We went through this exercise as a team last week, and I highly recommend it as an icebreaker or team building activity. #Questioner #fourtendencies

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'

Some great advice from @_AndyJacks at #VAESP18 about building school culture. I know every student and teacher at his school is living their best life. *Recognize your teachers*Always look for the good*Build trust....BEFORE something bad happens*Bad meetings are culture killers*

[Jen Nelson @MissLexia]

When #vaesp18 happens @GreatWolfLodge, you have to bring kids, right?

#LexiaLearners

[Jen Nelson @MissLexia]

Kids want to be included and care very much about what their peers are doing. Which is why we should always be looking for edtech that supports Tier I, II, III, ELL, and SPED, with the same program, for a more inclusive classroom 🙌🏻 https://t.co/vfcyxcWQ32

Know your why, know your kids, and know your teachers... https://t.co/veMb2cUA28

The question was what advice would you give to school leaders as they embark on a path to #CompetencyEd. The answers: Know Your Kids. Know Your Why. Know Your Community. Remember Your Commitment. https://t.co/iAohZ4ZBKa https://t.co/E51puFQps0

@DDVA13 I've had parents call me about Lexia because their doctor recommended it for their dyslexic child. Most of the public elementary schools in Spotsylvania are using Lexia Core5 as part of their reading curriculum, so you would have that resource for literacy in that district.

[Jen Nelson @MissLexia]

@HCPSNews has a tutoring program like this and Book Buddies, where older students read to kindergartners. My daughter loves this at her elementary school! It helps build confidence, patience, and the desire to be a good role model and help others. https://t.co/jf2Aw7kc5Y

“Fifth graders feel so proud of themselves...because they taught a younger student.” Pairing older students with younger students can help them to build skills and confidence. https://t.co/zqipWpuv16
