You are an ambitious, cutting-edge teacher but...
-
You sense in your teaching 'gut' that your Tier 1 isn't working as well as it could.
-
You're tired of kiddos spending SO much time in centers. The focus on centers seems like a waste.
-
You're not getting the literacy success "return on your prep investment".
-
You're watching kids dork around at centers, despite your CLEAR classroom management and pre-teaching efforts.
-
You are overwhelmed with increased classroom behaviors.
-
After all of your Science of Reading courses you still have questions about what your classroom instruction should look like.
-
You want to dump workshop for whole class or whole group instruction, but you need a strong Tier 1 lesson plan.
-
You are discouraged with the number of kids NOT reading on-grade level.
-
You've thrown everything and the kitchen sink at improving students' literacy scores and not gotten a boost in results.
-
Your district has JUST purchased a new curriculum and you're thinking about throwing it in the closet.
-
SoR social media information is SO confusing and conflicting. You don't know who to believe or what to do next.
-
You want a CLEAR, DOABLE Tier 1 system that other teachers across the nation are using to get results.
I know you are a deeply committed practitioner.
-
You know all kiddos deserve the right to read and write.
-
You wake up early and stay up late stressing about how to get each kiddo reading and writing on-grade level.
-
You read, listen to podcasts, and scour social media to stay as up-to-date as possible.
-
You constantly reshape and improve your practices.
-
You believe that no amount of Tiers 2 and 3 can overcome the HUGE number of students going to intervention.
-
You are itching to hit the refresh on your Tier 1 plan.
-
You're READY to transform your Tier 1 block.
You know there are other places (e.g. Mississippi)
creating strong readers and confident teachers;
you want in on it.
The Tier 1 block is meant to be easy peasy for all good humans so that educators can focus on teaching diagnostically and in a highly flexible, differentiated manner. Cumulative, sustained, daily, predictable, research-grounded experiences drive literacy success and human confidence.
When subscribing to Educate's Tier 1 system, teachers and students get a specific Tier 1 grade level framework to help get everyone on the same page. With the framework, KIDDOS expect and know what to do. TEACHERS expect and know what to do. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.'
Efforts have been made, but it's still not working.
-
You've WORKED all hours of the day and night prepping for instruction and stressing about kiddos.
-
You’ve TRIED the new curriculum.
-
You’ve SAT in training after training.
-
You’ve ANALYZED data (ad nauseam) during learning communities.
-
You’ve IMPLEMENTED new Science of Reading tips and tricks.
It's time to nail the Tier 1 block and teaching pizzazz.
-
No more PD that doesn't clearly demonstrate what Tier 1 teaching and learning should look, feel, and taste like.
-
No more PD that doesn't center the needs of the teacher and the important classroom work that EDUCATORS do every single day.
-
No more PD that doesn't speak to the entire enchilada of how to build students' speaking, listening, reading, writing, and thinking skills.
-
No more PD that doesn't understand nor support the complexities of teaching (classroom management, relationships, engagement). .
-
No more circular 'try it and dump it' trend in education. Chasing the next 'best' thing.
-
No more confusion around structuring your Tier 1 block.
-
No more lip-service on belonging and equity.
Literacy is liberty and requires doing something about strong Tier 1 for all. You and the kiddos you serve deserve Tier 1 clarity.
