In this podcast, we continue our series on building your implementation literacy by talking about the Science of Reading and bringing the research into the daily practice of schools.  To help continue to unpack this topic, our friends, Dr. Jill Dunlap Brown and Dr. Vicki Myers, will discuss moving from knowing what SOR is to getting it into practice.   

Vicki spent the first 24 years of her career as a special education teacher for struggling readers. She went on to serve in the special education division of a state department of education, followed by several years at a professional development center working to improve reading outcomes in schools in her state. She spent eight years as a Special Assistant in the Office of Special Education Programs at the U.S. Department of Education, followed by several years as the Senior Legislative and Outreach Liaison for Wilson Language Training.  After serving over 45 years across multiple levels of public education, Vicki says the ONE thing that haunts her and continues to drive her work is that she had NO idea how to teach a kid to read for the first 16 years of her career. 

Jill has worked in the field of education for more than 20 years. She has worked with students, teachers, administrators, universities, and state departments during these years. She has served as a teacher, literacy coach, principal, assistant superintendent, and educational consultant during her career. Currently, she serves as a Co-Founder of Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment and CALE Education & Company. Through this work, she assists schools with implementing structured literacy, building sustainable systems for RTI/MTSS, and facilitating curriculum development around state standards. Jill co-authored the book Matching Reading Data to Intervention: A simple tool for elementary educators. 

Jill holds a BA in Elementary Education, an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction, an EdS in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, and a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis. 

In this podcast, we continue our series on building your implementation literacy by talking about research to practice and the critical role equity plays in  implementation practice.   To help us continue to unpack this topic, we asked our friends at the Center for Implementation, Dr. Julia Moore and Dr. Sobia Khan to join us.  

Dr. Julia E. Moore is the Executive Director for The Center for Implementation and co-founder of the Behavior Elevation Academy. Dr. Moore has a PhD from Penn State in Human Development, where she was trained as an implementation scientist, researching the best ways to implement evidence-based programs. She has worked on over 100 implementation projects.  Dr. Moore is known internationally for her ability to communicate complex implementation science concepts in clear and practical ways. Dr. Moore developed the online mini-course, Inspiring Change: creating impact with evidence-based implementation, which has been completed by over 5000 professionals from around the world.

Dr. Sobia Khan, is the Director of Implementation at the Center for Implementation. Dr. Sobia Khan is a global expert on how to practically implement complex interventions in complex systems. For over 12 years, her passion for integrating implementation science, systems thinking, and complexity theory to achieve large-scale change has been illustrated through her work on multiple implementation projects in Canada, the U.S., Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Myanmar, and Kosovo. Recent highlights of Dr. Khan’s work include supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in their opioid response by embedding implementation science and systems thinking into their tools and approaches as well as being an implementation science collaborator with the WHO to support healthcare organizations by building a toolkit on infection prevention and control best practices for COVID-19.
