Challenged MHC Language and Literacy student teachers to demonstrate their understanding of skilled reading with this tangled mess of string….not unlike the complex language and literacy needs that many of their future students will come with.
It’s been a great afternoon at the Mental Health Walk/Run in Medicine Hat! Chatted with many about Sashbear Family Connections, looking to further share HOPE and SKILLS. @MinerKirk@SashbearOrg
Great new piece out from @natwexler on the short-comings of teaching reading comprehension without incorporating what we know from cognitive science, eg lack of background knowledge as a burden on working memory, just like poor decoding skills. https://t.co/O2KqtZcRRN
Grade Ones were able to share what they know about writing a story using an SEEI. (State - Elaborate - Exemplify - Illustrate).#cjmlearns#educationtosavetheworld
What stage(s) did you go through with respect to your #SOR journey? I wouldn’t use the word acceptance - I’d use the word advocate! In the beginning I had some cognitive dissonance. I remember my holy $hit moment after listening to @ehanford and @Stewartlaurad’s work.
@marniepaige3@sapdc_info Isn’t it a beautiful book??? Just flipping through it I already see so much that I love. Let’s chat about it when you finish LETRS!
Excited about this morning’s Amazon delivery. Thanks SAPDC for gifting Advisory Council members with a gift card to take a bit of the sting out of this addiction of mine! #SAPDC@sapdc_info#neverstoplearning
No matter how well I think I understand Literacy instruction, Shanahan always helps me to reflect deeper, question more, and tweak plans. Honest reflection is key!
