Irene Fountas, Gay Su Pinnell, and Cornelius Minor: From Vision to Action in Leadership and Literacy

Today on the podcast we have an excerpt from our new ForwardED slow conference series. Today’s conversation features Irene Fountas, Gay Su Pinnell, and Cornelius Minor.

Irene Fountas is the Marie M. Clay Endowed Chair for Early Literacy and Reading Recovery at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts and director of the Center for Reading Recovery and Literacy Collaborative in the Graduate School of Education.

Gay Su Pinnell is Professor Emerita in the School of Teaching and Learning at The Ohio State University and a member of the Reading Hall of Fame.

Cornelius Minor is a Brooklyn-based educator. He works with teachers, school leaders, and leaders of community-based organizations to support equitable literacy reform. He is the author of We Got This.

Together they discuss their vision and values around literacy instruction, providing encouragement to teachers and school leaders to always keep students at the center of their planning, teaching and decision-making.
