Description

In our latest episode, Dr. Donyall Dickey and his cohosts introduce the well-known
fire safety technique, "Stop, Drop, and Roll," as a powerful metaphor for addressing the ongoing challenges facing America’s schools. They diagnose a
lack of calibration—specifically, the misalignment and misunderstandings
surrounding longstanding standards that have been in place for decades.

While standards are meant to serve as guidance, they alone are not the panacea
for the performance gap, where 65% of America’s children are not reading on
grade level.

Dr.Dickey and his cohosts emphasize that it’s not the standards themselves that
ensure success, but rather the standardized understanding of the concepts
embedded within those standards. This episode explores how this miscalibration
contributes to persistent student underperformance and why simply having
standards is not enough.

The team shares how Educational Epiphany’s four high-impact instructional practices help us "calibrate" once and for all—offering a set of high-yield strategies to align educator understanding, quiet the noise, and support all students in reaching and exceeding the reading proficiency line.
