As NAEP scores continue to show that the majority of U.S. students are not reading at grade level, literacy remains, perhaps, the most urgent challenge facing districts today. “That’s not a literacy problem. That’s a graduation problem, an economic problem, a national security problem…those are the costs,” stated Karl Rectanus, CEO of Really Great Reading and one of the presenters on the edLeader Panel, “The Cost of Getting Literacy Wrong: Long-Term Decisions, Lasting Consequences.”
Presented by Dr. Charles Hulme, Emeritus Professor of Psychology in Education, University of Oxford, and Founder and CEO, OxEd & Assessment; Emily Rennpage, Literacy COSA (Coach on Special Assignment), Grosse Pointe Public Schools (MI); and Karl Rectanus, CEO, Really Great Reading
Moderated by Dr. Donna Wright, Retired School Superintendent/Education Consultant
In this edWebinar, Mary-Margaret Gardiner and Mamie Morrow, CLASS Specialists for Teachstone, provide concrete examples and strategies for how teachers can provide children with the kinds of experiences.
