#74 Getting Dyslexia research accessible to teachers and parents. Prof Sara Shunkwiler

As a trainer of teachers who train other teachers, Sara Shunkwiler, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Education and tutor of dyslexia, finds it hard to access research about dyslexia and related subjects. Even with the professor's ID, she still gets blocked on a lot of research papers in the library. Research papers that could’ve helped teachers improve teaching non-linear thinking students. That is why she made it her goal to look for research papers, distill it down and share it in digestible chunks to make it accessible to fellow teachers and parents. Listen to the rest of the podcast episode to know more about the language of mathematics, how the school districts and the law is resisting dyslexia diagnosis, distance learning, and the COVID-slide.  Links you might want to check:  Sara website with more resources coming soon: https://empoweringlearningsolutions.com/  Number Sense and Number Nonsense: Understanding the Challenges of Learning Math: https://www.amazon.com/dp/159857020X  Marburn Academy, private school for students with dyslexia in Columbus, Ohio, but a great resource for parents everywhere: https://marburnacademy.org/  Math Giraffe - Doodle Notes: visual notes for teaching math with creativity - My students love Doodle Notes, because they allow students to make connections between concepts and access their creativity.  Also for homeschoolers, because there are answer keys and Brigid Danziger, the author, is extremely helpful. https://www.mathgiraffe.com/  Bulletmap Academy Page: https://bulletmapacademy.com BulletMap Academy Workshop: https://bulletmapacademy.com/workshop/  BulletMap Academy Blogs: https://bulletmapacademy.com/blogs/  Enroll in BulletMap Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.com/sales-page/#price  Show notes: https://bulletmapacademy.com/74/
