Edufriends, I’ve decided to start an account over on Instagram to talk about teaching and reading and alll the things! Follow me over there! https://t.co/WKQ5JaSqV7
One of the coolest moments I’ve ever experienced as a fan was Corum scoring the TD after Zak’s injury. I couldn’t even see him flash the 65, but I immediately knew it was for him. Hail 💙💛
"It was incredible, I've never seen anything like it in my career."
@joelklatt shares the emotional moment when thousands of @UMichFootball fans loudly chanted "Let's go Zak" as @zak_zinter was carted off the field during an injury timeout ❤️6️⃣5️⃣
Thank you to those of you that came to our #NCTE23 presentation on choice reading. We loved having a packed house! Here is the link to our presentation with TONS of choice reading resources: https://t.co/2wZLeZxH5A
Friends, who knows of grants to apply for to pay for teachers to attend conferences? #NCTE2023 was amazing, but I can’t afford it. (I’ve only been to NCTE twice due to cost). Any ideas or resources would be appreciated!
My brilliant friend @english_roy wrote this about how admin can help teachers during a time when teachers are leaving in droves. It’s really quite simple:
Continuing to speak this into the void that no one seems to be paying attention to: teachers are crumbling under unrealistic expectations. Almost 100% of learning falls to teachers with very little accountability for students. It’s a broken system. Send help.
@jgandarias72@susangbarber@mbrisbin11 I’ve also asked them about the difference between assigning writing and teaching writing and what they do to be sure they are teaching it.
@jgandarias72@susangbarber@mbrisbin11 Hi, I always have them walk me thorough one of their favorite lessons. It really gives me insight into what that teacher’s classroom looks like and what they value. Good luck! Hope you find someone great!
A simple plan to vastly improving learning outcomes for students:
Trust teachers*
- Trust teachers to teach
- Trust teachers to learn
- Trust teachers to lead
(*This includes adequate resources, generous planning time, and administrative support.)
