@brilliantbarton adapted your ingenious sentence stems and collaboration cards for Eng 4! Thanks for the resources! #RISDBelieves

Deep content knowledge allows students to have something to write about, while explicitly teaching skills starting at the sentence level makes it accessible for all writers. #scienceofreading #highqualitycurriculum #reading #literacy #writing #spelling

"If students see a reading activity as an opportunity to surface misconceptions and share a more accurate understanding, they will go back and reread, something all good readers do." https://t.co/xQoxtXvFAs

“If a child is reading ‘pony’ as ‘horse,’ these children haven’t been taught to read. And they’re already being given strategies for dealing with their failures. This is backwards.” https://t.co/z4YPmtaziq by @ehanford @CLPeak

Background knowledge is essential to critical thinking.

I highly recommend this piece by @jillbarshay, explaining how & why.

"there is no evidence critical thinking and problem solving are skills that can actually be taught. Psychologists suspect we can only think critically about a subject after we have accrued some deep knowledge in it." https://t.co/f2yHl1DnAW

.@Doug_Lemov describes Teach Like a Champion 3.0: "The first chapter is about the principles that comprise a strong mental model of how students learn. If you have a clear model of how learning works, then it’s easier to make optimal decisions." https://t.co/sGCg9YzLbU

Getting students to revise their writing can be a challenge—but an evidence scavenger hunt makes it into a game! @Bostondebate
