Let’s all help share Mr. Gaona’s tweet so we can help inspire his students by talking entrepreneurship with Waco’s own @chipgaines at the Silos.

Small groups give students all the great benefits of having their own personal "tutor", the teacher, by their side, guiding and encouraging them right where they are. Who doesn't grow with such individual attention😉#truegritlit

Rigor means there is energy involved, you are active and there is variety in what you are doing.... so moving up the "rigor" in assessments means taking old ideas and shaping them into a new active and energized perspectives. We learn uniquely = assess uniquely #truegritlit

@AmandaFlentge Great techniques.....I feel SSR time is best to go deep with the students, observe their reading style and clue into them as an individual reader. And I love the article's perspective of making strategies take a personal level with each student. #truegritlit

Ok #truegritlit check out the link below and then answer the Q of the Week! https://t.co/eSaBbXvqRM

[Allison Ramsay Higgins @Higginsfam8]

#truegritlit Talking about a book, especially around a shared novel, would lay the groundwork for more raw, open discussions where no answer or observation is wrong, rather insightful and beneficial to the whole group. This opens the door to a love of reading.

[Dr. Amanda Flentge @AFlentgeEdD]

Are your students reading for the love of reading, or reading to find answers to questions YOU have created? See the #truegritlit Question of the Week below and weigh in and then check out this awesome blog post @MarisaEThompson https://t.co/KWObpUkLNE

Footsteps of our students in the hallways means this is the beginning of so many #TrueGritStories .

#Elbow partner sharing on the lesson content; Students get up stretch and then share a fun fact, like favorite ice cream flavor, before sitting down; give them "breaks" in the lesson by creating movement and time to talk using what we are learning

[Dr. Amanda Flentge @AFlentgeEdD]

Name a strategy that you use to engage students. #truegritlit
