I learned that @rachelcinis has some compelling #CI literature!! She is also a cool person and a great roommate!

Think of your lesson plan as a website. YOU (the teacher) might be thinking about the CODE (language structures), but the USER (the student) should never see the code: they should see what the code creates. Focus on MEANING not FORM #ACTFL18 @CarolGaab

We must teach students where they are to get them where we want them to be. #growthmindset

Day1 #cardtalk. I was weary of trying #CI but it was the best class all day! And administration popped in during it too!! #firstyearteacher

Jason Fritze on letting go of correcting non native-like utterances from students. Instead, ask “does it communicate?” If so, celebrate! #expectlowaccuracyforalongtime #ntprs18

I’ve been around thousands of students in my 25 years of education. Some kids have more money than others, and some have had different life experiences than others. But they also have a lot in common: Every kid wants to be respected, to feel connected, and to be successful.

@a_giedd Yeah it's good at providing all the learning goals, standards, assessment criteria, and can do. I found a free pdf of it online so search for that!

Yes please send me this doc! It's so interesting.

Teaching Intro to Span and intermediate Span this year. I've decided what to do with intro but not the intermediate. It will have Ss in year 2 of SPAN (from intro class) amd lower level heritage speakers as their year 1. Where to start? Resources? #langchat #CI #spanishteacher

[Rachel Martinez @MRTA_martinez]

@a_giedd For intro I am going to follow natural approach to the year as a guide. Also square peg in a round hole is a helpful book for figuring out standards and can do with #CI What is this alphabet technique called? I'm interested.

As new teachers embark on their first years in the classroom, they need support. This can be as simple as showing them around the school or as involved as helping them respond to challenging behaviors from students. #edleadership
