"The Dyslexic Reading Teacher Sean Taylor"
Literacy for me was almost an unrealized unattainable dream! As a dyslexic learner I was unable to read, write, or decode words as a child, p,d,b and q were all the same letter. Many classroom teachers assumed I would never read or write due to the severity of my dyslexia and this made me feel worthless. I am a dyslexic reading teacher that has built a reputation for finding innovative ways "FREE" to teach reading to all students!
IT STARTS WITH ASKING CALIBRATED QUESTIONS THAT EXPOSE THE PERCEIVED PROBLEMS, THEY START WITH HOW OR WHAT QUESTIONS.
START WITH AN "AUDIT OF PROBLEMS AND ACCUSATIONS", STAY DETACHED FROM THE ACCUSATIONS.
NEVER TRY USING LOGIC WHEN EMOTIONS ARE HOT!
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PARENTS EMOTIONS AND USE "EMPATHY" TO BUILD A RAPPORT WITH HOW & WHAT QUESTIONS. HOW CAN I HELP YOU & YOUR CHILD?E BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE MOVING FORWARD TO INSURE SUCCESS?
Some schools are becoming more and more toxic as principals and school administrations opt-out of managing, communicating, and dealing with "problematic students and parents." Teachers are leaving the profession after years of little or no support, working in unhealthy hostile work environments. What is the solution when parents are angry, toxic, and or abusive? Some parents have every right to be upset in our over-tested, confusing, and ever-changing educational goals.
“He who has learned to disagree without being disagreeable has discovered the most valuable secret of negotiation.”... “Negotiate in their world. Persuasion is not about how bright or smooth or forceful you are. It’s about the other party convincing themselves that the solution you want is their own idea. So don’t beat them with logic or brute force. Ask them questions that open paths to your goals. It’s not about you.” - Chris Voss Retired FBI hostage Negotiator
First, don't panic and keep calm. Stay focused on the positive and set up a working relationship at the very beginning of the year. What are the issues being discussed throughout the year and what is the agreed agenda when parents have questions or a grievance? Everyone knows good communication and feedback is needed, listening is key for both parties. Parents may have zero interest in listening to anything you say if they are angry. Asking open-ended questions can get the conversation started and help cool things down. The FBI has a 95 percent success rate in terms of resolving a hostage crisis without fatalities using open-ended questions.But what happens when parents go negative and start attacking your ideas, teaching methods, curriculum, classroom management, and or grading, your first instinct is to go on the defensive. If you cannot get the conversation back on track quickly with redirecting questions and the Golden rule, you need to stop the conversation politely and set up a new time. If your principal is "BUSY" find a colleague to attend the new meeting and have a prepared agenda. Teachers should never continue a conversation when there is verbal abuse or personal attacks. Do not take verbal abuse, remove yourself from the raw emotions and seek a colleague to talk with and decompress. Teachers don't always act like their time is valuable but it is very valuable.
Start with open-ended questions, keep questions slanted to the positive and directed to solutions
Listen to understand their perspectives, even more so when you disagree with their point of view
Plan out an agenda whenever possible with clear guidelines
Document and record critical ideas, focus on decisions being made not on the decision makers!
Improve Your Meetings With Parents Using an Effective Agenda!
Questions to ask your parents before a meeting:
This only works with reasonable parents!
What are your questions, concerns, ...? Create goals and objectives for your agenda based on those concerns.
What are your priorities...? Break down the key priorities into key points and who is making decisions based on those priorities.
What has worked in the past...? Use the agenda to explore solutions and strategies.

One of the oldest Pedagogical Theories in use today is the Praxis Process! The Praxis Process is a Socratic or revisionist-reflective process by which a theory, idea, hypothesis, lesson, are turned into an actionable skill by developing heuristics strategies (logical rules of thumb). Going from theoria (thinking), poiesis (making), and praxis (doing) or eupraxia ("doing good works," "creating good fortune"). Adopting a new pedagogical theory is easy and "common", yet analyzing it, reflecting on it, revising it, and discarding it when needed, that is the part most schools and teachers fail at.
"There is no such thing as a neutral education process. Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the 'practice of freedom', the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." — Richard Shaull, drawing on Paulo Freire
Superlative Eupraxia starts with a transformational theory, (being oppressed, enslaved, and ignorant, to becoming free and enlightened requires and erudite education). Eupraxia is enacted, embodied, and or realized in positive transformational action that must be reflected on and revised. "Eupraxia" often refers to the actions, practices, exercises, and applications a teacher and student collaborate on that are transformational. John Dewey believed that students learn best through a 'hands-on' approach. We as educators sometimes skip or underestimate the time needed in the poiesis or the making of knowledge. We also are not skeptical enough when new pedagogical theories are thrust upon us by people like Bill Gates. The Common Core Mess that never went through the Praxis Proces. Today we are plagued with dyspraxia ("bad praxis, pedagogical misfortune")
Praxis (from Ancient Greek: πρᾶξις, translit. praxis) is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas. This has been a recurrent topic in the field of philosophy, discussed in the writings of Plato Aristotle.
Praxis may be described as a form of critical thinking and comprises the combination of reflection and action. Praxis can be viewed as a progression of cognitive and physical actions:
Taking the action
Considering the impacts of the action
Analysing the results of the action by reflecting upon it
Altering and revising conceptions and planning following reflection
Implementing these plans in further actions
This creates a cycle which can be viewed in terms of educational settings, learners and educational facilitators.
Setting daily Micro Goals with your students jump starts their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and self-confidence! Setting daily Micro Goals with students builds Self-Esteem, Perseverance, Grit, Resilience, and a renewed love of learning in students that may have lost interest in school. Setting daily Micro Goals shows students their accomplishments and achievements, students will take real ownership of their learning. Students see that they are truly capable and start setting bigger and more demanding Macro Goals. Building on real accomplishments and measurable results give students a stratagem and path to further academic success.
The best way to create sustained academic success, is to experience real academic success. Students that develop the habit of setting and meeting daily Micro Goals thrive in the positive feedback loop that is created. That feedback loop positively impacts a students desire, commitment, perseverance, resilience, and mindsets about school and academics.
Micro Goals are about doing things in the NOW!
Academic decisions, goals, and actions or inaction's are based on academic attitudes and positive or negative academic habits. Micro goal setting circumvents unproductive intuitive responses, bias assessments of one's own ability, poor self-concept, flawed heuristics, and stinky thinking. Setting Micro Goals with your students is a Praxis (process)!
Why set Micro Goals with students?
Macro goals can only be met with micro goals
Micro goals when met show a measure of achievement
Meeting micro goals "small success" leads to big wins and bigger goals
Micro goals build a bridge between commitment and follow through
Micro goals help keep you focused
Micro goals that are met give you a sense of accomplishments
Micro-goals usually take 1-20 minutes to complete. Everyone can focus on a task for one-twenty minutes.

There was a study done at Harvard between 1979 and 1989. Graduates of the MBA program were asked “Have you set clear written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?”
The results of that question were:
• Only 3% had written goals and plans
• 13% had goals but not in writing
• 84% had no specific goals at all Ten years later
Harvard interviewed the members of that class again and found:
1. The 13% who had goals but not in writing were earning on average twice as much as the 84% of those who had no goals at all
2. The 3% who had clear, written goals were earning on average 10 times as much as the other 97% of graduates all together. The only difference between the groups is the clarity of the goals they had for themselves. http://www.peer.ca/Singles/MM255.pdf
Heuristic mathematics models, process, and methods, heuristic math techniques and strategies, or simply heuristics, are cognitive problem-solving strategies that become intuitive with repeated exposure. The problem-solving strategies "intuitive shortcuts" are formed in the students' mind after repeated rehearsal, practice and exposure to multi-step or complex math problems. Heuristics develop into the rules of thumb, today they incorporate 13 problem-solving models designed to help students make sense of difficult math problems. The 13 heuristics are grouped into 4 categories: “representation heuristics”, “simplification heuristics”, “pathway heuristics”, and “generic heuristics”. Together they form a model of problem-solving strategies in mathematics. 21st Century Competencies & Singapore Mathematics Curriculum
The 13 heuristic math problem solving strategies:
1. Act it out 2. Use a diagram/model 3. Use guess-and-check 4. Make a systematic list 5. Look for patterns 6. Work backwards 7. Use before-after concept 8. Make suppositions 9. Restate the problem in another way 10. Simplify the problem 11. Solve part of the problem 12. Think of a related problem 13. Use equations

Reciprocal teaching breaks reading compression down into 4 main parts: Questioning, Clarifying, Summarizing, and Predicting.
Reciprocal teaching is a collaborative peer teaching peer leaning structure. The cooperative learning structure is similar to a Kagan jigsaw where students are assigned a clearly defined learning task. Small groups are assigned a close reading task. Students first examine and analyze a text using targeted close reading strategies. The strategies and the individual close reading task can include: illustrating ideas, summarizing details, questioning, making connections, clarifying terms and concepts, drawing conclusions, making an inference, and or predicting. The students learn to close read complex text with the strategic goal of teaching others their part of the jigsaw, they learn to guide group discussions to help all participants engage with the text at the deepest levels.

Reading comprehension is the essence and purpose of reading.
The Reading Sage philosophy is to make reading the top priority and goal. Replace basic/BASIL readers, workbooks, and worksheets with high-quality, engaging texts. Have students read real stories, books, fairytales, fables, poems, songs, choose-your-own-adventures, and one-page passages covering diverse topics from art to zoology. Make vocabulary building interactive, vigorous, and multimodal. Gamify academic word practice to motivate.
Struggling readers often have a vocabulary gap of 5,000-20,000 words. Expose them to a wide breadth of vocabulary by reading varied, rich texts. Don't give up on teaching complex texts - provide scaffolding and support. Nurture a passion for reading and thirst for knowledge.
Reading should be enlightening and pleasurable. Equip students with comprehension strategies like visualizing, questioning, and summarizing. Assess understanding through discussion and authentic tasks, not just testing. Foster intrinsic motivation by providing choice and time for independent reading.
The goal is to stretch abilities, build knowledge, and develop lifelong, skilled, engaged readers. Comprehension opens doors to new worlds and possibilities.
Here are a few key points on improving reading comprehension:
- Focus on exposing students to a wide variety of high-quality, engaging texts across different genres, topics, and difficulty levels. This builds background knowledge, vocabulary, and interest.
- Teach and model active reading strategies like visualizing, making inferences, asking questions, summarizing, etc. Make sure students are actively thinking about the text as they read.
- Build vocabulary and conceptual knowledge. Students need robust academic language and background knowledge to understand complex texts. Study word roots, prefixes, suffixes, idioms, etc.
- Let students choose books aligned to their interests to promote intrinsic motivation and engagement. Provide time for independent reading practice.
- Assess comprehension in authentic, meaningful ways. Gauge understanding through discussion, projects, writing tasks, etc. beyond just testing.
- For struggling readers, provide scaffolding, targeted interventions, and accommodations as needed. Don't just give up on teaching them complex texts. Stretch their abilities.
- Make it enjoyable! Reading should be a pleasurable, enlightening experience. Foster a love of reading and thirst for knowledge.
The key is exposing students to high-quality, diverse texts and equipping them with the strategies and skills to derive meaning, build knowledge, and develop a lifelong appreciation for reading. Comprehension opens doors to new worlds and possibilities.
When students are learning something new? Follow the 10/2/24/7+ Rule. Teach a concept, review it after ten minutes, again 2 hours later, then yet again 24 hours later, yep again 7 days later, and periodically review, summarize, and retest to cement the memories. I use this for all critical academic concepts and tier 2 and tier 3 academic vocabulary!
