Alabama's reading gains didn't happen overnight or result from a single reform.
Evidence-based instruction. Stable leadership. Strong teacher coaching. And a commitment to staying the course.

Enjoyed visiting Hewitt-Trussville High School this morning to observe Alabama’s A+ College Ready partnership training for teachers from all across the state!

For years we have watched as middle schoolers struggled even as Alabama made big gains in lower grades. We are finally starting to see some encouraging movement in the latest round of scores, as reported by @Trish_Crain for @ALDailyNews -->

Spending today following four dozen middle and high school administrators that are learning about instructional rounds. My thanks to @aplusala for allowing me to shadow this group.

I wrote a column reflecting on the Fourth of July. I was concerned it might be a little long, but it came out to exactly 1776 words.
Here’s’ to another 250 years!

It's so great to listen in as people highlight the progress our students and teachers are making in Alabama's schools. Motivating and uplifting while still acknowledging we have a long way to go to get where we need to be. #aledchat
Our own @Trish_Crain attended this year's @APlusAla Opportunity Summit in Birmingham, where education leaders gathered to discuss building on recent progress in schools.

The Alabama Literacy Act is proving it is working!
On #LiteracyDay, we are reminded that a strong start matters, and we’re making sure every child can read by the third grade.
Reading scores are on the rise among every demographic of Alabama students. #alpolitics

Results of @GovernorKayIvey holding firm on the #Literacy Act and high standards across the board. More credit needs to be given to her because no one wanted to be the “bad guy” and say out loud that if kids aren’t performing they shouldn’t be socially promoted. #alpolitics
Alabama’s gains in covid recovery comparisons surpass those of every other state.
