#92 The Real Work of Teaching Literacy with Evan and Laura Robb pt.2

Hello everyone! In a world where too many educators want the short and easy answers to literacy education, Evan and Laura Robb are here to help us see the value and purpose for putting in the real work and time it takes to learn our craft, and support kids the way they need to be supported. I couldn't be more excited for part two of this conversation! In part two, we discuss where public education is going wrong in how we judge quality literacy teaching, why teachers should be learners along side their students, and how modeling from coaches and leaders is powerful for both the teachers and students to see. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the most important episodes Teach Me, Teacher has to offer. Do not miss it. Enjoy! Don't forget to subscribe and review the show on iTunes!  If you enjoyed this conversation, I highly recommend my discussion with Dr. Mary Howard (who we mention in this episode.)   About the guests: EVAN ROBB AUTHOR, PRINCIPAL, & SPEAKER I am a middle school principal in Clarke County, Virginia.
