@mrswalsh265 The love and attention that you’ve shared with all of your students, especially K, has inspired him to pursue technology classes in hs-your creativity and dedication are unmatched. Enjoy your well-deserved break with your kiddos!!!

Having all the ingredients for a cake recipe does not equal baking a good cake...

Similarly, those who claim that BL includes phonics, books, spelling, etc, and as a result is an acceptable reading instructional approach do not understand what evidence-based instruction is.

Reading is one area in which the parts do not equal the whole....it is not a matter of patching things together.

If you don't know what evidence-based instruction can look like and what is a more effective reading approach for teaching novice readers please see below.

I'd love to see this entire film to hear, first-hand, how to teach ALL learners so that they feel successful once given the tools to learn.

Modeling instructional approaches in a meaningful manner to help staff take ownership of their learning is crucial for change to occur in teaching-and in learning.

There's not a lot of research on dysgraphia yet, but there are some early signs you can look out for—and some tactics you might adopt to help kids express themselves.

[Christie Kleinowski @KleinowskiC]

Kids need to see teachers as real people...

[Dyslexia Training Institute @DyslexiaTrainer]

It's okay for your students to know that you fail at things too! Failure it not fatal! #dyslexia https://t.co/J438Vz2Ui5

[Christie Kleinowski @KleinowskiC]

Starting to do more research on this...

Advocating for your kids is so important...and teaching them how to advocate for their own learning needs is equally important!

"children who are poor hear a smaller number of words with more limited syntactic complexity and fewer conversation-eliciting questions, making it difficult for them to quickly acquire new words and to discriminate among words" (p. 5).
