Find the silver lining. Amongst all this educational upheaval, @MathEdLeaders offered FREE access to their national conference through online learning. Great learning happening today!

This is my 2nd grade daughter, Rosalie. I gave her 24 chex and asked her if she could make rectangles to show multiplication facts. Below is her answer to “How do you know 9 isn’t a factor of 24?” This was after a 2 hour bike ride. #MorePlayLessWorksheets

@jimknight99 Help that person clarify their goal/desired state. Then the third point that is created by the goal/state allows for a more open discussion and can free up their thinking. My cognitive coaching training calls this setting the PACE. As always strong partnership principles help.

Bio teachers developed a fun way to introduce variation/genetics. A baby shower. How can so many different looking siblings come from the same two parents? #JHSculture #Johnstonlearns

These Dragons have great work ethic! Helping each other fogure out how to predict quantities when given a scatter plot showing correlation. #Johnstonlearns #EL #MathDiscourse

*trend lines that is

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Toothpicks ended up being a good way for our students to show tend lines and correlation in our statistics study! #johnstonlearns #EL

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Our Science Ts do a great job of making the content come to life with manipulatives that serve as analogies. Dedication and lots of prep time to make it happen! @sarakatehowe #johnstonlearns

@Desmos provides a great tool to teach kids about fractions. Great to to let them hypothesize about the patterns that occur and see equivalent fractions and compare fractions. #JohnstonLearns #SMP

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Some more pics of the process.

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Ss using their funds of knowledge via their native language to build vocabulary understanding by categorizing prompts relating to measures of central tendency. #SMP #EL #Johnstonlearns

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Nice to see all of the valuable and essential frameworks/concepts in one place. Too much focus on one aspect/book/concept could be a potential pitfal. I appreciate how this blog addresses both technical/social-emotional/situational components. As always, thank you @jimknight99

In today's blog, I tried to sum up 20 years of research on effective coaching in one column 🙄. There are a lot of coaching tools you can grab here too: https://t.co/hxQyzzljeH

Ss in EspanolTres working on sharing insights from famous artists. Ss chose 2 of the 4 they learned about to highlight. Then Ss will use @Flipgrid to comment on others, finally authors will comment on critics agreeing or disagreeing. Nice comprehensible input! #johnstonlearns

@anakingery shared her work in Design today. 1 of many great projects. cool process-sketch out a scene in blue ink that doesn’t show up for cameras as rough draft, went back with pen for slight adjustments, then inputted to comp for digital coloring. @JCSD_JHSart #johnstonlearns

#JohnstonLearns in PE using HR monitors. Ss were evaluating their HR level and adjusting their workout to be in the optimal HR zone. @JCSD_Strength

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

@MsKristiM had her students do an activity to talk about perspective in writing. Draw an object and then compare it to someone who drew the same object from across the room. Made a complex concept tangible to start-then expanded it! #johnstonlearns

[JHS Instructional Coaches @JHS_IC]

Johnston has some great EL teachers. Here is a S/o to @MrsK3nny. She had her students categorizing summary statements from a reading summarizing a current event! Some interesting discussion ensued.
