Unpopular opinion of the day: Requiring reading logs documenting how many minutes or pages young people read is more about compliance and exerting control than "motivating" readers or "proving" any reading occurred.

@biblio_phile I don’t look at the race of someone before deciding to share resources with them. Would you share more free resources if a TOC reached out to you? If you’re not sharing because you believe in being fairly compensated for the work you do and you would ask anyone to pay, do it.

@tenacious_O @RexChapman They have a better chance of drowning driving down the middle of the road on the way to school? What exactly are the stats for that? It’s this logic that’s killing Americans at an alarming rate.

@PaulZeise @RexChapman Zero countries have achieved herd immunity for COVID-19. Other countries have been able to reopen because they have distanced, followed public health guidelines and their positivity rate dropped. Please read up on what herd immunity actually means. It is not just reopening.
English
@RexChapman Or a bunch of positive cases could lead to very few actually getting sick and herd immunity like it has in every other country.

When your school system @wcpsmd provides excellent virtual PD and encourages teachers to engage in #disruptivethinking everyone wins! #wcpsmdlearns

Loved @JenHRedding’s depth and complexity presentation and resources! Easy accessible information and great ideas for how to release responsibility to students. #wcpsmdlearns

FQ: I’ve had success with modeling how to use a rubric/success criteria to give and use feedback effectively. I started using a 3As document that a colleague created where the kids Aspire, Argue and Add to each others’ writing. I’ve seen their writing grow in just a short time!

@danadoggett15 I would love to talk more about this as well! My Ss love narrative writing but I like when it’s connected to content which isn’t always easy.

@boschen4 @EricaDHartley One of their choices for center time is free writing. I have them use their writing goal as the focus but the structure, topic and length is their choice. I have seen some amazing pieces from some of my students who don’t always shine in writing!
English
@EricaDHartley @ginnybeazley has been giving our students more free writing opportunities. I wonder if that will help as well. #GTElemChat

A3 I have found giving Ss choice in prompts and not focusing on only one type of writing at any given time to be helpful. #GTElemChat

@ginnybeazley Try some retrieval practice and dual coding! You’ll love it!

FQ: I have found many of my resources from my primary background has helped with building EF skills. We play quick 5 min brain games to improve working memory. A special ed friend shared a resource she uses to teach planning and organization. It takes a village! #gtelemchat

@danadoggett15 @boschen4 So glad you’re enjoying it! It’s one of our most powerful discussions each morning!
English
A4: I think clear, open communication is key but I also make sure the parents know the only way the students will learn is by doing the hard work themselves. Ss are responsible for their own items and when they forget, allowing them to have natural consequences. #gtelemchat
English
A3: I am teaching mindfulness from my yoga background to my students to help with EF. We start each day with a minute mindfulness activity. We also have a block of time each week devoted to mindfulness and specifically teaching EF skills like organizing and planning. #gtelemchat
English
A1&2: I see so many organizational issues that impact learning. My students with low EF skills need so much more structure from me. They can’t handle as many open-ended activities or choices. I’ve made open ended dry erase checklists that we use for EVERYTHING! #gtelemchat

Ginny Beazley 4/5 Humanities teacher at @FountaindaleES I use colored digital sticky notes on my Mac to keep track of my to do lists. My red sticky has urgent items, then orange, yellow & green is for items I want to get to eventually. I rarely get there but I try! #GTElemChat
