    College Students Aren’t Reading with Donna Hejtmanek

    Article: “The College Kids Are Not All Right”

    Reports from professors point to an alarming decline in cognitive capabilities, even at selective institutions by Natalie Wexler

    June 2, 2024

    https://nataliewexler.substack.com/p/the-college-kids-are-not-all-right

    Quote:

    “Students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.”

    “We are in new territory when even highly motivated honors students struggle to grasp the basic argument of a 20-page article.”

    Why is this happening? What are the reasons for the decline?

    Donna Hejtmanek bio:

    Donna Hejtmanek (hite-man-ik) retired after 41 years of teaching special education and serving as a reading specialist-interventionist. She served as president of the Literacy Task Force of Northern Wisconsin, was appointed by Gov.

    The One About…

    Curriculum Implementation with Robert Pondiscio and Rivet Education



    Article: “Taking Curriculum Implementation Seriously”

    https://fordhaminstitute.org/national/commentary/taking-curriculum-implementation-seriously#





    Quote: “This involved multiple phases, which Rivet categorizes as ‘exploration; program installation; initial implementation; consistent implementation; and innovation and sustainability.’”



    Robert Pondiscio Bio:

    Robert Pondiscio is a senior visiting fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)



    He writes and speaks extensively on education and education-reform issues, with an emphasis on literacy, curriculum, civic education, and classroom practice. His 2019 book, How the Other Half Learns, based on a year of observations at New York City’s Success Academy network of charter schools, was praised as “morally disturbing” and “unsparingly honest” by the New York Times. After twenty years in journalism, including senior positions at TIME and Business Week, Robert became a fifth-grade teacher at a struggling South Bronx public school in 2002. He subsequently served as vice president for the Core Knowledge Foundation, taught civics at Democracy Prep Public Schools, a network of high-performing charter schools based in Harlem, New York, and was a Senior Fellow and Vice President for External Affairs here at Fordham.



    Robert’s articles and op-ed columns on education have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, the New York Daily News, Education Next, and dozens of other publications. A frequent speaker and expert guest on education issues, he has appeared on the Fox News Channel, CNN, and elsewhere.

    What happens when the “experts” get it wrong?

    Real Teacher, Harriett Janetos



    Quotes:

    “Full transparency from researcher to practitioner is too often lacking…”



    “Tasking teachers with evaluating expert advice and determining the “right” reasons to accept or reject it is a tall order.”



    Harriett’s blog:

    “Do Our Literacy Heroes Fail Us, Or Do We Fail Ourselves?”

    https://highfiveliteracy.com/2024/05/23/do-our-literacy-heroes-fail-us-or-do-we-fail-ourselves/





    Book Recommendation: From Sound to Summary: Braiding the Reading Rope to Make Words Make Sense available on Amazon.



    Harriett Janetos Bio:

    Over 35 years in education, Harriett has taught every grade level K-12: beginning reading to Advanced Placement English. After teaching high school English for 8 years, she took child-rearing leave and spent that time presenting as a teacher-consultant for the Bay Area Writing Project, getting her Master's in writinginstruction, and doing volunteer lessons in her children's elementary school classrooms. Following a move to the elementary school level where she taught kindergarten through fourth grade, she received a reading specialist credential and has worked as a reading specialist for the past 13 years, initially with grades 4th to 6th and then over the past eight years with grades first and second. This year she published an instructional guide to reading, From Sound to Summary: Braiding the Reading Rope to Make Words Make Sense.

    Program Review Protocols with Dr. Timothy Shanahan
    Timothy Shanahan’s latest blog on problems with textbook reviews got us talking!
    Shanahan took some time out of his busy schedule to join us on The Literacy View to
    discuss problems and his suggested solutions.
    Shanahan on Literacy Article:
    What About Textbook Reviews?
    https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/what-about-the-textbook-reviews
    Quote:
    Despite the rhetoric of these groups, the term “evidence aligned” is meaningless. Often
    there is no direct evidence that what is being required has ever benefited children’s
    learning in a research study.

    TIMOTHY SHANAHAN bio:
    Timothy Shanahan is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at
    Chicago where he was Founding Director of the UIC Center for Literacy. Previously, he
    was director of reading for the Chicago Public Schools. He is author/editor of more than
    200 publications on literacy education. His research emphasizes the connections
    between reading and writing, literacy in the disciplines, and improvement of reading
    achievement.
    Tim is past president of the International Literacy Association. He served as a member
    of the Advisory Board of the National Institute for Literacy under Presidents George W.
    Bush and Barack Obama, and he helped lead the National Reading Panel, convened at
    the request of Congress to evaluate research on the teaching reading, a major influence
    on reading education. He chaired two other federal research review panels: the National
    Literacy Panel for Language Minority Children and Youth, and the National Early
    Literacy Panel, and helped write the Common Core State Standards.
    He was inducted to the Reading Hall of Fame in 2007 and is a former first-grade
    teacher.
