@MrMatthewAIS Ok, so I just read that and proceeded to have ‘Annie’ songs stuck in my head all day 🙄

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

@room7dk Yes! Get the students’ stories into the class libraries, there’s no better way to build excitement, and to prove to them that they are writers and authors.

@traceyab1 @tes @halfon4harlowMP @Judith_Doyle9 Love this idea...100% engagement, no pressure, just fun!

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

I couldn’t agree more! Let’s stop making students and parents see reading as a class competition to get to the ‘highest’ level. #FPLiteracy #bbsliteracy #tlcbbs

[Fountas & Pinnell @FountasPinnell]

Levels are not for families, children, or report cards. Here are some tips for communicating student progress and supporting literacy learning at home WITHOUT sharing levels. #FPLiteracy

@tlcbbs @Tahani818 @MaryBethAkers1 It’s going to be a great year! #tlcbbs #bbslearns

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

@FountasPinnell So true! Unfortunately, too many teachers are still using the assessment as something that must be done to keep Admin happy as well as measure of each child’s success. Used correctly, the F&P assessment is a whole toolbox rolled into one!

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

@BurkinsandYaris As a teacher, I always remind myself that the one doing the work is the one doing the learning. Step back

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Yes, yes, yes! This is SO important and so often overlooked. https://t.co/pTOhMFqVlq

The best feedback is actionable, specific, and encourages a positive climate of learning and collaboration.

So very true. It’s heartbreaking seeing what some people are forced to endure on a daily basis #stopbullying @bullyinguk https://t.co/hZUnTUB4YO

[Bullying UK @bullyinguk]

#WednesdayWisdom #ChooseKindness #StopBullying Be a part of the change!

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Let’s start making schools accountable for upholding their anti bulling policies. Policies that are published, yet are never adhered to when bulling with their school is rife. #bullying #StopBullying #notunderthecarpet

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Come on people! Let’s take a look at the research. Put giving Ss quality, timely feedback into practice. #teaching #bestpractice

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

I love this idea @ianaddison @janeconsidine @TeachPrimary https://t.co/iA9Ypb9ZF4

[Ian @ianaddison]

Using @janeconsidine's idea from @teachprimary. My Year 3 class are looking for an author to adopt. We will read your books and send you pictures/emails/reviews etc. Are you an author? Are your books suitable for year 3 children? Pls RT

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Definitely worth signing up for... @tlcbbs @MaryBethAkers1 @amigagrandota39 https://t.co/4VuPRDf5uS

[TC Advancing Literacy @TCAdvancingLit]

Important phonics update! Read all about it here! #tcrwp: https://t.co/8i8TVhD4Kr

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Why is it taking schools so long to turn their backs on the archaic parent-teacher conference set up? Student led conferences reinforce the importance of Ss being actively involved in their own learning, goal setting, challenges, and successes. https://t.co/T4O9OqAPK9

[Ted Fujimoto 💡 @tedfujimoto]

Student Led Conferences - turns the dreaded parent-teacher conference into something engaging and powerful. Parent-teacher conferences should be banned. https://t.co/GiKvxhUEns #deeperlearning #edchat #pblchat #stemed #edpolicy

“Coachability is not just teachability. It’s not just a willingness to learn. It’s a willingness to unlearn and change” well said and totally true! Thank you @stevebarkley https://t.co/HSzAbqHNHQ

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Great news! https://t.co/qDEFF9gGmU

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

@tlcbbs A2: Ss have to be actively involved in the formative assessment process, using information to determine the next steps of their leaning. Formative assessment is crucial in a student’s learning journey. #tlcbbs #tlcbbschat

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

Love this idea @tlcbbs @colbysharp https://t.co/xXSTPH5863

[Colby Sharp @colbysharp]

Audio books make reading middle grade novels more accessible to many of my students.

[lorraine burton @lyburton]

A1: Learning environment looks like organised chaos, sounds busy with lots of discussion, and feels safe #tlcbbschat #tlcbbs
