Just my regular reminder that we can’t intervene our way out of tier 1 problem( aka non-evidenced based instruction/programs)

From @KleinHigh Pharmacy Tech students getting hands-on in their Mock Pharmacy (funded by @kleinfoundation grant!) to A&P students peering into microscopes (they will earn college credit to go toward their Associate Degree!), District Dashers saw SO many incredible things today!

Check out new research on how kids best learn letter-sound pairings. Hint: Get ’em up and moving!

"In the absence of learning, teaching did not take place. To say, 'I taught the student, but s/he did not learn' is the equivalent of saying, 'I sold the product to the client but s/he did not buy it.'" Indeed! From the brilliant Gary Germann (1999).

Had a fun time teaching children to build circuits...( they actually taught ME) What a memorable day!! The kids had so much fun through all the stations, that's all they could talk about...animals, crafts, read aloud, and BOOKS! #NitschLit

[Stephanie Dinnen @MrsDinnenReads]

@right2readproj The greatest crime of workshop model, and there are many, is it created a generation of teachers who believe that basic, direct instruction done by the teacher as the only expert in the room is antithetical to good teaching. Quite literally, teachers no longer know how to teach.

[Right to Read Project @right2readproj]

When I graduated teacher-prep I'd developed a real fear of doing too much teaching. Engrained in my brain phrases like, "minimize teacher talk" and "the importance of keeping mini-lessons mini."

I blew my mind to hear Anita Archer say, "Let's keep the 'teach' in TEACHER"

[amym @mrsmathai]

My students couldn't resist doing this! They remind me to take joy in the little things!

[Leonard M. Castleberry @MrCastleberry2]

Super proud of our students and staff! Despite our lights going out this afternoon (the generator kept essentials on), the campus was NOT phased, and the learning continued in EVERY grade level. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Better

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.

Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.

Everyone loves to hear their name.

[amym @mrsmathai]

Something to think about!

On annotation...

If you read my tweet yesterday on strategies, it may not surprise you that I have thoughts on annotation.

This morning I got up thinking about annotation--a solid strategy that is sometimes taught to be taught (and you know my thoughts on that)
