We've developed an informal formative assessment tool: The Listening to Reading—Watching While Writing Protocol. It can be used in face-to-face, physically distant, and remote-teaching contexts. @wardalessandrae

I've posted a video about how to engage young children in word work at a distance. I focus on phonological awareness, phonics, interactive writing, & vocabulary instruction. The video includes slides and demos, including with children. It's ~40 mins long.

I made this ~one hour video about how to provide small group literacy instruction for young children using a videoconferencing platform (@zoom_us). With help from four gr8 coaches, I walk through a phonics lesson and a content knowledge + infotext lesson.

You know that feeling that comes over you as you watch others grow & learn? That’s the feeling @suzy_coffman & I had as we watched this group of literacy coaches grow & learn this last week. They were fun, came with a growth mindset, and quickly became a team! #Michiganliteracy

#Michiganliteracy coaches organizing for post-observation conferences with teachers at Intensive Coaching Institute led by @suzy_coffman and @Shellie_gohl. Day 4 is filled with processes that solidify our learning this week AND support the educators in a school before we leave.
