Who needs spelling instruction? All students.
See, recognize, and connect to meaning in spoken language. That’s the process. Integrated spelling instruction is a powerful teaching tool.

"In the absence of learning, teaching did not take place. To say, 'I taught the student, but s/he did not learn' is the equivalent of saying, 'I sold the product to the client but s/he did not buy it.'" Indeed! From the brilliant Gary Germann (1999).

Stop overthinking, if it's God's will, it'll happen and nothing will stop it. if it's not, he has a better plan....
have peace in knowing that.

6️⃣4️⃣ Hours. On Monday mornings, this is how long it has been since some kids have had any positive interaction with an adult. Whether you are a teacher, bus driver, custodian, principal, or _______, how you greet your kids in the morning matters. Be the light! #multiplyexcellence

Black students have supportive homes. The support just might look different from what you’ve been socialized to think is “normal.”

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

This is so important to keep in mind! 🙌

Reading is not innate, it needs to be explicitly taught using programs based on the #SoR . Some kids will get it, but generally speaking, the “explicit teaching of alphabetic decoding skills is helpful for all children, harmful for none, and crucial for some” - Prof Pam Snow

From Really Great Reading

[Tameka @Tameka528]

Continue to be kind and do good, even when some people are not good to you. You’ll find favor with God and man. Remember, when God is for you, everyone else doesn’t matter. Stay focused. Stay encouraged. Keep doing good. No weapon formed against you will prosper. 🙏🏾

[Angel Wilson, Ed.D. @AngelWilson36]

What God has prepared for you, He will preserve for you. No one can take your place, your peace, or your promise.

Get your rest! #FaithfulToTheFinish

“Virtually every school claims that its mission is to help all students learn, but the relevant question to ask is:

What happens in your school when students don’t learn?”

Equity is a #buzzword, but I promise, this was not a #buzzsession. In order to achieve high expectations, Ss need the confidence and support of their T, cheering them on and offering support along the way! ⁦@sheliadbanks⁩ would never let us forget, “All means all, y’all!”

[Kristen Burke Mahlie @kristen__burke]

.⁦@amyygayle⁩ always brings the info! 🙌This session was SEAUX good! 📢#intention is key! Making informed instructional decisions based on Ss data and Ts placement on the learning progression is a solid doc to root all guiding questions to move Ss! ⁦@NIETteach⁩
