Louisa Moats Award

“ First, teaching is hard and change is hard. It may involve letting go of dearly held beliefs or familiar programs and activities, and replacing them with new understandings and practices. So educators need every positive incentive to do that. Most importantly, kids' lives are at stake here. Those schools and districts that are working to ensure that everyone learns to read must be celebrated so that others will follow their lead. ”
