There is plenty here to inform and entertain all. And, by the way, I'm not trying to sell any books. I don't have any curriculum or programs to market. I don't accept speaking fees. And, I don't ever want to be a consultant.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-28T16:18:48.962159+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-instruction-show-995891"},"episode":{"title":"The Latest NCTQ Technical Report Does Not Meet Basic Academic Standards","slug":"the-latest-nctq-technical-report-does-not-meet-basic-academic-standards","published_at":"2026-06-21T14:21:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-instruction-show-995891/the-latest-nctq-technical-report-does-not-meet-basic-academic-standards","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-instruction-show-995891","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/drandy/2932137","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/5005/2932137/drandy/2026_06_21_14_21_39_5c4d00a0-786f-49bc-8432-88bacafbba2d.mp3","summary":"The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) recently put out another technical report. This technical report graded 700 teacher preparation programs across the country (Ellis, et al., 2026). However, a critical evaluation shows why this report can’t be taken seriously. It contains an abundance of misinformation, disinformation, and convenient inaccuracies. It’s not known if these were intentional on the part of the writers or a result of a lack of knowledge. If you’re looking for accessible, research-based information that slices through the endless loads of overly worded baloney, I would encourage you to subscribe to my free Substack, The Reading Instruction Show .
