A10 I have found in my teaching so far that my students learn much better when their peers are helping them. I think that it's as simple as using questioning in the class so that students can answer and put it in a context that resonates better with their classmates! #tcrwp

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

Incredibly insightful outlook from the #tcrwp Twitter chat tonight. We need to always make sure that we're celebrating the growth that our students are making!

A9 While it helps to scaffold our actual instruction and guided practice, I also think that small group work allows for the feedback our students need to feel a little bit of success and gain the confidence to be independent! #tcrwp

A7 I'm also not currently using PUoS, but I think that it could be good information to help improve my instruction for all student levels! #tcrwp

@KeidelTabitha @NoelleThiering A8 Sticky notes are actually my key tool as well! They are so helpful! I like to use folders to keep things clear and simple as well. #tcrwp

@LiteracyCoachKS This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing!

@BrittanyNocito A6 Going off what Brittany said here, my favorite activity is also a shared reading. We call it a "Book Club", and we discuss books that they are reading in class! Our focus is on improving reading and collaboration skills. #tcrwp

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

A5 I always try to write things down the moments that they happen, otherwise I will definitely forget! I have a notebook and before meeting with students, I'll make a chart for easy reference! #tcrwp

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

A4 This is something that I'm working on! Right now I try to incorporate collaborate activities to allow them to "pair-share" and discuss what they just learned before they practice it on their own! #tcrwp

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

A3 I think that this is another great way to incorporate collaborative learning. If I want to keep what I say concise and to keep it student focused, I try to direct it into a question for their peers so that they can work together! #tcrwp

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

I think that this is something that is so important for all teachers to remember! We're not teaching just to teach the content but for each individual student. We need to go back to being observers to learn how we can meet their needs!

[Tiffany Neal M.Ed. @TiffanyNeal81]

A2 While at Coaching of Writing, we spent a good deal of time being silent observers, taking note of student strengths and areas for growth (or misunderstanding). I think we tend to overplan, when slowing down and observing can give us all the clues we need to teach. #TCRWP

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

A2 I think that taking advantage of start time for formative assessment could be beneficial. My host teacher and I also have a mentor text for easy on-the-go reference! Although this is something that I would love to hear how others keep prepared! #TCRWP

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

@TiffanyNeal81 I love how you have genre-based writing toolkits. That's such a clever idea for organization!

[Ashley Pendleton @AshleyPendlet16]

A1 Other than some sticky notes and a notebook, I try to keep my things organized online! #tcrwp

Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, and I'm an English Education student at William Woods University. I'm so excited to be joining the chat tonight! #tcrwp

@JosephDavisEDU A3: One area that I’m working on this semester is implementing different styles of opportunities to respond! I think that allowing my students to respond more will make my teaching more effective! #WWU411

@JosephDavisEDU A2: My greatest success so far has been just gaining the confidence to start implementing classroom management tactics! Be able to finally feel like I can actually do that is something I’m really proud of!
