Yes - it is has concerned me that the science of learning/reading conferences and pds I have attended in the last 2 -3 years have been largely attended by primary teachers. Secondary schools are picking up 'high impact strategies' and are beginning to take interest in cognitive load theory and its implications for high school students but it would be fantastic to have a forum that was aimed at secondary school teachers and the complexities of that situation.

That’s the aim, Carolyn! Much for secondary teachers to discuss and share specific to their part of the Ed system.
I think reading is so fundamental that it unites people. Secondary is a lot more silo’ed but is becoming more unified on this. I hope!
