We have been reading mentor texts for weeks as we collaboratively explored CSPACE. We have been delving into rich language and also been learning about character traits, motivations, goals and values. Today we examined show versus tell. @thinkSRSD@LeslieLaud
🚨From my article:
"the commercial math-ed sector is flooded w/ ineffective math programs & teacher professional dev't marketed as 'research-based.' But that can mean almost anything, from small case studies to opinion framed as research...Taxpayer dollars should not fund ineffective math programs" Link below👇
We are all at different parts of the writing process and being released at different times and in different ways, but we are all deep on our journeys of understanding how to write, and how to write well! @LeslieLaud@thinkSRSD
Active participation is always forefront for me in every moment of instruction. Our newest tool is our whiteboard paddles. Look at all those responses!
@lcfettes@ONlit_social@thinkSRSD Nice to see @thinkSRSD taking off in Ontario and you and the rest of the IDA team catching on! I’ve seen huge growth over the last year from my students and deeply appreciate all of @LeslieLaud support and work. It’s wonderful you have this platform to share !
@PNeerja@IAReading Have been deeply focussed on this for a few years and it’s crucial. Why use content based readings if Ss don’t have a deep understanding in their lexicons of the Vocab forst?
LATEST EPISODE
In this episode, @LeslieLaud discusses @thinkSRSD key strategies, including the use of mnemonics & how to apply them across different grade levels & writing genres. She also answers the important question: How do you get started?

It’s been a whole year since I earned my Orton-Gillingham Classroom Educator certification and I’ve finally organized my salmon- white card deck. Looking forward to using it with students! #ortongillingham#OG#structuredlit
"For a logical enterprise like math, it is remarkable how romanticized notions of learning have emerged, focused on outcomes like creativity and collaboration, which are prized over mastery of the skills needed to create and collaborate effectively." me & @CoreyJPeltier, in press
