An article I co-authored was published in Literacy Today. It’s about how brain research supports using the repeated reading of songs & poems to help readers improve fluency. Ann Kay was the article's main author & @TimRasinski1 was the other co-author. https://t.co/xDbE2ibg0M
When children engage in play, they learn concepts such as sharing, cooperation, negotiation, conflict resolution, camaraderie & physical skills. It helps children experience empathy & determine which course of action to take in any given situation. #edchat https://t.co/Vhq4iIbMzu
Remember when they said we need state tests & report cards because otherwise teachers & principals would slack off?
Well, testing & state report cards are canceled and all I see are teachers & principals working harder than ever before.
Let’s trust our professionals.
Surround yourself with people who challenge you and inspire you to grow! There’s always something we can be learning to be better teachers, better leaders, and better human beings. #edchat
