Louise Selby is an award-winning dyslexia educator and author of several books:
Today we will talk about-
All About Dyslexia: Practical Guides for Teachers

This book is an essential toolkit for parents, as well as primary and secondary educators.

Why I love Louise Selby's book:

The book is graphically pleasing with cartoon illustrations, bullet-pointed lists, charts, graphs, and provides EVIDENCE-BASED, PRACTICAL STRATEGIES for busy teachers.

Many of the ideas are prep-free, and Selby recommends trying one new strategy at a time. The strategies are beneficial for ALL students.

Joy Palmer is a self-taught, savvy, observant, informed, and connected parent who crusaded for the Columbus, Ohio, schools to teach her daughter to read. Why?
She knew her daughter was capable of learning to read.

Joy Palmer's story was featured in the New York Times article,

Joy Palmer Quotes:

• "I will NOT sit back and watch my child fail."
• "Short-term fixes do not help."

• "A zip code determines what children receive in schools."
• "We have a lot of people in high places who make decisions for us but are not personally affected by our issues."

• "Parents put everything in writing when communicating with the school. Make sure you date the message and create a timeline."
• "Parents- join literacy Facebook groups to educate yourselves about your child's rights.
•  Networking is HUGE. 
• Join dyslexia support groups in your state or community."

• "Money determines what happens in education."

• "Definitely do not feel like you are by yourself."

Check out Parents For Reading Justice!

Joy Palmer needs a NATIONAL platform. She has much to teach our government leaders, parents, taxpayers, and educators, about LITERACY EQUALITY.

There is not a single mention of education in the U.S. Constitution. The United States Constitution DOES NOT GUARANTEE LITERACY.

"It's important to continue fighting for education to be protected under the Constitution by litigating this issue. This can create a direct path for the Supreme Court to establish a fundamental right to education and offer an opportunity to create consistency in the United States in the quality of education." Anna Nornes 

DR. NWOYE STATES:

"YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE MORALITY."
"ADMINISTRATORS AND SCHOOL LEADERS SHOULD KNOW THE SCIENCE OF READING."
"THE SCIENCE NEEDS TO BE EMBRACED."
"EDUCATION IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR DEMOCRACY."

Dr. Nwoye is the author of Cultivating a Belief System for Peace, Equity, and Social Justice for All.

Dr. Nwoye is the Institutional & Corporate Diversity Leader and Trainer at SYSTEMIC DIVERSITY and INCLUSION GROUP, comprised of members from nations around the world.

Caitlin Condie


Caitlin Condie's experience includes working as a classroom teacher, U.S. Department of Education staffer, innovation team leader at the Center for Education Reform, and current CEO of Condie Consulting.

Caitlin joins Reading Swizzle to answer the questions:

• What is possible for education?

• What is achievable?

• What types of robust opportunities for students can change learning?

Caitlin answers these questions by tackling issues that are real and futuristic.

Education can occur in a brick-and-mortar school AND out in the world.

We discuss:

• Igniting interest in learning just as camp and out-of-school moments do. These are educational opportunities!

• Incorporating elements of camp (campifying) education into a regular school day

• Providing real-world practical application to classroom learning

• Weaving community service schools' mission

• Forming education meet-ups; roundtable discussions promoting idea exchange, synergy, and networking.

Caitlin Condie shares her challenge with dyslexia. She states, “ Everyone has challenges. Dyslexia has been influential in helping me see things in different ways. No one is escaping the challenge, the struggle.”

Caitlin says, “Everyone will learn differently. Too many kids are considered broken, and we must change."

Founder of Condie Consulting, Caitlin is focused on helping America's students, families, schools, and communities achieve their highest level by developing, strategizing, and executing solutions to their problems and challenges.

Do our teacher training colleges and universities do a good job of training teachers?

“The education our teachers receive today is determined more by ideology and personal predilection than the needs of our children.”
Arthur Levine – former president of Teacher’s College- Columbia University

Hirsch:
“Because of our educational romanticism, many young students still struggle to decode print- A MORAL AND EDUCATIONAL SCANDAL.
Teacher training is more like theological seminaries than training institutes such as nursing or medical school."
