[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Something to remember before the kids get here:

They are not:
SPED kids
EIP kids
RTI kids
504 kids
"Those" kids
Low kids
_____ kids.

Kids are kids.
First, love them
Then learn them.
We don't love labels.
We love learners.
Love, believe & challenge ALL kids.

No excuses.

🤓 great resource for solid questioning when a child may require accommodating questions— scaffolding or extension!

[LearningForwardTexas @LearnTexas]

Great idea to use a leveled question chart to help develop better reflection questions for workshops. Thanks #LFWTX #LFTXlearns

Read to your kids!! Word knowledge is so important. Whatever it is you’re reading to them, if they hear new words, you’re expanding their speaking and reading vocabulary!

[Institute for Multi-Sensory Education @IMSEOG]

Students should be instructed in vocabulary as early as kindergarten because when a child progresses into higher grades, comprehension is affected by word knowledge.

[Kendall Thatcher @KThatcherMEd]

I love it!

[Jennifer Seoane (she/her/ella) @jseoane11]

@edutopia We like using "Donuts with Grown-ups" to honor and be inclusive of all children's families (since some children live with guardians, siblings, other family, or friends).

[Kendall Thatcher @KThatcherMEd]

Always bettering.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Love this! 🧡

Sometimes we are quick to put a label on a kid of a ‘struggling reader,’ however we fail to realize that struggling is SITUATIONAL.
If they have prior knowledge of the topic or can make connections to their own interests, then the child is better off than a ‘advanced’ child w/o.
