A blank slate for September! Excited to also have the space available over by the window with the teacher desk gone. Plus, I❤️❤️❤️our caretaking staff & their willingness to embrace my very “Aviva-ish” map.😂(I’ll figure out the desks & chairs in August.) Happy summer, everyone!
@avivaloca I did the same thing! There is no teacher spot anymore- if you can see it and reach it, then you can touch it. That’s my goal. Teacher stuff is at home where it belongs♥️
@MrZachG In my own teacher prep, it was always emphasized that teaching only occurred if learning also occurred. If they hadn't learned it, I had not actually taught it. I may have "covered" it or talked about it, but for it to have been teaching, there had to be learning.
It looks to me like this eager learner needs a new goal! I love that problem 😁 Tier 2 instruction is undervalued. @acadience screening is so important. Students can’t wait for us to figure it out on our own💕 @wrdsb@Templeton_WRDSB@IDA_Ontario@ONlit_social
“Kids who need extra help get one-on-one tutoring in addition to the daily 90-minute reading class. The tutors include staff, community volunteers and local high school and college students.”
Hot take: High voltage tutoring works and we should all take note!!

And P.S. “Children should be seated so they are facing the source of the information: the teacher and the board” during lessons…despite the fact that many teachers have been misled otherwise.
“It is showing empathy - not cruelty - to assign students to the seat that maximizes their attention, not least because it relieves them from the immense social pressure of having to choose between friends and learning.”
So many practical ideas for instruction from @MrZachG!
To develop strong foundational language and literacy skills, students need consistent practice.
These materials support educators to empower parents and caregivers to support language and literacy development.
