@jharveyedu having students name their mathematical power sounds like something you would do!

Having students name and claim their mathematical points of power was such a game changer in our classroom last year. Thanks, @bkobett #elemmathchat #iteachmath #educhat #PrincipalOfficeHours #mtbos

“I am not assessing your work to grade you. I am assessing your work to help you. I am simply joining you in your learning, so together we can build better.”
I used to think teaching was assigning and grading the work.
Now I believe it is framing and supporting the work.

You don t learn phonics to learn phonics. You learn phonics to be able to read and spell. Transfer matters.

School is NOT closed for the year. The building is. If you listen closely you can hear the hum of hard working teachers, administrators, and support staff preparing to save the day in ways and means never seen before. Yes, we are brokenhearted, but these broken hearts will lead

A5 I cannot understand why we don’t hire the best literacy coach we can possibly find. If we want engaged learning for kids, don’t we need to offer engaged learning for teachers. I think they’re worth it! #G2Great

Sometimes I realize, mid-lesson, that I am actually explaining a concept to myself rather than to my students.

Sometimes I have people ask me, "Why do teachers put up with X/Y/Z?" Honestly? Because all of our available resources (mental / emotional / etc) are focusing on the things we can control, focusing on serving our students the best we can. Very little left over for some fights
