I asked ChatGPT to use my interview with @cat3y to design a differentiated lesson and behavior interventions so that a student with a disability can be successful in the general education classroom. wow https://t.co/uUQndD2iVZ

Dept. of Ed has cut off funds to schools that spread their COVID relief funds out rather than spending them quickly. These schools had already budgeted & signed contracts for things like tutoring, construction projects, & mental health supports. https://t.co/VcOBO0du4r

Morphology is cool

[Mr Leyshon @RyonWLeyshon]

Morphology has (rightly so) become a hot topic in recent years. When accompanied by solid phonological foundations, morphological instruction has the potential to dramatically improve spelling, decoding and reading comprehension.

But, do morphemes always behave themselves?

No…

Using the Unit Organizer in a digital or in person classroom https://t.co/RD0JMlEpcq

[Michelle R. Davis @abc4success]

Designing and implementing teacher professional development sessions are just like teaching students in the classroom. I have been designing PD for a private school to set up their MTSS framework. A three part thread. If I can figure out how to do a thread correctly! Let's go.

[Michelle R. Davis @abc4success]

In this regard, it is critical to post, state and review the learning objectives for the day's lesson and map that to the overall unit of study. This oldie but goodie is the Unit Organizer Routine from Univ. of Kansas Unit Organizer Routine | Strategic Instruction Model (SIM™)

[Michelle R. Davis @abc4success]

In the classroom, this is a student work product. Maybe students draw a diagram, take a quiz, verbally share, interview another, do a demonstration, sing a song, act something out. These work products are easy to differentiate. Teachers seek student feedback in a self evaluation.

[Michelle R. Davis @abc4success]

3/3 Evaluation of my process. What do the teachers value from the PD? Was it valuable why or why not? What work product can I see, grade and reflect on that makes me sure that what I taught was learned?

[Michelle R. Davis @abc4success]

The classroom version of this step is to give students a pretest, probe/quiz, warm up, organizer/do now to check what they already know about what I am about to teach, and asking the students what they would like to learn or if they have any questions for the lesson.
