There's a "mismatch between what educators believe and know and what convergent research supports as effective reading instruction for children at risk of reading difficulties."

This study is 18 years old. Drawing any policy decisions from this does not make sense. this does not reflect reality anymore. Literalluy almost every single teacher in Conneciticut using Fundations now...commerical leakage of knowledge alone puts this study in doubt

Many teachers lack research-based disciplinary knowledge about reading development, assessment, and language structure and, in fact, “don’t know what they don’t know

I see no evidence cited for this except in 18 year old study

Teachers acquire this kind of knowledge when it is taught in pre-service preparation or in-service professional development.

Better there than on a back of a box of cereal

Mentors make a difference in teachers’ ability to hone their instructional practices to raise student achievement.

Here I 100% agree. It takes mentoring and coaching and community. Let's get everyone involved in literacy. Given all the research in the improtance of mentors why are we looking increasing credit hours? The Carnegie credit useless in measuring teaching ability.
