Thankful for such an incredible
mentor for my girl! 🥰🥎

[Jordan George @jordangeorge_20]

THIS is part of my “why”!

Mentoring Ayla, 11 from Georgia, has been a highlight of my year.

Ayla driving through Columbus + a little winter break time together = very full heart 🤍

Mentoring her this fall has been such a gift. So proud of her always. See you soon!

This. Every child in your classroom matters. ❤️❤️

@MtnViewES 3rd grade teachers spent the day learning with @ReadforAllPeopl! I’m so excited for the team to transfer their knowledge to our students. Thank you to our Foundation for funding this opportunity. ❤️📚 #thebestview

Led my first county PL session today and it was great! I had the best group of 3rd grade teachers to present ELA to and enjoyed their positivity and collaboration! Thank you to @MtnViewES @davistigers87 @TrittSTEAM and @GarrisonMillES #EngageCobb @COBB_ELA

[Ashley Montejo @amontejo132]

This was so much fun! The best way to kick off the year with some incredible team building. I love my school! ❤️ #TheBestView

[Mountain View ES @MtnViewES]

We wrapped up our amazing week with our final book club meetings for our nonfiction study! They gave some great book reviews today! @MtnViewES #ReadAcrossAmerica

[Ashley Montejo @amontejo132]

Book Character Day was a success! I love my team of Neverland adventurers! @MtnViewES #3rdGradeRocks #ReadAcrossAmerica

[Ashley Montejo @amontejo132]

And my students didn’t disappoint, either. Such amazing book character costume choices! I love these little readers! @MtnViewES #3rdGradeRocks #ReadAcrossAmerica

[Ashley Montejo @amontejo132]

We loved Read Across America week @MtnViewES! We loved having a visit from Officer Garcia!

I spoke with a policy leader whose wife teaches HS English.

"She keeps saying that suddenly, the kids she teaches can't read. They can't finish novels. Are you hearing that?"

Me: YES.

[Curriculum Insight Project @CurriculumIP]

The excellent curriculum is not the solution.

The excellent curriculum at the heart of an academically-focused, fully aligned system is the solution.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is an important reminder! 🙌

It's curriculum adoption season, and districts can now choose from eight high-quality, knowledge building options.

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

The Knowledge Matters Campaign recommends 8 ELA curricula for their knowledge-building virtues.

They are not the same as the curricula that are ✅✅✅ on EdReports.

🤔👀

[Ashley Montejo @amontejo132]

This practice makes my head spin. This year, for example in quarter 2 alone, the report card has EIGHTEEN different ELA standards to give an individual grade for in 3rd grade. How is this valid and accurate? 🤯

[Timothy Shanahan @ReadingShanahan]

Should we grade students on the individual reading standards?
