“He keeps citing places like Louisiana and Mississippi, I think some of the worst schools in the entire nation. If that’s where he wants to drive us to, I think voters should be aware of that.” @RepSherrill, in the NJ gubernatorial debate with Jack Ciattarelli. Who wants to tell her?

“My newcomer, who started the year with minimal English, grew 419%… at the very same time, my highest readers grew 338% and 286%. That never happened before.” Listen to teachers talk about the first year with a strong curriculum. Listen until the end, the teacher in tears.

“It’s not just a knowledge-rich curriculum. It’s a knowledge-rich curriculum that is carefully sequenced. The ideal is that when we put a text in front of a child for the child to read, they have all the background knowledge in place to read the text and comprehend that text comfortably, but maybe not quite everything, so they have to reach just a little bit.” Daniel Willingham explains the importance of coherent learning in the curriculum, in order to support reading comprehension and enable new learning. As soon as you understand this principle, you become a curriculum person. This kind of coherence is only possible if there is central planning in a school’s curriculum. If every teacher is left to his or her own devices in developing curriculum, you can have every teacher introducing the same content, and a failure to expose kids to maximal breadth and depth of content in K-5. Core learning about the world (seasons and animal adaptations, history fundamentals, civics basics) are foundations, too… foundations for comprehension and foundations for more sophisticated learning. From the a discussion of NAEP outcomes hosted by JHU Education Policy:

If you live in any state other than Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama, I’d like a word.

Initially, Kyair had doubts that Baltimore kids could work with the challenging, grade level texts in high-quality, knowledge-building curricula. I love his authenticity here. “Wow, Kyair, shame on you. What does that say about you?”
