Season #4: Episode 5 - Too Big to Fail
from The Epiphany Exchange Podcast · host Donyall D. Dickey, Ed.D.
Public education in the U.S. serves 50 million students—it’s too big to fail. In Season 4, Episode 5, The Epiphany Exchange spotlights Donyall D. Dickey, Ed.D.'s brand‑new book, “The Universal Language of Literacy: A Manifesto for Transforming America’s Schools,” and shares lessons learned from classrooms across the country. We confront the literacy crisis head-on—clarifying the difference between reading and literacy, why 65–70% of students remain below grade level, and how cross-content calibration drives significant, sustainable gains. Join Donyall D. Dickey, Ed.D., and his co-hosts for an exciting and informed discussion on universal literacy concepts (textual evidence, central idea vs. theme, inference, summary), actionable protocols, and real classroom experiences from Brooklyn to California.
