Lift the teachers up! Support and encourage, acknowledge and value. Teachers deserve this.

As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole? Teachers' emotional struggles have a direct influence on their interactions with STUDENTS. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help STUDENTS!

@mlmalone3 I noticed that some of my struggling readers couldn't carry a tune and wondered if there was a connection. This study was about rhythm though. Very interesting.

This is fascinating!

Best lesson I've seen so far using @Amplify! Teacher added TPR, competition, visual supports, differentiation, and more! @Stephens_Stars @LMYoung_GISD @DlcampbeDenise #EarlyLiteracyGISD

"If 95% of students have the capacity to read, we can no longer accept failure in our rooms. If the students in our room aren’t responding to our instruction, we must change the way we teach these children." Every child has the #RightToRead. Let's get to work!

We all serve many roles in schools, but no role is more important than loving and encouraging others.

Teaching High-Frequency words. Some high-frequency words are really inconvenient. They are most common words with often awkward spellings. Did you know that most of our high-frequency words come from Old English? @phonicbooks #highfrequencywords #phonics #SoR #dyslexia
