Many spend our own $ /time because our BC ministry won't fund the switch to evidence based.

| 1640951463894716416 | @LizzieBTrask @elenoresturko @RachnaSinghNDP Thanks Erin. The @bcedplan needs to wake up and start changing policy. 47 US states have dyslexia/ structured literacy laws involving early screening, structured literacy, early remediation & access to diagnosis to properly remediate to meet disability needs @BCCPAC @Dave_Eby | 3 |
| 1640943242991792129 | @RobertaLSutton @RachnaSinghNDP @bctf @JenPalmaGlobal @jillreports @MikeSmythNews @simisara980 I have met with the @bcedplan they blame The fact that teachers are allowed to choose how they teach as the main reason why they won’t switch. Sighting LD/dyslexia as a diverse ability and that UDL will take care of it all is a Huge foot in the mouth. @RachnaSinghNDP @BCEdAccess | 3 |
