If you need an example of choral responding and corrective feedback here is a great one and it has @sstollar6 ‘s approval. When Dr. Stollar speaks I listen! @Mrs_Fitts @karenwood1 @Cam_The_Teacher @CFranklin27

[Stephanie Stollar @sstollar6]

Fantastic example of choral responding with immediate corrective feedback. This is engaging, responsive and effective teaching! 👏

YES! Teaming structures create a SYSTEM of support! From state to student! ❤️ @_CaseyTaylor

[Karen Wood @karenwood1]

Vocabulary routine in action, background knowledge building around topics like The Renaissance and Geography through core curriculum, and instructional assistants digging into data and learning more about how to provide additional support based on skill needs…I’d say it was a great day to spend time in @weldon_city with @NCDPI_OEL ELS Pauletta Broadnax! @castickney

So thankful to work in a state working and striving to align instruction to evidence based practices through coaching support!

[Melissa & Lori Love Literacy Podcast @literacypodcast]

You would think spending more time on decoding practice would be the most beneficial for students learning to read BUT research suggests that spending more time on practicing spelling might be more beneficial than spending more time on decoding practice. (The Literacy 50) 📘
