3 EL Education’s open access free curriculum; their culminating assignments are beautifully aligned with the standards and the type of assignments we see on state tests. #ohedchat@ELeducation
6.1 Vermont Writing Collaborative home of the Writing for Understanding approach used in EL Educations curriculum is excellent for the type of approach I outlined in number one above. Especially the Painted Essay. #ohedchat
2 Students from less affluent homes who attend less affluent schools have less time on the computer and thus less time to develop computer facility such as typing and searching savvy. #ohedchat
5.1 No research I know of has shown a boost from technology so I no answers I trust. There are equity issues here too. While nearly all students have some type of computer in their home, they don’t all have equal access. #ohedchat
2 Another absolutely fabulous resource by the Vermont Writing Collaborative. Annotates actual student writing samples to explain how they meet or don’t meet the standard being addressed. Found here #ohedchat
4.1 Weekly cross subject grade level meetings devoted to teachers sharing assignments, reasons for it and student work samples from it. The Instructional Practice Guide or IPG on https://t.co/AMoDIzykQC is helpful. #ohedchat @achievethecore
2 This helps develop writing fluency ESPECIALLY if done across the content areas. ReadWorks (grew out of curriculum from school ML & I started in Harlem) has article a day sets (five connected articles are read, one a day). #ohedchat@ReadWorks
3.1 I also believe in quick writes as in the Collins writing program. Every day teachers ask a quick question/not graded/not great writing, just thoughts on paper, +/- 5m in response to that question. #ohedchat@JohnCollinsPUSD
@JMitchellELA @edtechgirl#ohedchat It is definitely a "both and" all students should have the opportunity to work with rich complex text --- but with LOTS of support. They also need to read as much as possible that they can read independently in order to grow knowledge, vocabulary and love of reading
