Episode 72

I was offended by your attorney guest’s dismissive view of Mississippi’s hard work to improve: “They couldn’t get any lower.”

That guest also said that NY should have been on top re: NAEP (paraphrase), but didn’t give a reason. Is that an elitist view? Also, in the (former) home of TCRWP, they would expect high performance?

NewMama07 ,

Great info!

I loved listening to Episode 75 with Anna Geiger. I took notes on it - loved hearing the variety of perspectives and an overview/quick summary of what’s in and what’s out with ELA practices! Thank you!

A Podcast to Recommend!

This is a podcast that I have shared and recommend! Faith and Judy do a great job! These ladies care about kids and educators! They are both in the field. They will share about past practices they have used that they no longer implement. Can’t many of us relate to that? They have a variety of guests and bring researchers on the podcast too! There are lots of literacy podcasts out there. This has become a favorite! Please keep the episodes coming, girls!
