No one should care how a kindergartener compares on a standardized test with kindergarteners around the country. They should care if the kindergartener feels cared for, valued, and actually enjoys coming to school to learn. Its Kindergarten!

I'm sending my kindergarten parents links to FREE, online decodable books for practice over the summer. I'm sharing in the thread below; please feel free to add any I've missed. Must be completely free, and preferably no registration, etc., required. Thanks!

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

Amazing! Checking these out #TCH208

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

Q5: What goals have you set for your work in clinical and in TCH296 over the next couple weeks? #TCH296

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

Q4: On p. 90, Collet states, “an answer that is discovered is usually retained.” What is an answer or concept you “discovered” when you were a student and remember still? #TCH296

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

@MatthewBorows13 And please start your Tweets with Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. Thanks!

@missmelissaguzm These discussion strategies are excellent resources to hear from all students in different ways too. https://t.co/tasOhiTnuW

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

@drfalbe @missmelissaguzm Came here to ask the same thing:)

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

@MatthewBorows13 Me too! Then working it into lessons will further your student connections.

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

Q3: Think about your own experiences as a student. What assignment structures limited you or did not feel effective for you as a learner? What other possibilities might have had more impact? #TCH296

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

Q2: We know relationships are impt. in our work with YAs. How do you plan on making connections with your Ss throughout clinical? How will you share your own interests too? #TCH296

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

@missmelissaguzm This is SO important, Melissa! Gloria Ladson-Billings debunks this "you-poor-dear syndrome" in one of her speeches. https://t.co/FoBO9pMImS

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

@GracePerryed Yes! And everyone should continue to think about how they will reflect on mistakes in their clinical classroom this semester.

[Rebecca Mullen, MSEd @ramullen7]

*especially (embracing my 'sloppy mistake') 😊

Q1: On pages 19-20, Cruz states "...I know that the heroic narrative sets too many people up for failure and exclusion, specially teachers and students." What are you doing to unlearn the 'teacher as hero narrative'? #TCH296
