Talk:Teachers College Reading and Writing Project

This program is widely used in thousands of schools. I found many schools talking about it on their websites. The founder meets WP:PROF. The acct is named for the publisher of some of the materials so they have a WP:COI but given how many teachers, students and parents are likely to encounter this long running program, this is a notable topic.

This sounds like it comes straight out of marketing brochures
This does not sound at all like an encyclopedia article. It sounds like it comes from company literature or the company website. 2600:1003:B03F:2E7F:F16F:DD9A:F9AC:1BA7 (talk) 21:58, 7 March 2022 (UTC) [Formerly user ileanadu, who hasn't been able to log on for over a year.]
 * while the article does have a short mention of a significant revamping to include phonics, there is no real explanation or history of why this took place, nor is there any mention of opposition to the program, e.g., https://reason.com/video/2023/01/25/why-did-schools-stop-teaching-kids-how-to-read-live-with-robert-pondiscio-nick-gillespie-and-zach-weissmueller/?utm_medium=emailm, https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2020/01/27/lucy-calkins-reading-materials-review, https://www.forbes.com/sites/nataliewexler/2021/11/21/problems-with-lucy-calkins-curriculum-go-beyond-reading-to-writing/?sh=32bea9be50c9, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/21/us/lucy-calkins-race-gender-curriculum.html, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/22/us/reading-teaching-curriculum-phonics.html

 * The article should mention the abject failure of this pseudo-intellectual hogwash, demonstrated by the dismal performance of NYC public schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.219.162 (talk) 20:21, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I think that's fair. Perhaps then someone can add more context about the reading side to match the workshop side. Lewisguile (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
