My favorite from today!

[Dr. Kristopher J. Childs (he/him) @DrKChilds]

STOP pulling children out of Tier 1 instruction. Ensuring all children receive Tier 1 instruction should ALWAYS be the priority.

[🌍 Dr. Vαℓєηтιηα Gσηzαℓєz ♥️🙌🏽 @ValentinaESL]

If English learners only feel comfortable talking in small group "pull out" time, we need to question why.

What conditions are raising the affective filter in mainstream classrooms? How can we ensure that students-ALL students- feel safe to speak in any classroom?

Talk less. Say more.

Had a great time with Pets On Wheels today. Our EL students really responded to the animals!

I used to do long assessments with lots of questions, but now I do just a couple questions accompanied by a screencast (or conversation) where the student explains their thinking.

Guess which one gives me more meaningful information.

It was fantastic seeing a former and successful student share his experiences and give advice to a group of EL newcomers. Fostering mentorship is so valuable for our EL students!

Leadership is not about being in charge.

Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

We don’t pick and choose which students to support and advocate for.

It’s every student.
Everyday.
All year.

I delivered curriculum to child that moved and moved again and who's family hasn't been able to get to campus to pick it up. Yet he's been logging in to Zoom each day and submitting what work he can digitally. Don't tell me our kids don't have grit.

[Samuel Taylor @SamTaylorEdu]

Always nice to see our student athletes play in such a beautiful gym. I’m also very impressed by the safety measures all are taking.

Teaching reading comprehension has never been easy. These tools, which ease the burdens of virtual teaching while taking advantage of its unique affordances, can help.

Glad to be back and seeing learning (and social distancing) happening!
