"Talk moves" are sentence starters that help students join a discussion, or invite their peers into a conversation. So simple, but so powerful!

6 simple phrases to help educators and parents de-escalate situations with kids 📉⏬

1. You’re not in trouble (if they truly aren’t).
2. Can I hear your side?
3. I’m not mad at you.
4. Tell me what happened.
5. How can I help?
6. Let’s talk about this.

Which # is your go-to? 🤔

Doctor John had a great concern and question about tiers 2 and 3 levels of reading intervention in middle school.

We need to talk more about this.

See my answer in the below thread.

This chart from Acceleration for All summarizes the important lesson elements. How a teacher answers these questions leads to an understanding of lesson design that engages students and grows learning. https://t.co/1haBBtoWEs

Picture a 7 year old student doing independent work for 40 minutes, then working in a small group with the teacher, then back to doing independent work for another 15 minutes. How can we expect students to direct their own learning for so much time independently?

We came across this (brilliant) TikTok video over the weekend, where @DTWillingham breaks down a strategy to help students connect facts ... a way for them to build knowledge and solidify learning. 📘

I understand states/districts have MTSS mandates, but please do not underestimate or devalue the impact of Tier 1 instruction. If you do, you have a bigger problem than how to schedule Tier 2 & Tier 3 support. We have to start with being clear on what we want Ss to know & do. IJS
