@JakeSheridan_ Another banned book I am proud to have included in my HS ELA curriculum. This book blew my stydents' minds and stayed with them for years after, coming up as intertextual references in class discussions. Yeah- definitely shy away from anything that opens kids' minds.
@Eduventuring04 I am an OG+ specialist and I feel this to my core. It breaks my heart to watch my brilliant, talented students struggle, but I won't give up on them, even when they are exhausted. Even when we are singing and dancing and gamifying sounds and decoding, it is really tough work.
@MaraGay I am so proud of my nephew for speaking up and being a part of this video. I know it wasn't easy to speak out, but this is a beautiful step towards a more equitable world. Change has to come from those who are steeped in the privilege, or it won't be real change.
@k8roulette2 I'm sorry, off every weekend?! How about 10-20 hours of planning and grading papers every weekend as a HS ELA teacher. Spring break? Grading. Winter break? Grading. Summer break? 2nd job.
@AshSRoberts @merrysaysboof So many of my dyslexic students are EXHAUSTED from all the effort they have made over the years. This ain't it, teach. Sending hugs.
@Moms4FAPE@JamesComer@Jim_Jordan As a secondary teacher there were no classes in my masters program.around literacy and no PD's either once I got into district. In fact, I have never in 22 years of teaching had a PD in literacy.
