@Mrneilhistory Try @NewsLitProject They have some incredible materials directly focused on this need. I have just started digging in and will use the summer to get my mind around all that is available.

Basing a teacher's effectiveness on one eval, makes as much sense as basing a child's achievement on a standardized test.

When I was a high school English teacher, I was constantly blown away by how willing and how eager my students were to grapple with the difficult topics and questions that arose from books we read. Young people are capable of far more than many adults often give them credit for.

[Terry McHugh @WHSLiteracy]

@KellyGToGo Thank you, Kelly!

[Terry McHugh @WHSLiteracy]

@GiancarloSopo Agreed.

I’m sure this will show up in many future teacher PDs on writing instruction.

If you want to be totally inspired and filled with ideas about teaching and reading and kids, just give yourself the gift of listening to this conversation @pennykittle and @KellyGToGo had with @donalynbooks about reading: https://t.co/86qsRm0Jr5

Love this idea!

For an activity, I have my students create a resume and do a job interview as their favorite fictional character, and the resumes are pretty incredible. 🍎❤️

[Terry McHugh @WHSLiteracy]

@herstoryking @nico1e @Mitchgrom @ChoicesProgram @BrownUniversity @PearDeck This is well done. Thank you very much.

[Terry McHugh @WHSLiteracy]

@nico1e @Mitchgrom @ChoicesProgram @BrownUniversity How did it go with your students? Any insights will be helpful as we prep to use this on Monday with grade 7 and 8.

I coach teachers. I have worked in public schools for 33+ years.

I am convinced that I’ve never seen so many of them this tired, this overextended, this alone. They feel unappreciated, unsupported and unheard. Our teachers are hurting.
