Program Review Protocols with Dr. Timothy Shanahan
Timothy Shanahan’s latest blog on problems with textbook reviews got us talking!
Shanahan took some time out of his busy schedule to join us on The Literacy View to
discuss problems and his suggested solutions.

What About Textbook Reviews?

Quote:
Despite the rhetoric of these groups, the term “evidence aligned” is meaningless. Often
there is no direct evidence that what is being required has ever benefited children’s
learning in a research study.

Timothy Shanahan is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at
Chicago where he was Founding Director of the UIC Center for Literacy. Previously, he
was director of reading for the Chicago Public Schools. He is author/editor of more than

of the Advisory Board of the National Institute for Literacy under Presidents George W.
Bush and Barack Obama, and he helped lead the National Reading Panel, convened at
the request of Congress to evaluate research on the teaching reading, a major influence

Literacy Panel for Language Minority Children and Youth, and the National Early
Literacy Panel, and helped write the Common Core State Standards.
He was inducted to the Reading Hall of Fame in 2007 and is a former first-grade

The Literacy View is an engaging and inclusive platform encouraging respectful discussion and debate about current issues in education.
