New teachers: What are you struggling with this year? What are some needs that you have?
@catherine_root_ and I want to help!

Any teachers out there in need of free resources? I developed a unit plan for Louis Sachar's "Holes," which was designed for 6th graders and can be adapted to fit the needs of students 5th-8th! Check out the link for all the documents! https://t.co/yllfqUdFoY

Check out this free unit plan for The Giver created by Bri Phillips! It is thorough, detailed, and gets readers involved, engaged, and excited about reading!

Recently I was given the opportunity to write a unit plan on the book The Giver by @LoisLowryWriter. The Giver is a wonderful book with fantastic themes throughout it. In my unit I created a student packet which harps on the books themes,

It is crucial that US schools teach the history of all Ss. If we want ALL our Ss to see themselves in the curriculum, we need to highlight more than just the achievements of historic white people. #gccedu

The number of homeless K-12 Ss has increased 70% over the last decade (NCHE), and ESL Ss account for 16% of all Ss in homeless situations. It is so important that we as teachers stand behind our Ss and support them in all walks of life. https://t.co/FmKyEaEVnV

Thanks @DrJHarmon for your tips on winning over your Ss on the first day - don’t start with the rules and “no’s” for the year. Instead, get to KNOW your Ss and make them feel welcomed! #ecet2nextgen

How exciting to hear that Baltimore schools are not only enrolling many immigrant students, but also are seeking to serve them! 😍 Ts must recognize the need for curriculum change to better serve their ELLs and actively work to make that change #gcceduc

Ss with physical disabilities need to develop respect for themselves and feel that they have a place in their communities just like everyone else. We can help Ss do this by building a community of learners and working to provide everything a student needs to succeed #gccedu

Microsoft learning tools is an awesome tool to help students improve their reading skills and comprehension. The tool allows students to listen to a book being read, block out lines so only one is available at a time, and much more! #gccedu #specialeducation

It is so important to never assume that your students will perform the same way today that they did yesterday - your students are human beings, not machines! #gccedu

#gccedu Asking parents "What do YOU think would be a good next step for helping your child to succeed?" is a great way to get parents involved in their children's learning process.
