I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

@ghapsmaryawhite @workingc We all learn when he leads.

So thankful for our coach @workingc who hosted MEGA Labs in 1st grade for our Y5-1st teachers & 4th grade for our 2nd-4th teachers! Mr. Working taught classes, modeled first best instruction and coached all simultaneously! #UsInMustangs

Visited 11 classrooms (virtual and in person) today to affirm the work our teachers are doing. Also spent some time reading with a 2nd grader reminding him he IS a reader and can utilize his pattern power! #UsInMustangs #InstructionalLeader #LeadWithService

Sometimes, teachers don’t need their administrators to inspire them, motivate them, or even lead them. Sometimes, what teachers need... is for their administrators to listen to them, understand them, and validate their experiences.

Much of the ed. value of read alouds lies in the interactivity. Here's a video demonstrating an asynchronous/recorded read aloud that encourages interactivity. Probably not as good as synchronous IRAs, but likely better than just reading straight through. ies.ed.gov/ncee/edlabs/re…

@Jennife50479873 She says it so well. I am there with you.

Pretty much sums up what has been going on in my head/heart/life right now...

@pellegrl My current state!

Preschool educators: Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer from Virginia Tech has shared a video demonstrating how to do shared reading with print referencing at a distance/remotely. Posted (with permission) on my YouTube Channel: youtu.be/fua1pp8X3i0 Thank you, @haemesmer !

Coming up A LOT in my interviews with parents: Zoom school IS anxiety producing. Kids who were never anxious r now freaking out about not being seen or heard. These are 5-8 year olds. Students should not be in zoom classes of 20 plus kids at once.

I used to teach high school. Now I teach college freshman. High school teachers, PLEASE stop saying "I don't like the 5-paragraph essay, but the students need it for college." They don't. They really, really, don't. I promise!!

Some very important work to share with colleagues!

@jenniferkmiller @Literacy4Real Best Virtual Assistant ever! The Millers make a good team.

@Jennife50479873 Yes!! We values relationships and connection during a very stressful time. Our community of learners supported each other.

Yes! It was 3 months during a global pandemic! Everyone in the world was doing something different in their lives—students are no exception. They are people/kids first. #benice #mentalhealth #LearningNeverStops

We are halfway through Day 1 & loving every minute of it! If you enjoyed today & want to share the experience with more colleagues, tell them they can still register for the rest of the week PLUS have 30 days of access to the sessions that they missed! literacy4real.com
