@MCPSDELME We had a great day of learning for our SLIFE ELA & Math PLCs. From a fishbowl on collaborative planning in ELA w/ specific decisions about SLIFE, to collaboration & asset based focus during math planning/ instruction, the learning was great! Thank You math & ELA teams!

This is how I teach reading skills: Sentence Lifting

I only do this ONCE for the entire article because it is quite cognitively demanding and time-consuming, but worth it in terms of developing students' reading skills.

"If schools were better places for boys of color, more would become teachers. If schools were better places for men of color, more males of color would remain teachers."

[Kenneth M. Smith, NBCT @MrSmithInspires]

Extremely important to understand and educate others about individual AND systemic oppression. Find your place in that and work from there. @willjawando @BONDEducators #BONDsummit
