Teach Effectively!

The private venture to which Reid Lyon will be moving is gaining press momentum (see entry in LDBlog). It includes an effort to provide teacher education and Lyon is quoted in stories on the matter.

Lyon has strongly criticized teacher education in the past, saying that few schools and colleges of education adequately prepare people to teach effectively. The critical question, of course, is whether this effort will be any better than others at preparing teachers to use evidence-based instructional pratices. I hope so.
