My Journey from a Balanced Literacy Teacher to a Science of Reading Perspective

It was an absolute honour to engage in a conversation with Nate about his Life Chapter, My Journey from Balanced Literacy to a Science of Reading Perspective. In this conversation, Nate generously shares the following:  - his love for scientific research, making sense of it, and how this has assisted him in various areas of his life (fitness and teaching)  - what he was taught at university when he studied to become a teacher and various incidences during this time that encouraged Nate to question the content - his shift in teaching practices from Balanced Literacy to the Science of Reading - we unpack certain myths and the science supporting how reading should be taught  - his engagement in authoring multiple blog post articles and a newly published book, The Scientific Principles of Teaching   Nate's articles can be accessed here - https://www.pedagogynongrata.com/   The Scientific Principles of Teaching can be purchased on https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09QF2JNC6/ref=sr_1_2?crid=27088PCO8FT9G&keywords=the+scientific+principles+of+teaching&qid=1642253819&sprefix=the+scientific+principles+of+teaching%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-2   An enormous thanks to Nate for taking the time to engage in this robust conversation and to everyone else that will watch/listen to it on Human Chapters YouTube, Podcast, and/or Facebook Page.
