Time should be spent now on figuring out how to deliver books regularly to homes, get kids on WiFi w/ a device, get math manipulatives and art supplies out. In person school is going to be short-lived (if it happens at all) and might even be worse than remote instruction.
@mrbgilson We brought our pets or stuffed animals to our Google Meet today. It’s a great way to spark conversation, build community, and spread joy. Social/emotional learning is even MORE important during this uncertain time. #wholechild#petswelcome
Q6: Fact!!! Connecting learning across multiple content areas builds understanding beyond the classroom walls and gives students the ability to process, reflect, and extend their learning. #emergED2lead @SCASCD
A5: Technology simply amplifies the pedagogy of the classroom. It can definitely be a creative tool to challenge and students, but don’t get it twisted. It’s a tool not a destination. Deeper understanding is the destination. #emergED2lead @SCASCD
A4: Fact: failure is part of the learning process. Understanding a mistake and reworking through the process creates a rich learning environment for everyone. If Ss aren’t struggling through the learning process, are they growing? #emergED2lead @SCASCD
Students are in the development stages of their Tall Tales. To encourage meaningful conversations among readers and writers, writers ask for specific feedback from their pieces: questions, suggestions and ideas. All participants play an important role in sharing.
@DocCatto However, overall I really work to have students express in conferences what and where they need support. Serravallo’s Writing Strategies is a great resource for teaching strategies and goal setting and Carl Anderson’s Writing Conference Book is fantastic! Hope this helps!
@DocCatto In the initial conference, we set a goal, then we focus on two specific skills towards the goal. I slowly teach strategies to student in conferences depending on need. As a T we want the strategy to eventually become automatic with the student. This will show progress.
