A short 🧵for English teachers who (like me!) love #graphicnovels. While these have made curricular inroads, I hear far less chatter about resources for teaching kids *how* to read (and close read) them. Here are a few resources that might help...
I worked with Deb for several years. She is a highly dedicated and amazing teacher, who always goes above and beyond. Teachers deserve #MoreThanThanks.
This is our Anatomy of a Project - a detailed diagram to illustrate the structure of really well planned PBL. You’ll notice that explicit teaching factors in there quite clearly. We created this analogy in 2017 to help a Maths teacher friend visualise the project process. ⭐️
“Great teachers are like great doctors or lawyers.They have a whole reparatory of skills; techniques and approaches, and a lot of experience, but the real skill is knowing which skill to apply where, and how to adapt it to the people in front of you.” Sir Ken Robinson 2018
In my interview at @LindfieldLearn I had to ‘teach’ the panel. Blending T.S. Eliot’s words: Do I dare disturb the universe?’ with @SirKenRobinson’s research I showed how stories and words inspire our kids to ruffle feathers, dismantle the cage and soar. Vale #SirKenRobinson
A beautiful and timely #mothersday2020 gift as #teachers in NSW prepare for the return to classrooms.
May we continue to be conductors of energy and radiate light (but be safe, kind to ourselves/each other and strong) #edutwitter
I feel so sorry for NSW teachers and parents who will have to keep delivering term 1 content next week. It's shameful that no-one has arranged a way forward where they get a break and a head start on term 2 instead. @NSWPandCFed@NSWSPC@TeachersFed#aussieED
