The One About…
Is the term “SoR” overused? Special Guest Emina McLean
SoR?
SoL?
Structured Literacy?
Quote:
“What does that mean? In concrete terms, what exactly would you observe in these schools
with respect to documentation, assessment, or teaching and learning practices that would
mean they were an “SoL” school, and who decides?” – Emina McLean
“There is no such thing as an “SoR” curriculum, resource, or set of instructional techniques.”
