The Cicero D99 Summer Literacy Symposium was absolutely worth the 2.5-hour drive this morning! A day full of knowledge, learning, and best practices to take back to our teams. Thanks to @benzulauf2 and the entire crew for hosting a fantastic event!

We also need to make sure our students are accessing their whole linguistic repertoire. That is a lot of word knowledge to work through!! ⁦@Amplify⁩ ⁦@D99Cicero⁩ #SOLin99

Whoa. So it’s a lot when you’re thinking about a linguistic repertoire that’s more than one language. So much more has to be automatic and explicitly taught…it’s a lot but the benefits are huge! #SOLin99 ⁦@D99Cicero⁩

Woah, @benzulauf2 does it again! Another D99 Cicero Literacy Symposium that simultaneously leaves me proud of the work we have done in @D99Cicero and ready to conquer the next chapter! Sherlock’s next move to systematize and align our fluency instruction loading….

So thrilled to be at the @D99Cicero Summer Literacy Symposium!

The scaffolds the teacher provides in the scaffold helps develop the linguistic complexity students need! #SOLin99 ⁦@SoniaCabell⁩ ⁦@D99Cicero⁩

Learning about oral language and content knowledge & the importance of vocabulary with @SoniaCabell in @D99Cicero . Thought of you @smorrisey

Thank you, @DTWillingham , for sharing the four laws of learning this morning! #SOLin99

@mcglynn3 @Standards_Work Thrilled to finally have someone from #knowledgematterscampaign in Cicero @D99Cicero

When information is meaningless, it doesn’t get remembered. Meaningful thinking about the information and content is critical. This is why conceptual fluency is so important—it makes those facts truly meaningful! #SOLinD99

So excited for the Cicero Leaders in Literacy Symposium! #SOLin99

We’re so excited to dive into evidence-based methods for literacy instruction, best practices, and the latest insights from the Science of Reading today at the Cicero Summer Literacy Symposium! #SOLin99 @D99Cicero @Amplify

@DTWillingham wanting to learn things doesn’t have much impact on if you actually learn them. #SOLin99

We’ll see you soon! @D99Cicero @Amplify @DTWillingham @SoniaCabell @mcglynn3

*NEW POST* - The Enduring Persistence of Neuromyths in Education. A new study surveying over 3,000 Spanish teachers provides one of the most detailed snapshots to date of educational misconceptions in the field. Link in reply ⬇️

New substack: What is the science of reading? And why the definition matters.... dtwuva.substack.com/p/what-is-the-…

Giggling at @burnsmk1's SSSR practitioner day slides... 🫢 Y'all, pls focus on isolation, blending, & segmenting.

Every few years we rediscover that learning is hard work and effortful in the short term. Then we spend the next few years trying to make it fun and effortless again.
