Professional development is defined by its impact.
When was the last time you attended/designed/facilitated a transformative PD? What made it so impactful?
My regular plea to teachers: "Please ditch the traditional weekly word list. The only way students learn to spell & read words is through orthographic mapping.
The assignment of the traditional weekly spelling list does the opposite of orthographic mapping.

My G! ❤️ I loved having Gavin read to my class. Gavin is a hard working 2nd grader. His reading was 🤯 amazing. Mrs. Skelton, ❤️ thank you for sharing Gavin. #blessed#growth#strongreader#alwaysAMortonkid
It was SO wonderful to be back at school with these friends after being away for almost the entire 1st half of the year due to back surgery. #creeklife@mortonkids@SCECardinals

We won for the best-behaved class in first grade AND the school!!!! We talk about behavior expectations every single day. It's quick and a part of our routine. I am beyond proud of this amazing class. ❤️❤️
