Hint: It's NOT more bandaids, finger wagging, or pats on the back for our educators.
On the episode, we're joined by Michele Morenz, DPS Regional Literacy Specialist, to hear her brilliant insights as a former teacher, literacy interventionist, and now as someone who sees reading instruction daily in multiple schools across the district.
Listen to hear our solutions, because we figured it ALL out.
