Language is the medium of our classrooms, vital for learning. But how often do we explicitly plan the quality of this everpresent element? Despite huge focus on ELA blocks, reading scores often stagnate. Maybe the answer isn't just more ELA time? 🤔 #Literacy #EduChat

I am beyond excited about this upcoming School Tour visit - the Campaign's 50th!! So appropriate that it would be to a district using BOTH knowledge-rich ELA curricula AND a first-rate elementary social studies curriculum! Knowledge Matters Campaign @HistoryMtrs knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/national-…

Just four of 20 HIGHLY engaged 4th grade students at in this LA Guidebooks lesson from a unit on the American Revolution. Wait, are we in ELA or Social studies?!? ⁦Knowledge Matters Campaign⁩

Couldn't agree more. This visit to see LDOE Bayou Bridges curriculum in action has already been amazing - and it's only Day 1. The word "coherence" keeps coming to mind. Kids are drawing connections across ELA and social studies content! Amplify Core Knowledge Foundation

Ok. This kids at Highland Elementary are totally stealing my heart!

“The difference is that our students now have something to think about,” observes ⁦Haley Holley⁩ The impact of a knowledge-rich curriculum on Ouachita Parish schools. ⁦History Matters⁩

🎯 "The best way to present an abstract idea to kids is to hook them on a story." (Natalie Wexler) High quality social studies instruction hits all the complex literacy standards!

"Social studies - it's just fun... we always do these things where we write about it and I think those are pretty cool and fun." Why? "Because we learn more about different people...and we can write about a few characters." My heart!!! #HistoryMatters

We couldn't have picked a better district to celebrate 50 Knowledge Matters Campaign School Tour visits. In ELA, social studies, and science, Ouachita Parish is using HQIM. These guys TOTALLY get knowledge building, and their kids are thriving!

Heard great things about Reid Smith presentation at #TRLSummit2025. Exciting to hear about such a positive reception for the research findings he shared. History Matters Knowledge Matters Campaign

Rightfully proud mama of fifth grade Avery who, with her classmates, provided expert testimony on “How did our country meet the challenges of a changing by nation?”

Love this piece by the always brilliant Andy Smarick. educationnext.org/the-surprising…

Teachers and parents should take 10 minutes to read this great Substack article by Lauren Brown, who makes a powerful case for reading history texts/stories aloud to students well into middle school. History Matters LaurenBrownOnEd laurenbrownoned.substack.com/p/the-power-of…

I tend to be a “glass half-full” kind of gal, so love the line about current grant priorities promoting instruction that prioritizing knowledge-rich materials…⁦Knowledge Matters Campaign⁩ ⁦Thanks Susan Neuman⁩ for your consistently insightful commentary! edweek.org/teaching-learn…
