EDUCATORS and LIBRARIANS: I’m giving away 90 copies of the first three books in my Geeger the Robot early chapter book series, half here and half on Instagram. To enter to win them here: RT this tweet + follow me! Bonus entry: tag a pal who you think might like these books too!

#TLC2021 Panel #2 talks Coaching Relationships. Be curious. Be kind. Talk to yourself with compassion. Conversations are relationships-relationships are conversations.

If this is not on your calendar yet, it needs to be! You won’t regret spending your Saturday learning from these amazing educators from #TCRWP and beyond! #RSDreading #RSDwriting #RSDLearns

Use formal and informal assessment data to invite students into the work. Instead of thinking about the end goal and looking for what is missing, reframe your mindset/approach to get the most out of your data #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting #RSDLearns

@room214 @sadieclorinda @sadieclorinda love this!

@sadieclorinda Can you share the template you are using?

Planning PD, like planning learning, shouldn’t start with opening a slidedeck or creating resources. It starts with designing the learning experience through the lens of the learner. Using my #LXD Framework template to design back to school PD before I ever touch the tech!

Read everything @nellkduke writes!

Recording still available :)

@mcmounteer @lizziehetzer Where can I go to sign up for the newsletter?!

Our next newsletter posted today! Check your email! We answered some of the questions we got about decodable texts. Check it out and let us know what you think! @lizziehetzer mariemounteer.substack.com/p/still-learni…

Print vs. Digital texts -- let's be sure to pay attention to what researchers say as we plan for students' reading now, over the summer, and in the future (thanks for sharing @KellyGToGo): latimes.com/opinion/story/…

A quick question for instructional coaches: What are the most important things coaches need to learn when they start coaching?

@BrianaJ_Rodgers @NinePBS Amazing! Can I be a guest teacher!?

I’ve been out of my 5th grade classroom for two years but being an educator will always be my passion. I’m thankful for @NinePBS for giving me the opportunity to teach kids science this summer 😁 #TeachingInRoom9 #TeacherAppreciation

@liv2learn @Isaology @J0Dantonio @NaplesKatie I came across this in a search- your padlet is asking for a password- could I please have access to it? I am an elementary instructional coach

@Isaology @J0Dantonio @NaplesKatie I built a padlet tonight of sound wall resources relying heavily on Dr. Mary Dahlgren's work and resources. She truly is THE international expert on sound walls. It's just a start/ a work in progress I will add to (it's late here 😀) but here is the link- padlet.com/pkastner/eml6p…

How might having a sound wall like this vowel valley created for teachers- say in a faculty room- lead to deep discussions about phonology and orthography? Might it lead to sound walls in classrooms for kids with instruction from speech-to-print? Yep... it's happening.

Want to recharge the engagement, interest, & energy in your readers? Refresh your classroom library! Write a grant, borrow from the local library, ask for donations...no matter how you do it, make your Ss a part of the project 📚 ❤️ #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDLearns

If you want to know which facts a student might not know on their way to #BuildingFactFluency, just ask them. No mad math minute. No stress. No multiplication sundaes. No tears. #elemmathchat #iteachmath Template: bit.ly/3bsidSU

I’ll be hosting a #BuildingFactFluency webinar next Wednesday and we’ll be tackling mult&div in context. Get signed up and walk away with a new lesson string. What’s in a lesson string, you ask? Registration here-> bit.ly/3pNEvSV #elemmathchat #iteachmath

I find that I turn books I’m reading into a PD or toolkit as I read it. This helps me process the content at a higher level and prepare for future PD opportunities. #tip

Hey teachers. It is crucial that our civics instruction includes: Bias Awareness and the application of that awareness to our research. Tip: Demonstrating our own learning inside this work is in itself activism. @MaryEhrenworth @PabloWolfe @marctoddnyc @HeinemannPub #civics
