The reading achievement gap between rich and poor students can be attributed to a lack of access to #SummerReading books in lower-income communities, argues Dr. Richard Allington.

#StopTheSlide by equalizing children's ability to get hands on material.

Reading is a relationship. It doesn’t start with an initiative, log, or packet. It starts with a consistent connection to books.

[Jay McTighe @jaymctighe]

Students are more likely to be engaged in learning when: 1) they feel accepted by teachers & peers, 2) learning goals & assessments are clear, 3) work is authentic and they see the relevance, 4) they have some choice, 5) they believe that they can succeed, 6) they are supported.

During our graphic novel mini unit, teachers were learning right along with students... and often from them as well! #seahasjoy #tcrwp

Healthy teacher habits during the school year...
1) Get enough sleep, 7-8 hrs
2) Exercise, move around during the work day as well
3) Drink lots of water
4) Prep your own lunch
5) Meditate
6) Make time for yourself

For most teachers, May is the toughest month of the year!

These fifth graders were so excited to shop for their free summer book after helping set up! #FMTpride #welovereadingbooks #FHSDLearns #TCRWP

A5 Student led read aloud work is a game changer. Kids can generate a list of the types of thinking they do when they read then plan read alouds of favorite books where they model it and ask peers to try it out. #tcrwp #ruos #wuos

[Shanon Drennan @sdliteracyrocks]

I love this idea!

A3 When I started out I was creating all of my anchor charts. Over the years I have shifted to getting kids to create them whenever possible. A great, authentic purpose for interactive writing! (picture?) #tcrwp #ruos #wuos

3 Truths About Leadership:

1. Leadership isn’t about gaining power. It’s about empowering others.
2. Great leaders succeed because they bring out the greatness in others.
3. You don’t have to be great to serve but you have to serve to be a great leader

As the end of the year approaches and emotions are high, let’s encourage one another in a way that allows us to finish strong, heads high, and no regrets! Stay strong, the work this year has impacted students for a lifetime! #educatorlife #fhsd

[Stacey Taylor @LitROCK_taylor]

The end of the school year is the perfect time for reflection. Take stock of what went well and what needs to be adjusted for next year. Jot down possible minilessons that you will need to teach to head off predictable problems from the get-go. #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDLearns

[Shanon Drennan @sdliteracyrocks]

@SmkStephanie Thank you for the great learning today! #tcrwp #fhsdpride

[Shanon Drennan @sdliteracyrocks]

Yeah! Can’t wait!

[Shanon Drennan @sdliteracyrocks]

@ernestmorrell Prayers for you!

@CarrieHepburn @JPlotnitskiy @LitROCK_taylor Your next Twitter chat? I do better with a community too!

[Stacey Taylor @LitROCK_taylor]

A3 @LitROCK_forth and I sat down and planned out the next few years and how that could look to ensure that this adoption is successful. It’s a very fluid document but hopefully as we get more into this work it will be refined to meet our needs #LeadingWellSTL

[Shanon Drennan @sdliteracyrocks]

@LitROCK_taylor Yes Stacey! This is now my goal too for next year! ❤️it!

[Stacey Taylor @LitROCK_taylor]

A4 Another focus could be flipping the script from, What does this assessment tell me about my students?, to, What feedback am I getting about my teaching from this assessment? #LeadingWellSTL
