💙🩵💚 What a great morning visiting our SUHSD schools! Today at La Paz Middle School, I saw strong seventh grade English language development instruction focused on explicit grammar, academic vocabulary, and clear communication.

💙Thank you, Mr. Raúl García and Mr. Robert Bishop, for helping our students strengthen their language skills and grow as confident readers, writers, and speakers. Connecting these skills to our Portrait of a Graduate brings our vision of skilled communicators to life! 📚

[Mme Lockhart @MmeLockhartLDS]

“Research indicates that the majority of teachers report inadequate pre- and inservice preparation in writing instruction.” — Harris, Graham and Laud

Effective writing instruction requires more than providing students with opportunities to write. It requires explicit instruction, teacher modelling, guided practice, and meaningful feedback.

This article by Dr. Leslie Laud, Steve Graham, and colleagues highlights the evidence supporting Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) and the importance of professional learning that equips teachers with the knowledge and skills to implement effective writing instruction.

As we continue to invest in literacy improvement, we must recognize that sustainable change depends not simply on adopting programs, but on building teacher expertise.

There is an important distinction between assigning writing and explicitly teaching students how to write.

We need to stop confusing assigning writing with teaching writing!!!

💬 I’d love to know: Were you explicitly taught HOW to teach writing in your teacher education program, or were you expected to figure it out once you entered the classroom?

📖 A worthwhile read for every classroom teacher, literacy coach and school leader! @LeslieLaud

Still beaming with pride after watching our incredibly talented Dekaney Wildcats bring Clue to life on stage! What an extraordinary performance! The talent, creativity, and passion of our student performers left me in awe! So proud of these remarkable young artists! BRAVO!

[Kimberly Holley, Ed.S. @KHolleyEdS]

Students at @Eisenhower_EE put a twist on Unit 3’s PBL ….. they gave each skeleton a “personality”.

The students also selected an organ and created a “resume” for that organ.

A behavior is a signal. If we change the behavior without getting to the root cause, we haven't changed much. Look at the underlying regulation first. #LeadInclusion #Neurodiversity #InclusiveEducation

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

A student gets into an argument with a classmate, says something hurtful, and ends up in the office. After talking through what happened, they acknowledge they were wrong and apologize.

That's a start. But what happens the next time someone makes them angry?

If all we've done is address the behavior, we might be sending that student back into the same situation without any new tools to handle it.

This is where teaching needs to be part of discipline.

Students may need help recognizing when frustration is building, figuring out what to say instead, knowing when to walk away, or practicing how to disagree without escalating a conflict.

And those skills often need to be practiced before the next difficult moment, not just discussed afterward.

There may still need to be a consequence. The student may still need to repair the harm they've caused. Understanding why something happened doesn't erase responsibility for it.

But we also need to consider what the student is taking away from the experience.

If they leave knowing only what they shouldn't have done, we've missed an opportunity to help them handle the next situation differently.

@CoachGrase ABSOLUTELY! Nov. 21, I'm bringing Session 1: Calm, Clear, Connected! What if classroom management started with CONNECTION, not CORRECTION? 👀 Come ready! We're building bridges, not barriers!
