Congratulations to our very own Educational Development Specialist Anne-Marie Rollo for being invited to speak at the SSCL’s 10th annual President Lecture Series on Leadership in Teaching and Learning 🧠

I helped train our elementary school teaching staff how to use the @DIBELS8 reading screeners to assess and support our K-8 students ... make a copy and use the slides below to learn or deliver your own PD for your staff:

I didn’t learn this as a kid OR as a pre-service teacher. As a voracious reader I quickly learned what “looked right”and used the spelling patterns accordingly, but it’s refreshing to know the rules now, decades into my teaching career, to make literacy easier for all students!

[Elaine @mrsmacteach33]

At A Level, I use 'yes/but/so' which sounds like a TWR thing, but it's not really

It's a thinking prompt first, then a writing prompt

It structures debate, shows students ideas are negotiable & that shifting viewpoint means different things in the text will swim into focus 1/6

If that old instrument of yours is sitting in the closet or basement gathering dust, consider donating it to a budding musician! 🎵

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

@JohnsonRussBlvd Would your class be interested in trading post cards or some other form of sharing/collaboration? We will not start the book until the end of the month but I am sure we could find a way to make something work if you’re interested!

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

@dbhiguera Hi! I am wondering if you can help my grade 6 class connect with another class who is reading The Last Cuentista? We would love to have pen pals or to share a Flipgrid with another class to talk about TLC! 😊#thelastcuentista

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

@jennygustavson @Maine_West Are any of the teachers reading TLC with their classes? I am looking for other classes who are reading the book to connect with!

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

Today was “dress like a teacher” day at @BourgonjeSchool and some of the teachers decided to dress like students. We were told we fit right in! 😂

@scottstp @Proctor_Lisa Hi Scott! May I ask what app you use to record podcasts? And where you post them?

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

Has anyone created podcasts with their students? I am looking for tips/advice/resources used.

[M. Christensen @MCC_teach]

I am planning on using the book #TheLastCuentista as a novel study this year and I’m wondering if there are any other classes who are reading it and would like to connect? #spsdlearn #sasked #mglit #elachat

@MrsBClarkson @goldsworthy_art @fsd38 @tv_school I love everything about this! Beautiful art kinders!! 😍
