Readers - I need your help. I’m working with a high school teacher who’s interested in running a book club with her leadership students. Let’s hear your YA recommendations that fit with leadership themes.

It's never too late in the school year to talk about increasing our reading volume & uncovering reader identity. This week I spent time with grade 7 & 8 Ss @cwperryschool talking about their reading experiences. We kicked things off by hearing from @JasonReynolds83

@jarredamato Let's see your student's name a book @rvsed #rvsliteracy

2/2 Special thanks to @jarredamato and his student Jay who has set the bar high! x.com/jarredamato/st…

1/2 I challenge my fellow teachers to ask their students the question "Can you name a book?" and keep the camera rolling until they are out of titles. I'm confident that the results will be much better than when the @jimmykimmel team hit the streets.

@RvsThomsen @rvsed Grateful for all of your contributions to our learning community. It's been a pleasure learning alongside of you.

Collaborating as a group #RVSLiteracy @rvsed #goals as readers and writers

Beyond grateful for the participants of our 4-part literacy learning series. These teachers fully committed to designing learning that empowers students to be engaged readers and writers with an agency all of their own. #rvsliteracy @rvsed

@sheabrandford @rvsed No, thank you Shae for being "all in" this year. @rvsed is lucky to have you. You are a gem!

Thank you @RobertsJaner and @rvsed for the amazing four part series on literacy this year! A phenomenal learning experience! 📚

@RebekahODell1 @WallingfordPS @CarrieLaudadio Love this idea for a mentor text with high schoolers. I did a quick google search for the mentor text but couldn't find it. Would you be willing to share?

Looking to build your YA collection? Check out these current, high-interest texts for grades 6-12. #RVSliteracy #RVSed

@msklgreene @pennykittle So great that you could join us!

Very grateful to be spending the day with #RVSLiteracy and @pennykittle 📚

@tanisteaches @pennykittle 👏👏

Moving beyond the dreaded question that’s like nails on a chalkboard for a teacher… “Is this for marks?” Thanks @pennykittle #rvsliteracy

@jadechausse 🙌

@BCHSChargers English department having a blast with @pennykittle at @rvsed #RVSLiteracy @RobertsJaner

The First Page Student Writing Challenge is happening this month. Writing contests are a great way to give writers an authentic audience. There’s so many great mentor texts that come to mind - Station Eleven, The Marrow Thieves, Scythe.

Earlier this week I had a the chance to visit an outdoor classroom where I observed Ss reading, writing, noticing & wondering in nature. It was a beautiful day to get outside. These Ss learn outside daily, in all seasons - learning beyond the 4 walls. @rvsed

Middle school moments! I was able to spend the first period with Mr. Perry and his grade 7s. Daily essential literacy practices are routine and well established at @mcmsreads @rvsed instagram.com/p/C174-IBvMvB/…

@charityhelman @engler_jill So fun! Love this idea.

Book spine haiku poetry in G.8 today. They truly were engaged and having fun putting these together! @engler_jill #calgaryacademy #lovewhatIdo
