I'm an Instructional supervisor for Germantown Municipal School district in TN. Instill a love of reading in a child and the learning will follow.

Farmington Elementary teachers are deepening their understanding of how to grow strong, confident writers. @GMSDPd @gmsdk12 @WitWisdomELA

EL Education Starting Strong PD in Las Vegas is amazing. The thought of growing a child’s character while growing their minds is my favorite part! #ELEducation @GMSDPd @gmsdk12

Our job as educators is to provide a big enough jar for our students to spread their wings and the strength they need to fly. (Start watching at 51:12)

Writing enables students to generate their best thinking in its most effective form (National Commission on Writing 2003; Sundeen, 2015). That's why writing and speaking constitute the most sought-after skill set in business and industry...(ASCD) Keep on writing GMSD! @GMSDPd

How should grammar be taught? Third graders in Brianna Gould’s class at Farmington Elementary rotated through editing stations to ensure their writing was ready to be published. Grammar that is embedded in writing makes grammar meaningful to students. @gmsdk12 @GMSDPd ExpLearning

Students deserve to read beautifully written and worthy texts. If it is literature, let it be great literature. If it is informational text, let it teach students new words and new ideas in sophisticated ways. Let it, always, be worthy of their time and effort to read. EL Educ.

Regardless of grade level and academic background, students will change their behaviors to fit into the culture of a high-level classroom when they are guided and supported to do so. (EL Education) @GMSDPd @gmsdk12

Keep on reading to our students! Data shows that children of any age who regularly have books read to them score higher on state and national literacy tests. (Laura Varlas/ASCD) @GMSDPd @gmsdk12

We argue that the ultimate goal of reading is to become more than we are at the moment; to become better than we are now; to become what we did not even know we wanted to become. (Beers & Probst) @GMSDPd @gmsdk12

[Dianne Stovall @dstovall82]

Fifth graders in Katie Faught’s class at Riverdale utilized Coming to a Consensus strategy to identify the author’s opinion. @GMSDPd @gmsdk12

[Dianne Stovall @dstovall82]

GMSD 3-5 ELA teachers combining reading, writing and grammar. @GMSDPd @gmsdk12
