It is not courageous to accept the status quo. It is courageous to stand up, step up, speak up for kids each and every day. --@DrMaryHoward

Children need time for strategic figuring out. If we are constantly rushing them because we don’t have time, they will never develop agency #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
TIME Matters! Reading is not a race. We want to take time when kids are reading and allow them to linger. (referencing Tom Newkirk’s The Art of Slow Reading #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
We can’t imagine reading without talking and adult readers. So why would we want to create an instructional setting where that happens. Reading should never be separated from talk!
Oh yeah!
#balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
Talk matters! Meaning making floats on a sea of talk. What becomes possible when children think and talk together?
And how will we ever know the answer to that question if we don’t open up the possibilities. #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
I was so glad that I did not funnel them to my understanding of the text because thenI would have missed the brilliance that my children brought to the experience without me. #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
How can we help children discover their passions, dream, act engage, show empathy so that they know that their voices matter.
#balancedlit2018 #G2Great Maria Nichols
Children matter! Our children (not our schedules, programs, or standards) drive our decisions.
OUR CHILDREN!

Owning the learning: Joy matters! We truly immerse ourselves in learning that brings us great joy! There is so much joy in OUR learning with peers so we need to have that same joy in our classrooms so we see expressions of PURE JOY!

Thinking well together leads to thinking well alone, Peter Johnson
FABULOUS session by Debra Crouch. We thought well together and now we can leave this session and begin to think well alone. #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Debra Crouch
When I’m trying to teach something in shared reading it’s all eyes on text in a single text (not each has a text). #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Debra Crouch
Don’t rush the first read aloud. It will become all the wonderful things you can do later, but that first read will never come again. Linger in it! #balancedlit2018 #G2Great Debra Crouch
