De Facto Leaders: The Science of Reading with Brett Stevens

/ 01:03:03/S8 E11
In this episode, we’re bringing you a conversation from De Facto Leaders, part of the Be Podcast Network. De Facto Leaders is hosted by Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan, a professional development and product specialist, and speech-language pathologist. She has a Doctorate in Special Education and Director of Special Education credential.  Karen speaks with Brett Stevens, a special education consultant and host of the Science of Special Education podcast.  There are a lot of approaches to teaching kids to read; but not all of them are effective. This is especially important for kids with disabilities who need explicit instruction. With that in mind, this conversation covers:  What exactly is the Science of Reading and why is it so important for school leaders to know about it? The components of Scarborough’s reading rope and why they’re necessary for kids to read successfully. The different approaches to teaching reading, and the problems with some of the existing curriculums (and which ones are most effective). How to work together as a team to support literacy: both the IEP team as well as supporting parents.
