@ericajacksonhil@UvondaMitchell I agree that diversity is needed because the interests of students are different as well as the backgrounds from which students come.
Media Specialist at my school stated she was not aware of a literacy plan for our school. She is currently purchasing new book titles monthly. She wants to start a literacy club for middle school in which I will be a part of. @UvondaMitchell and #CF20CultureofLiteracy
@JerryLeeHenry1@UvondaMitchell This an unfortunate problem. When these assessments are not taken seriously, we can’t effectively plan our instruction. We reteach what we don’t need to.
We use Star as our assessment tool. It is administer at the beginning of year and following Christmas break. We use the data to assign remediation using Istation. Library books are checked out by students based on Lexie information. @UvondaMitchell and #CF20QualityAssessments
@whitney_kimbrel@UvondaMitchell This is the first time I heard of the site. I really appreciate this avenue for learning new ways of enhancing student learning. Looking forward to using this site in my class.
@countryque@UvondaMitchell Quizizz is great. It is easy to use and the data can be used as a formative assessment or summative assessment. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Georgia Virtual School is a resource I use in the class to access videos that students can use. Study Island is another digital resource used by students as well. @UvondaMitchell and #cf20digitalresources
@blankenship_mrs@UvondaMitchell The resourcefulness of covering up the words to identify smaller words is great. They can figure it out given the opportunity.
@DwaramPrabhu@UvondaMitchell Most kids want to know the relevance of what we are teaching so we have find something they can associate with the vocabulary.
@whitney_kimbrel@UvondaMitchell I like the idea of the sticky note day as well. I am looking forward to seeing what words they use to define the vocabulary.
The E-book I use for class highlights the vocabulary for the lesson. Students read aloud and must use vocabulary during class and group discussions. Students also write vocabulary in notebooks to reference. #CF20VocabularyIdeas and @UvondaMitchell
@feefer128@UvondaMitchell This supports my thought in math that you find what you know to figure out what you don’t know. This is especially true for word problems.
@trisha_0920 @UvondaMitchell This is a great preassessment tool since we are relying on some prior knowledge. Students can check answers throughout course of lesson.
