    Episode 014 pt.2 - Literacy Now - Tracy White Weeden
    Oct 4 2024

    Summary

    We are so excited to welcome Dr. Tracy White Weeden to our podcast! Tracy is the President and CEO of Neuhaus Education Center, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote reading success by providing evidence-based professional development to educators, information and resources to families, and direct services to adult learners. Tracy begins with her family history and professional journey. That journey included being 'sold a story' before finding the science of reading. She explains that we are now in a defining moment for a literacy crusade, that we can and should be the lighthouse for change because literacy is the currency of the 21st century and a human right. To parents, Tracy advises everyone to find those in your realm of influence, prep the system for change and lead from the middle. We all need to "dare greatly, lead valiantly, influence bravely and be the butterfly effect... for our children".

    Episode 013 - Literacy Now - Kait Feriante
    Sep 5 2024
    Summary ​We are excited to bring you this fascinating conversation with Kait Feriante. Kait is the co-founder of Redwood Schools (Chicago), which include two full-day K-8 schools for students with dyslexia, and a program for young adults who are court-involved who struggle with reading and writing. Kait is also a former Chicago Public Schools teacher and parent of a child with dyslexia. Kait shares with us her perspective gained through all of these roles. Listen in as we delve into topics including the lack of preparation for reading instruction by colleges of education, collaborating with your child's school team and advocating for their educational needs, data collection, and assistive technology. Kait also talks about the work of the Redwood Schools and the success of their programs, as well as the success of the Lawndale program despite incredible odds. Don't miss this important conversation!
