@PinellasSuper Go Kathleen and Team!!!

Campbell Park ES had double digit increases in math and ELA proficiency last year!  The focus on early learning is impressive!

@jamie_lipp I appreciate your posts Jamie.

To my Twitter friends who have enjoyed/interacted with my daily posts for some time, I will be taking (hopefully) a short break in posting. My concerns, experiences, beliefs & general concern for all children, teachers, & schools remain the same. #allthestories #alltheresearch

A4 - There is no “right” reading program. Instead of spending so much money on programs, provide teachers with high-quality professional development opportunities that allow them to develop a theory of reading that guides their teaching decisions. #G2Great

@wbny Nope!

Quick Survey for something I’m working on: How many teachers on here had undergrad classes in curriculum design?

I had no idea how much I was missing kindergarten. #oral language #playground

Don't buy a program. Don't add more interventions. Don't spend additional money. Don't look at new curriculums. Want to get learners where they need to be? Do bring staff together. Do decide on common beliefs & practices. Do redesign Tier 1 with impact built-in. This works.

District-wide training day in Pinellas. ELA teachers participated in informational, hands-on, & make & take sessions across the district. ❤️❤️❤️

To all the parade participants who make the effort to recognize a person in a wheelchair when throwing goodies, thank you.
