GPTeachers- this a big deal! Consider working on National Board Certification and let me know if you have questions! Michigan Establishes its First Incentive Fund for National Board-Certified Teachers with $5M in State Funding https://t.co/YFtJurgPhU via @NBPTS
We are ready for the #MichiganLiteracy Early Literacy Coaches! Learning with @nellkduke Dr. Gwendolyn Thompson-McMillon, Emily Caylor, and Mary Patillo-Dunn! Thanks you to @TanyaSWright for your support from afar! @MAISA_ISDs
GP teachers- consider responding to this survey and then join me and @Rheauml on November 8th to think about storytelling for building relationships and literacy skills
⏳If you can spare 20 - 30 minutes, this is a great way to spend it: a good cause, an honorarium, and an opportunity to reflect. Thank you for considering!
Study: "Teachers' Perceptions of Children's Oral Storytelling Skills"
This has been a week of devastating reporting on reading instruction. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but that will not lead to action. And we MUST act for the sake of all young readers. 🧵 on 5 things that fuel my optimism so I can keep taking action for readers
Inviting students to read and sort books together builds a literacy community. Having students label the library gives them a sense that the library is theirs and the books are for them. All this leads to Independent Reading! @msreecewinn @DrMaryHoward
Teachers, as you start the new school year, trust that devoting time to getting to know your students as readers and writers is crucial. Only then can you start teaching them. Offer choice from Day One, and see what happens. #independentreading
#BarnesAndNoble has suddenly decided NOT to carry KEY PLAYER, the 4th FRONT DESK book, coming out in 2 weeks! Here are the new details of their new “nationwide strategy”—only giving shelf space for Top 1-2 books per publisher! I am not Top enough, apparently! 😭 #FrontDeskSeries
Beginning of the year read alouds do not have to be about school. Nonfiction is a great entry point for discussions and helps you get to know the Ss’ interests. Displaying a number of topics and asking them what they’d like sends a beautiful message.
Excited to work with some great educators this summer and throughout the school year with our literacy learning network sponsored book study💕#letsgetstarted@GPSchools@BourkeJ_NBCT
