In this kickoff event for our newly formed Facebook group, Science of Reading For Advocates, Dr. Terrie Noland will share how advocates can:
- be leaders for their school, district, community, and everything in between,
- deal with being overwhelmed throughout the journey,
- have courage, fail forward, and build the muscle of advocating,
- connect and build a community of advocates in your community,
- and so much more
We hope you enjoy this event and join us for more in the future.
Our mission is to create a safe space where literacy advocates of all forms (whether parents, teachers, tutors, SLPs, coaches, admins, etc.) can grow together in their advocacy efforts around the science of reading and work collectively to implement real transformation in classrooms through grassroots efforts towards community building, professional development, and legislative efforts.
Dr. Terrie Noland shares that “courage is a muscle. The more you do something, the better you get. Courage inspires courage".
Dr. Louisa Moats states the body of work referred to as the “science of reading” is not an ideology, a philosophy, a political agenda, a one-size-fits-all approach, a program of instruction, or a specific component of instruction.
Dr. Mark Seidenberg defines the “Science of Reading” as a body of basic research in developmental psychology, educational psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience on reading, one of the most complex human behaviors, and its biological (neural, genetic) bases. This research has been conducted for decades in the US and around the world.
