It’s a big shift for the college, which has been TCRWP’s home since it launched four decades ago, and for Calkins, who built her reputation in the literacy world on the project’s workshop approach. And it comes as Calkins has come under fire over the past few years from education researchers and some teachers who say that her approach is not aligned with the evidence base behind how children learn to read.

Calkins initially pushed back on these claims, but later pledged changes to her reading program in grades ...
