@AffinitoLit @HeinemannPub @elizabethsilvis @hollykimprice Congratulations on another book! Can’t wait to read this one! I will put this at the top of the summer reading pile!

[Stephanie Affinito, Ph.D @AffinitoLit]

Happy Book Birthday to Leading Literate Lives! I'm so excited to share this book with educators and work together to cultivate our own reading and writing lives! #LeadingLiterateLives #ALitLife #BookYourself @HeinemannPub @elizabethsilvis @hollykimprice

Today's coaching tool is inspired by Liz Bartley and a simple traffic light pattern as the ideal way to spark reflection and goal setting. It's perfect to try this week! #CoachingSketchnoteBook #literacycoaching https://t.co/59HLENVUAJ

@OliverRobinso13 Thank you Dr. Robinson @OliverRobinso13 for your ongoing leadership! Message received: We all have a responsibility and accountability to keep each other safe. We have worked hard to reopen schools and our students are happy @OkteSchool !

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

There is something cathartic about helping others during these trying times. Went early this morning to donate groceries and Stuff the Bus! @ShenNews @BeckyCarman38 @OliverRobinso13 Let us use gratitude as our North Star! Join in and support our Shen Back Pack Program!

@AffinitoLit @nsssasocstudies Prepare in advance the statement about recording the session. People are concerned about privacy. Another thought is to limit distractions in your background. Fancy green screen images bring the wrong focus to the meeting.

Way to go Coach!!!

[Coach Decker @ShenSportsCoach]

When you have a dad who teaches PE and uses his kids as test subjects searching for activities. Great videos ⁦@PhysEdDepot⁩
Kids loved them and couldn’t get enough!

There is a Facebook community that began the #518rainbowhunt Families practice social distancing by going on walks hunting for rainbows on houses, windows and driveways. In one week over 20k followers. A great way to distract everyone and make them smile!!!!

[Stephanie Affinito, Ph.D @AffinitoLit]

@strakat12 @ShenNews @ACARCNY Tell me more about this!!

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

Joining the community as we provide some fun for our children. The greater the storm the brighter the rainbow! 🌈 #518rainbowhunt @ShenNews @ACARCNY @AffinitoLit

[Kathleen Palmieri, NBCT @Kathie_Palmieri]

My official certificate arrived today! I'm having a repeat of that feeling of pride when I clicked on my scores back in December. #nbctstrong @Pbrookins44 @NBCT @EllenSherratt

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

I love when a professional text makes an impact on teaching and learning! Kudos to my Notice And Note Book Group Teachers for keeping an open mind and trying these strategies!@KyleneBeers @BobProbst @MsJules26

[julie @MsJules26]

Powerful experience co-teaching & reflecting w/ these Grade 5 kiddos yesterday. #NoticeandNote Thank you @ReadWorks for great SS/ELA materials & @KyleneBeers @BobProbst @strakat12 for your inspiration!

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

Clarity in learning intentions has a huge impact on student success! Love this! @john_hattie and @PeterMDeWitt and @CorwinPress Go Shatekon!

[julie @MsJules26]

Know Thy Impact. Visible learning in ELA, Math, & SS w Shen colleagues. Grateful for: @john_hattie's work, teachers who open their doors for visits, & colleagues committed to lifelong growth. Special thanks to learners & leaders, esp @strakat12 and @eryan26. #visiblelearning

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

Clarity is my new favorite word @VisibleLearning @john_hattie @PeterMDeWitt @karen_flories see the impact in teaching and learning immediately! So proud of @Shatekon for taking on this hard work! #dedicatedteachers

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

The culture for learning is alive and well @Shatekon! I found two Books of Knowledge this morning outside the Principal’s office as they join their students in building background knowledge. #lovearticleaday @ReadWorks So inspiring!

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

There are words we take advantage of in our industry; we make them “bad” words. Module is an example of this in NY and now “balance” has a bad reputation. Can’t we do better than this?! #G2Great help us serve striving readers. Great book! Makes sense! @DFISHERSDSU

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

#G2Great is excited to welcome Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey and Nancy Akhavan to our chat. We cant wait to dig into their incredible new book, This is Balanced Literacy. We hope you’ll join us!

Sharing meaningful books in 2019 at @ACARCNY with invested educators. Of course @kwamealexander is featured! #literacymakesadifference

[Kathleen Strangis @strakat12]

Loved these comments about the post by @burgessdave and the Angelou quote! It is a call to action for all of us. Thank you Dave! Looking forward to reading #OKtoSayThey. I too am on a journey and look forward to ongoing enlightenment.

[Annick Rauch @AnnickRauch]

Such a well written post by @burgessdave! Can’t wait to read #OkToSayThey & truly believe that this book will help many who are scared of saying the wrong thing. But by staying silent, we don’t learn, we don’t normalize, and we exclude. Learn. Grow. All ways. Always. #tlap
