From Research to Room — Making the Science of Reading Work in Your Secondary Classroom
You already know that reading and writing matter more than almost anything else you teach. What you may not know is that the research on how to teach them has never been stronger or more ignored.
Most of us left teacher preparation programs without ever reading Rosenshine, Moats, Catts, or Goldenberg. We learned by doing, borrowed strategies from colleagues, and figured it out one classroom at a time. That is not a failure of effort. It is a failure of access.
Over eight weeks, you will read the research that the field's most respected literacy scholars wish every teacher knew. Each week is built around a single, carefully chosen article — the kind that makes you stop, reread a paragraph, and think why didn't anyone tell me this before? You will bring your questions and reactions to a live chat session with a cohort of educators doing the same work, and you will leave each week with two CCSS-aligned graphic organizers you can use with students the very next day.
