This is a story about a teacher who had a class w 60% of kids reading below grade level. Of those not yet at grade level, 16% were two or three grade levels below.

Instead of teaching w nothing but a basal and it’s leveled readers. This teacher gave them novels

And in the end…

Make Tier 1 the priority
Make Tier 1 the priority
Make Tier 1 the priority

Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is.

Design Tier 1 so that it's all it should be for learners & teachers.

It's the only way things change to benefit everyone.

I don’t know who this man is but protect him at all costs!! He finally broke it down. So much she had no come back! See the God yall worshipping is yourself and your opinions!! I love how he use the word, the one she claims to know in his argument! Sadly they still won’t get it. Y’all think we judging you but it’s by the measure you are judging is what’s happening! And she claim to want to help the students but didn’t want to ask the parents for permission to do it. Where do these women get the audacity? You can’t control our kids!! Please everyone repost this!!

In grades K-2, the focus for comprehension should be on language comprehension. 🧠

“This is the invitation: in the midst of our weaknesses or struggles, will we remain open, aware and willing to hear from Him? When anxiety comes crashing in, remembering that God is with us can lovingly redirect us in a more helpful way.” By Gem Fadling

[Brittany Brakefield @brittbrakefield]

Well…this reminded me how precious and fleeting time is. With my family, especially my babies growing so fast, but also in general. Love God. Love others. And make sure you ❤️ the life you are living.

Another gem found in the Twitterverse to practise our new phonics skills from this week, played similar to Battleship. This game was a hit today!

@BrianMendler On a new campus & have heard a T expect K Ss to work at a whisper level or not talk at all during rotations, really ALL day. It’s like military school & usually same Ss sit out. It’s so frustrating bc this is their intro to school…dialogic talk can start in K and SHOULD! 😔

[Brittany Brakefield @brittbrakefield]

@BrianMendler It is hard for adults to sit at a table with their friends and not talk for as long as sometimes students are expected to! Look around at a PD or a faculty meeting and watch them either whispering or texting. I am just as guilty. But yet we expect children to do it.
