One of my favorite parts of my job is sitting with teachers as we grade our student writing assessments Having a high-quality curriculum really matters. Our 9-year-olds are writing about the American Revolution. #WitandWisdom

We are still so excited about being featured in the EdWeek article! #greatminds, #witandwisdom

We have 5 student teachers this semester, and we all got together with cooperating teachers today to do some grounding.Our teachers shined talking about our school and high regard for students. So lucky to work with this incredible group of humans.

We are delighted to have been featured in EdWeek for our work around structured writing.

What a gift this book is to the universe. As an educator, this was a prescient reminder of what so many of our students and families endure. Keep writing Javier, your stories and poetry matter.

Noticing and wondering is such a staple in our ELA Wit and Wisdom work. This is a good push to think about its application in math.

[Margie Pearse @pearse_margie]

We can learn so much about a child's mathematical thinking just be observing and asking.
We will be bringing student work to our next PD and thinking about these questions.

[Erin Conrad @conrad_ee]

Today's inspiration is brought to you by a dedicated teacher committed to finding a way for a student to show us what they know.

“All of those things affected children’s ability to be able to learn,” Reardon said. “So while the remote learning is probably a piece of the story, it’s probably a small piece of all the ways the pandemic affected children’s outcomes.”

It's Friday and my second grader is living his best life playing Legends of Zelda. He just said, “mom, I am orally re-horsing what I am going to say when I win the game.” 🤣 High-quality instructional materials matter.

One additional way that we are highlighting visual arts at our elementary school is through a rotating collection of art prints of famous artists. This year we are highlighting artists Bearden, O'Keefe, Kahlo, Matisse, and Jean Michael Basquiat. #ArtsMatter

What a magical staff we have!

[Erin Conrad @conrad_ee]

@ReadsRosenberg I wrote that down too. Lovely.

[Erin Conrad @conrad_ee]

@ehanford Yes! This is a perfect example of agency. "If not us ,then who? if not now, then when? Our kids demand we get this right. We can.

"If we want that pursuit to bring us bliss, it may be time to create a Declaration of Interdependence. You can feel depressed and anxious alone, but it’s rare to laugh alone or love alone. Joy shared is joy sustained." https://t.co/nW6xx5IGfA

We are proud to serve as a partner to CPRL @ColumbiaLaw on new research that shows it’s time for a new model in education that brings families fully into the instructional process through high-quality instructional materials. https://t.co/DCKACvQBCr

@TeachForAmerica Lean on your curricular materials. Do the intellectual prep. Flashy slide decks don't make a lesson --you do. Know your content. Be yourself. Enjoy the whole journey---:-)

@LeslieLaud @dst6n01 @TNakiaT @mikeinthedelta @TeachForAmerica @NewTeacherCtr @teacher2teacher @keilanigoggins @Remarsh76 @TNTP @826DC @826National Correction...Vermont Writing Collaborative and APM😂

What we believe is that no one is coming to "save us" WE ARE who we are looking for. What is particularly freeing about it is we have decades of research and colleagues across the world to lean on/learn from. #BetterTogether

@LeslieLaud @dst6n01 @TNakiaT @mikeinthedelta @TeachForAmerica @NewTeacherCtr @teacher2teacher @keilanigoggins @Remarsh76 @TNTP @826DC @826National And yes, in terms of the SOR Pd we did that all within our schools. We started with AMP podcasts, and then moved to Liben, Archer, Wellington, Shanahan, Vermont, Writing Workshop and the list goes on. It really is a lifelong journey.
