Science of Reading

[Warpaint Journal @WarpaintJournal]

A generation of kids growing up without reading books isn’t just a generation that reads less — it’s a generation slowly losing the muscle for empathy. Because books aren’t just stories. They’re training grounds for imagination, for slipping into someone else’s life, someone else's grief, joy, fear, or mess. They teach you to sit with feelings that aren't yours. Without that, how do you learn to care about people who aren't like you? How do you build a world where you pause before judging, listen before reacting, understand before dismissing?

I’m going to be attending a virtual conference called Connect 2023. It’s brought on by educators around the world to ignite inspiration, foster growth, and energize educators for the school year. There are going to be amazing keynote speakers, including Dave Burgess!

When a teacher gets excited about a program or a method and invests a ton of time implementing it, it's unsurprising and predictable they will report that their students loved it! Let's not forget there are novelty effects for the students + confirmation bias from the teacher.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. These classes are just as important for overall education and may be their favorite classes and one of the reason they actually enjoy school.

Did you know that marigolds are known as companion plants? They help the plants around them grow! They even have a way of naturally repelling bugs! When gardeners plant marigolds, the flowers around them grow beautifully.

YOU can be a marigold for the educators around you, helping them grow & become amazing teachers & leaders. ��🌻🌷🌺🌸

Someone asked me what I do w/ spelling inventories, skill checks, cycle assessments…

“Do you save all of it?”

NO!

Get yourself a teammate that is a master organizer and data extraordinaire like @mrjergenskinder
I’m older but I still want to be like him when I grow up. 😅

Students may appear engaged—creating ornate dioramas, glitzy posters, exploding volcanos, or other "busy" projects, for example—but ultimately, they do very little actual learning or thinking about their learning. https://t.co/IkTZuyqsDr

Which one doesn't belong? #wodb
(And why?)

Go on, have a go - and reply with your answer!

[Education Minnesota @EducationMN]

Minnesota's classrooms are the sixth most crowded in the nation. We can't expect educators to deliver for our state's children with a 1:30 teacher-student ratio.

Lowering class sizes is a proven way to improve student outcomes and close the opportunity gap. Pass HF2619! #mnleg

[Education Minnesota @EducationMN]

Students need more teachers of color -- and mentorship programs are a key retention strategy. We also need $ to reduce mental health and special education caseloads that are driving out good educators.

We’re tired of hearing "we can’t afford it," Osseo union leaders say. #mnleg
