Ep. 35: Reading assessments NEED an upgrade‪!‬ Melissa & Lori Love Literacy ™

Jared Myracle shares the process and focus on curriculum adoption and implementation during his time as CAO of Jackson-Madison County Schools, where he learned that "people want better, but they don't like different." He unpacks his latest post, Reading Assessments Need an Upgrade, to dissect how and why curriculum should drive assessment (not vice versa), what we can all learn from LA DOE, and the power of 'warm' reads. And, be sure to listen for his advice about virtual learning as students return, or transition to, instruction this fall. Jared is currently consulting on high-quality curriculum implementation.
