Learner. Educator. Coach. Thought Partner. Striving to be a little bit better than I was yesterday.

No, not RBG. What a colossal loss. What a lioness. She taught us all how to fight, how to fight cancer, how to fight for justice, how to fight for our lives.

[Michelle Becker @MJBecker9]

Gratitude to our principals, too!#WeAreFHPS

[Nell K. Duke @nellkduke]

Sending gratitude to all the teachers working so hard to try to find ways to reach children in these difficult circumstances. May the force be with you.

Teachers, librarians, & families - Many kids will be missing school in the coming weeks due to COVID-19 closures, so I've put together a library of resources for learning at home - read-alouds, writing lessons,drawing demos,etc. All free - spread the word! https://t.co/7GTTZYdDqA

Lucy is holding a webinar for teachers on March 19 to help teachers connect and brainstorm how to navigate school closures. Here's the link to sign up and more info about timing: https://t.co/lEAtvZB1Ef. #tcrwp

So much of reading comprehension is influenced by a reader's prior knowledge. The more you know, the better you can read. That's why I have been giving my students an article of the week for years. I have now posted the 1st one for the 2018-2019 year here: https://t.co/PlMI1dwYir

Identifying the essential standards for every subject and every course is at the heart of the work that PLCs do. Here’s one strategy that PLCs can use to aid in this important work: https://t.co/WxRZVKLjlq @tmany96 #atPLC #edleadership

Hat tip to @kentisd Literacy Coaches Network for the opportunity to learn with @pennykittle. “The quest to increase engagement & practice in reading and writing: volume, choice, modeling, feedback.” Great day of learning!

[Michelle Becker @MJBecker9]

An amazing day learning with @pennykittle and FHPS colleagues. Penny’s words to hang on: “Teaching well sometimes feels like an act of rebellion. Teaching well is an act of love.”

Sage advice. These “secrets” can help us build equity and independence in our classrooms. https://t.co/fbAfDeEp7c

@SNIrizarry @LloydGingerich @LynetteBrander @mhoeksema Another point I will be sure to add to my arsenal. Keep busting the myths!

@FountasPinnell What a relevant and respectful way to celebrate student progress with parents.

[Fountas & Pinnell @FountasPinnell]

Students’ reading levels have no place in teacher evaluation or on report cards to be sent home to parents. Too much emphasis on levels can lead to misconceptions on the part of families. #FPLiteracy

[Michelle Becker @MJBecker9]

@CatchingReaders @mhoeksema Agreed. We need to have these important conversations. Let's grow passionate, habitual, critical readers.

[Michelle Becker @MJBecker9]

@SNIrizarry @mhoeksema @BetsyKoop @ChristinaMendo1 @LynetteBrander Great reminder that learning is a journey for coach as much as coachee.

[Michelle Becker @MJBecker9]
