Emily’s Blog Series: Having the “Right” Conversations about Teaching Reading

Why the “reading wars” mindset fails our students and what we can do about it

Emily’s Writing

Check out Emily’s latest posts to the Authentic Education blog.

Let’s take the time to reflect on how to hold ourselves and our students capable through the ways we talk and think about our students.
Letting go of activities in the classroom to simplify your teaching life is hard and it’s essential for growth, making space for new things, & to avoid burnout.
Supporting exploration and knowledge building rather than rushing to adopt a new curriculum is leading to better results for students.
