[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Sorry can you explain what all this means? Especially tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3. Is Fundations and Wilson structured literacy? I have a kindergartener at ATS so we have very little experience with the school system. We picked ATS because my coworker kept raving about it so I figured why not tour it. I did, liked it, applied and DD got in. Definitely have no idea who Calkins was before this week lol though now I’m glad we are in a school that doesn’t use it.[/quote]

Google “apsva ATSS”

Google “Fundations” “Wilson reading”

Do your own research.[/quote]

Yeah. Pp you’re basically asking someone to distill for you the science of reading and all the approaches and the merits and downsides of each. People get actual degrees and do research in this. Nobody is going to break it down in one message board comment for you and tbh, if you don’t know what any of this means, you’re not really in a position to be advocating for schools to take any certain approach. It’s just not your lane. [/quote]

Don’t pay attention to these nasty teachers. If you read The Knowledge Gap, you’ll understand that teachers don’t understand the science of reading at all. They make up theories and go with them. The Cognitive Scientists have actually broken down how to teach different subjects in the best way, yet most teachers are completely unaware.

I don’t completely blame the teachers though. Schools of Education (even in top universities!) teach the teachers faulty theory and methods, so they don’t stand a chance.

People in other developed nations are totally confused with our education system. [/quote]

What awful advice.  The Knowledge Gap was written by a writer, for a popular audience, with the goal of selling books.  If you really want to understand cognitive science then read articles written by scientists and people with PhDs. Not books on amazon, but peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals.

But of course, you won't understand them. [/quote]
