@SustainTeaching Love this! ❤️

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@SustainTeaching It is both. Students need to be writing more but in all subjects. It can’t be just English teachers—this isn’t a new idea! Since writing is such a core skill, quality matters, too!

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@SustainTeaching My colleague and I are working on this now. We believe teaching writing conceptually will provide the scaffolding for students and the resources for teachers to allow all students to learn to write fluently and effectively.

@jimknight99 😂 I need the same!! I just love having books around me and can’t keep up with my interest and buying habits.

@FireflyAirlines How can I contact you? I’m in Singapore and the number of the website does not work.

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@leeannjung I love this!

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

This is WHY we do it (excuse the typo!)

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

This is what we do it! Bonding with a new student and building strong relationships. #outdoored #uwcsea #relationshipsmatter #learningtogether #tioman #EducationMatters

This is a great reminder! I just had a coaching conversation where my colleague asked me what she should do in a certain situation. So I have a suggestion. She didn’t agree and she told me. 😁 So we put our heads together to explore other options and she found one that suited her

@teachbk Sounds like there’s POTENTIAL for some student self-reflection here. Maybe it’s more about the way that it’s done. What if it were in their notebooks and used as a point to reflect on their week and how they contributed to the community?

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

Questions are so powerful but can be seen as threatening. Build the culture of question and then model how powerful questions are for others.

Asking good questions is a leader’s superpower.

Here are six ways leaders can be more intentional about how and when they ask questions.

Yes! So important to remember this!

Character counts! 🙌

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@leeannjung This is so difficult for teachers and we need to ensure we provide the learning required for teachers so they can do the right thing!

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@leeannjung Ooops. Sorry for the typo!! I am amazed ….

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@leeannjung But I’m amazing when teacher just try to give my daughter new strategies for her to try. It’s so hard to look at the piece of paper we worked hard to create and find that it just might be flawed. Fix the assessment not the student?

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

@TalksWTeachers Those amazing kiddos! They astonish me every day with how much they know and how much they want to learn. ❤️

[Sarah Gradek (Harger) @SarahLHarger]

So thrilled to have completed this institute. 10 months of learning and growing as an educator. Concept-based learning is powerful and meaningful for students. Can’t wait to dig in with teachers and students! #CBCI #conceptbasedcurriculum #professionallearninginternational

@cpsillides Well said Claire!
