My boys were so excited that @BRCrandall delivered their published pieces to our house! I cannot recommend @CWPFairfield enough.

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too.

Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds.

In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.

“When teachers are treated like the professionals they were trained to be, they show excellence at their schools. When they are scapegoated, or silenced, they begin to question why they chose the profession in the first place.”

Yes! @BRCrandall

@teachkate Congratulations!!! Cannot wait to read it!!

It’s time to move on from whole language v. balanced literacy v. structured literacy rhetoric. They’re indefinable terms, being done very differently in schools & camps aren’t helpful. We broadly agree on essential elements (the what), we just need more agreement on how/how much.

@BRCrandall @writingproject @CWPFairfield @teachKHT Yes!!! It was so fun for me to tell Sammy that Ms. Jessica was my former student. I think I had her for 9th Grade Honors English many many years ago.

Lately, I'm left scratching my head at the way key concepts about reading instruction are explained and defined. So, I made a glossary and provided links to hopefully clear up confusion. I hope it's helpful! https://t.co/2ttRHqyIjz

@NAEmmanuele I’m an instructional coach! Go for it. It’s nice to support teachers from non-evaluative position.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

To address the teacher shortage issue, we must address the teacher respect issue in our country. We must stop normalizing providing teachers with inadequate resources to be successful.

[Michelle C Walker @mcwalker39]

@H1story_7eacher Too much of education is about control. I’ve had to do something similar in the past, but it is unsustainable. You are not overreacting.
