Do you notice the differences between these three scenarios?

Equality: everyone gets the same support

Equity: everyone gets what they need

Accessibility: asks the Q, "Why don’t we make things accessible for all from the beginning?"

This was my first ever #iaedchat Thanks for all of the new ideas and insights. I look forward to future chats with you all!

@carters_class Beep! Beep! Beep!

On a side note: What about literacy and STEM? How beneficial are the two put together? I just attended a workshop in Johnston at the AEA on Friday... I gained great ideas. More than I could have even imagined! #iaedchat #ISUci454

Q7: How has your thinking changed or deepened around building a culture of literacy? #IAedChat

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@SJUpah @JenHoulette Right?! Especially how helpful they are for their colleagues. I didn't realize how much support and knowledge they can give to teachers #iaedchat

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@BKd204Sci As a pre-service teacher, I look forward to having a strong and supportive team. I'm sure it makes all the difference. #iaedchat #ISUci454

[Dan Butler @danpbutler]

Q6: Do you have any tools or resources to share to set the foundation for building a culture of literacy? #IAedChat

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@a_krehbiel13 This is great. I'm sure your student really values that you took their suggestion seriously. I'll have to do this when I'm a practicing teacher! #iaedchat #ISUci454

A5: as a pre-service teacher...TEXTBOOKS! I wish I had more time to read for fun. Thank goodness for books on tape that I can listen to on my way to work. My latest one was for my SS methods class. 'Return to Sender' #iaedchat #ISUci454

@shfarnsworth @SJUpah I'll have to take a look.. thank you in advance for the suggestion! #iaedchat

Q4: What does intervention look like in a culture of literacy? #IAedChat

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@SJUpah @iowajonhuebner I saw this in my el-ed practicum as well.. each teacher had a post outside of their door of the book they were reading. It included the title, author, and picture of the book cover. #iaedchat

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@AnIowaTeacher How do you feel about book reports?? There HAS to be a better way to assess students on books they have read

[Madison Potter @missmgpotter]

@SJUpah @shfarnsworth I love this! Ss want to read about things that interest them..not what they are forced to read about. This would have helped me a lot in HS and I'm sure it will help the learning in Nevada.
