[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

There's a misconception about teamwork. Teamwork is the ability to have different thoughts about things; it's the ability to argue and stand up and say loud and strong what you feel. But in the end, it's also the ability to adjust to what is the best for the team. – Tom Landry

A real example of learning progressions for ELA standards is being shared by @jeeneemarie We can use this protocol to Mind the Gaps #CovidSlide

[Tracey Gillies @tgaik]

Loving the thinking of flashback/ flash forward. What were the essential standards during distance learning? What data do we have student by student? What are we going to do about it? #CovidSlide

[Tracey Gillies @tgaik]

Mind the Gaps webinar was a great review of the essential work needed to provide multi tiered systems of support by @mikemattos65 Looking forward to going deeper next week. #CovidSlide

Dos and Don'ts of reading instruction. #CoreAdvocates https://t.co/Sk8f8wJyHz

"None of us would think about buying a car we had not driven – yet we often ask kids to write things we have not tried to write ourselves." #CoreAdvocates https://t.co/rSJCPxvMov

[Tracey Gillies @tgaik]

Imagine teaching distributive property as a way to understand multiplication instead of a confusing equation to memorize with no real purpose. #CoreAdvocates https://t.co/uQitToYmK8

In fourth grade, "Let’s make a commitment to one another. We commit to teaching the concepts of multiplication and division. We will not use acronyms or mnemonics to teach important math concepts." #coreadvocates https://t.co/89Xp9lSJog
