
Especially: We don& #39;t talk enough about the love of reading that comes as schools change practice. I need to remind myself to of this more.
