@solutiontree has made their packet digital this year to save paper. Now that’s a “tree solution!” #atPLC

@ToshMcGaughy @etinglesr @LYSNation @DrTTsang12 A1: My first purpose is to monitor behavior & use proximity control for my classroom management. My second - & ultimately more important purpose - is to check for understandings and misconceptions as I walk around the class to support students that need the extra help. #Fun5LWISD

Giving students positive, specific, & immediate feedback regularly will not only help with student behavior, but also make students WANT to come to school! #Fun5LWISD

@ToshMcGaughy @LakeWorthISD We have continually spoken about these 5 practices that are used to get better results and better teaching. I am glad we are finally able to give concrete steps and show teachers the "how" and not just the "why." #Fun5LWISD @LakeWorthISD

It should show a product of learning, and should include the action the students take to show their mastery or growth. Pull it all back together at the end of the lesson! #Fun5LWISD

[Mr. Ellis @MrEllisLWISD]

@ToshMcGaughy @LakeWorthISD @etinglesr W2A2: The phrase "bordering on professional negligence" is a scary accusation, but in times where student growth has never been more important, we need to reflect and ensure we are consistently doing our best with the practices we have.

@kaylie_web @sandraboynton We love the @sandraboynton books! I can recite Dinosnores by heart!

@ToshMcGaughy I appreciate that the authors point out the Fundamental 5 as being identified, not created. It was a discovery of what was already in place. #Fun5LWISD

@ToshMcGaughy @LakeWorthISD A1: Factors include life at home and how each individual was affected by the pandemic. To respond to varying needs comes down to knowing your students. Build those relationships (maybe some recognize/reinforce?) and meet students where they are. #Fun5LWISD
