@PowerOfVitality My special goal for this pandemic is to avoid dessert at least 2 nights a week and be very mindful of the mindless snacking that occurs when one is in quarantine! #healthfyi #inthistogether

It’s What We Do--@Winsor Learning is expanding their mission and helping us ALL be better "science of reading" teachers during COVID. I'm excited for their next free Webinar! #SondaySystem

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

@WinsorLearning Thanks for an excellent FREE Webinar today on executing the Sonday system remotely! As a Sonday newbie, it was great just to refresh my memory and the presenter did a fabulous job of bringing in research while presenting.

When we help teachers develop empathy, we can change our actions. Empathy assists in equity work. #SMLpd #SMLpd https://t.co/WJgw7xQSqr

Teaching teachers how to teach reading https://t.co/21ryHSHYYF via @mprnews-- A shout-out to the coaches, tutors, and schools that are a joy to work with! #ReadingCorps

@GustafsonBrad My "leadership treasures" are honesty, integrity, and loyalty. I will never back down from fighting for a cause or people I believe in. I have a quiet, inner strength that rises to the occasion. #LEADLAP

How many of us have taught a perfect lesson first time out of the gate?! Each day of teaching is our 2nd chance! As a Literacy Coach, my entire profession is devoted to improvement, multiple chances, and growing through mistakes.

@MsBliteracylady Thanks for the inspiration! What a neat idea!

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

@GustafsonBrad No!! I must!! Thanks for the recommendation--I'm tempted to pick up the Emoji themed Uno, though.

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

Mission 3: Every night, our family gathers round the dinner table [tech-free zone] to talk, eat, play a round of Uno, and pray. Food for our mouths and our souls. #reclaimingourcalling #undergroundbookclub

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

Mission #5: Balance concrete, research-based learning that needs to occur (and in my field, very systematic interventions) with "soft skils." I'm preaching fidelity of interventions while still considering the human receiving these! #Reclaimingourcalling #undergroundbookclub

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

I like to use a "Question of the Day" to try to get to know students better. Melissa and Doug make an awesome Dinner Table box of questions, perfect for use in the classroom, too! #undergroundbookclub #reclaimingourcalling

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

I believe that we are bound too much by mandated minutes of instruction and should be free to spend time letting children engage in play and allowing teachers time to converse with, connect with, and challenge students. #reclaimingourcalling

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

@TechNinjaTodd Q4: I've curled up many times and read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst to my kids. Sometimes we need to remember bad days happen, but to be ready to apply grace and move on. #TellYourStory

[Susan Johnson @MrsSJHJohnson]

Proud of our latest NORC study that confirms Reading Corps' impact is substantial, durable, and equitable!! Proud of the tutors and coaches who make this great work possible!

Oops! Helps to add the blog post! I'm spending so much time getting ready for my own coaching and training that I'm not always in tune with the tone I'm setting at home re: back-to-school. #momfirst

I'm spending so much time getting ready for my own coaching and training responsibilities that I'm not necessarily in-tune with the tone I'm setting at home re: back-to-school. Thanks for this blog post, Prairie-Care! #momfirst
