@robertkaplinsky@pgliljedahl 5 chapters in, it is part of #GEVSDSummerbookstudy and I already have so many ideas. I love the format of the book as well as how he lists out his reasoning that lead to these suggestions.
With any new strategy in the classroom, the first push back from teachers almost always involves time! How do I fit this in with everything else? I think this quote says it all. It’s all about when and where you are willing to spend your time. #GEVSDSummerBookStudy
Last years book study covered productive struggle, and I think this directly correlates to the point made here. Students need to feel safe in the struggle and it needs to be a part of the regular routine to for that to happen. #GEVSDSummerBookStudy
I think mimicking is the root cause! Students are copying our steps without really understanding the why. They aren’t thinking! This is why we see so much struggle in the upper grades. There are too many new routines to successfully mimic them all. #GEVSDSummerBookStudy
Starting my summer book study tonight, and feel like I just had a huge “AHA” moment💡Often we are asked to dig into the “why.” Why are we not able to close the gap? Why are students not retaining what they are learning when they appear to show mastery in the moment?
A huge, & well-deserved, congratulations to @rdamschroder1 as he wraps up 34 years of blood, sweat and tears given to the Carey football program. We’ll miss you & your love of the game. Best wishes as you move forward in life. #WeWannaBeFootballHeroes#AGreatDayToBeAlive
