A Hutterite learning and teaching in a multi-grade classroom in rural Manitoba. Loving it!

Time for another book giveaway inspired by @LoriEmilson's upcoming free PD on picture books on Saturday.

Retweet and like for the chance to win a copy of The Grizzly Mother by Brett Huson (MB addresses only please).

@RCGWinnipeg @pennykittle Her passion for literacy and learning really shone through as she shared best practices and the voice & work of her students. She definitely inspired me to read more YA & raise the bar of my own teaching in middle years. Thank-you for making this possible.

@hegartymaths Hi! Is HegartyMaths available to teachers/students outside the UK?

“A great voice has been lost but the message goes on.” This is what @RaviZacharias said when he attended my father @BillyGraham’s funeral in 2018. His words still ring true today after his own passing. “Our confidence is in the person of Jesus Christ... That’s who we preach.”

"I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns,
and Jesus crucified for me." - It Is A Thing Most Wonderful (hymn by William Walsham How)

@ravizacharias reflects on how the cross reminds us how valuable we are to God.

“Matching texts to student levels doesn’t improve achievement.” “Frustration level placements led to greater learning gains in reading.” Research shared by @ReadingShanahan. I wonder how many literacy teachers are shocked by this.

Dr. Timothy Shanahan pushing against what we think we know; dispelling myths and charming clarity. He doesn’t disappoint as we consider teaching reading with complex text. @ReadingShanahan #PlainTalkNOLA #AlabamaLiteracyTeam @Alabama_Reading @cdlteach

[Jonathan Porter @JHC_Porter]

As true in the humanities as it is in science. If you drill the 'nuts and bolts', fluency in more complex or abstract tasks becomes so much easier.

Questions vary in how much you expect pupils to think. They also vary in energising they can be for a lethargic class. Choose a strategy carefully to suit the class’ needs. #MichaelaScience @oliviaparisdyer

[Chris Stahl @chrisjstahl]

So encouring to see the common sense spreading from schools like Michaela, one of the top performing schools in Britain right now. Manitoba teachers, I encourage you to pay attention.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Come visit Michaela.

Visit all of the classrooms, any time of day.

You won’t ever see a chrome book or an iPad.

Lots of pens and paper instead ! 😋

@Henderson204 @johnmighton Hi Matt. Enjoyed your review and planning on getting the book. Is JUMP math currently being used by math teachers in your division. If so, to what extent?

[Chris Stahl @chrisjstahl]

The Hospital for Sick Children and OISE research concludes that JUMP Math students showed significant improvements... https://t.co/C1ktkIuD6M

I just finished Reading Apprenticeship training, so I’m interested to see how this will tie into RA. It seems like it’s going to be a good extension of what we’ve been doing the last two days.

Looking forward to meeting 400 fab educators tomorrow for dozens of high yield low prep reading comprehension ideas that work!#ASCD #MTSPDday

[Chris Stahl @chrisjstahl]

I was expecting a proportion but this student found a shortcut. I was momentarily stumped by his strategy but I see now what he did. Do you get it? #JUMPmath

[Kelvin Goertzen @kelvin_goertzen]

Wonderful supper last night with Dr. John Mighton, founder of Jump Math. Great conversation, including how he got to play Matt Damon’s math tutor in the 1997 movie, Good Will Hunting. #MBPoli

"God’s vision for education is a beloved community of teachers and students, not a testing factory. We don’t fund our schools because they hit certain test scores. We fund our schools because it’s a Gospel mandate & a moral imperative." #txed #txlege #HB3 https://t.co/KOoI4kkMmY

[Chris Stahl @chrisjstahl]

Registered in December already and really looking forward to the summit. I’m thinking it’s going to be my best PD this year. #expectations

[MB Reading Assoc. @mra_mb]

Just over two weeks until the Adolescent Literacy Summit. Engaging speakers, excellent break out sessions, plus publisher displays, and author signings. If you haven't registered yet, there is still time! Don't miss out!

Stop Bill S-206! Do not criminalize 82% of Canadian parents. @keep43ca @citizengocanada https://t.co/3ZsO6047Oj

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Standard misconception in teaching. They cannot believe a subject like maths or history could be intrinsically interesting. So they dumb down content to play games, make it ‘fun’ and they think this is engaging. In fact, it’s boring, cause only superficial engagement is possible

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

This is the BEST> Anyone saying 'Rosenshine' is nothing new is absolutely correct. Here's his paper (typed) from 1982. Six Teaching Functions.. This ain't new folks... it just maybe got lost along the way?!
