@TomBrady I teach 3rd and have a reluctant writer now that he is working from home. He is writing a biography about you. I bet he would be super motivated if he knew that he could share it with you once he was done! What’s the best way for us to share his writing with you? Thx!
Imo, the traditional algorithms for add, subtract, & mult are not very helpful. Students rarely understand them. They can do them, but make sense? Not to most. Place value is hidden, behind the scenes. These algorithms never encourage thinking past single digit facts.
Top teachers were the *most* likely to seek advice from their peers. The better the teacher performed, the more likely they were to obtain feedback on how to be even better.
Asking for advice & feedback is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Give yourself the gift of collecting information on your readers' or writers' engagement with an engagement inventory. Don't try to multi-task and also confer. The info you get from this is worth the time! Watch, note what you see, make plans. @LeaLeibo#strategiesinstitute
