Listening with presence. Speaking with intention. Mothering with love. Happy author of Teaching Talk.

@AnnieRothNews Oh, Annie... I'm just seeing this now. We all helped each other get through that year. I'm so glad that @AmyWeissMeyer took the time to talk to so many of us and weave our story into her own of what it was like to be a child living through 9/11.

You go @PamKou Can think of a better crowd and more exciting group of learners than those at #parsum19 congratulations! @tomlittogether

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@ddbridges1 I'm humbled. It was a great pleasure to spend the day in Amarillo, TX with you and the thought provoking teachers in Region 16. I'm so thankful for the chance to participate in your Literacy Institute. Stay in touch! @HeinemannPD #TeachingTalk

[Danielle Bridges @ddbridges1]

@pranikoff keynote was PHENOMENAL!! I can’t wait to read her book, Better Talk!! #becomingisbetterthanbeing

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

Hi @draya3 I hope the read continues to stimulate you! Good question. Transcription is important because it's the artifact that helps you return to analyze and construct w/sts what makes a good conversation. You can study what went well and what you can improve.:) #Teachtalk

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@donohoe_kitty YES! YES! YES!#Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Kitty Donohoe @donohoe_kitty]

@suzrolander @DrMaryHoward #g2great @pranikoff I want to see you when I am in Manhattan last two weeks of June Susie and Kara! ❤️

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@VorenbergAbby I don't know this site -- I'll check it out before I see you next Thursday. Thanks for the suggestion! #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@Michael51571501 Connecting to your students in this way is paramount. No learning can happen without true connection. #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Michael Nelson @Michael51571501]

A2: Starting or ending my day with student shares helps me learn a lot about what my students value, what their home lives are like, what they love to do outside of the classroom....

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@DrMaryHoward @LRobbTeacher I just had a conversation with my second grade classroom about what books we could put away and what books we needed to add to our library. Illuminating. #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Laura Robb @LRobbTeacher]

@DrMaryHoward Agree. Always start with the children! I’ve learned about books and series from them that I might not have found myself. #g2great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@ssvincent @franmcveigh Twitter -- YES! Librarians -- YES!! #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Susan Vincent @ssvincent]

A3. I’m going to say the public library’s children’s librarian. I tell my preservice teachers to talk to their librarian and use their knowledge!! Plus twitter keeps me connected to great children’s lit that features all kinds of families, children, lives, etc... #g2great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@teachdmac Student interests are crucial. Even in elementary school. #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Donna Mac @teachdmac]

A2: i get to know my students by letting their interests become my curriculum. They determine topics, choose the texts and then work in groups based on interest. Also they hang out in my room during lunch (i teach HS) #g2great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@suzrolander Thanks for that kind shoutout -- dear friend. Love to talk with you and listen to you, always. #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Susie Rolander @suzrolander]

A1: Comprehension can change dramatically by talking to peers. @pranikoff addresses this so well in Teaching Talk by @HeinemannPub #G2Great #LitBankStreet

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@PradillaRachel Listening is crucial. I could not agree more. Everyone wants to be listened to....#Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Rachel A Pradilla @PradillaRachel]

A2: you honor and value all students' stories by practicing listening. While this is a simple answer to a complex question, its critical that teachers practice authentic and probing listening skills. Students know and FEEL when you are truly listening #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@sashamgrin That does sound magical. How do we get students to feel that magic? #Litbankstreet #G2Great

[sashamgrin @sashamgrin19]

Hello! A1: The magic of reading for me is when I have genuine excitement to continue where I left off and set aside a time where I'm in a comfy spot, when it's warmer anywhere in the park feels rejuvenating #Read4Fun #litbankstreet

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

And we could not ask for a better, more insightful and reflective teacher to work with! @anikatz @suzrolander @bankstreetedu

[Ani Katz @anibkatz]

@suzrolander @bankstreetedu @pranikoff @molliewk I could not ask for a more supportive advisor ❤️

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

.@suzrolander you and .@DrMaryHoward are on the same brain wave....

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

We put our struggling readers in interventions but we don’t ever actually let them read. This has been supported in the research again and again. (Allington, mcGill Franzen, Guthrie, & more). How do we get them to spend MOST of their time reading and writing? #ZLC2019 #G2Great

[Kara Pranikoff @pranikoff]

Count me in for a #G2Great Summit! I'll count the days. @hayhurst3 @DrMaryHoward. Sure I can get @suzrolander and many others to join in. Nothing more rejuvenating. . #LitBankStreet #G2Great

[Jenn Hayhurst @hayhurst3]

@DrMaryHoward Absolutely! #G2Great I think we need to do a #G2Great summit at #ncte19
