A2: It’s impossible to be a true mentor without doing the groundwork of Miner, Mirror, and Model. It’s like building a house without a foundation; your attempt to mentor is bound to fall flat. #HCPSREAD

A1: As with anything you learn, it’s easier to do it in chunks. Ss need smaller steps so they can internalize strategies and make them their own.

A5: My ah-ha in this section was the reasoning behind differentiating between minilessons and read alouds. I tend to suffer from the turning minilessons into lectures when I’m not truly focused. #hcpsread

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A4: I think it’s important for us to record our models so all students can access them even if they can’t be there with us in a zoom meeting. This could be a great thing to add to our reading YouTube channel! #hcpsread

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A3: I think what I gleaned the most was just the ‘permission’ to focus in on and teach one student. ELearning really gives us the time to practice and perfect this. #hcpsread

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A2: I loved Goldberg’s suggestion of trying to apply the model across several texts. We need to learn to bring the model down to the basest steps to ensure the transferability. #hcpsread

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A1: The steps are essential and need to be done in order. I think a lot of the time we forget to share the why with Ss and that's the moment we lose them. The model won't sick if they don't understand the purpose. #hcpsread

When you convince yourself that Twitter PD starts b at 8 instead of 7. Veronica Schaffner, Reading Coach at Tinker K-8. #hcpsread

A5: When feedback is given w/us in the equation it doesn’t work. That added variable sours the feedback to the point that Ss may not be receptive. We need to stay process centered so Ss can grow their mindset & be invested to continue to learn & use what they know. #HCPSRead

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A4: The work we do as a miner gives us the observations needed to allow us to provide quality feedback. Without that time our feedback would be surface level and superficial. #HCPSRead

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A3: Maybe it’s just me but this was a wake up call quote. We can’t help Ss who are significantly behind if we keep putting ourselves in the equation. By admiring we can focus on the S and see even the little glimmer that’s there & that’s all it takes for them to shine. #HCPSRead

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

I think taking myself out of it is the biggest challenge. That language is so innate hence the need to internalize the feedback process. #HCPSRead

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A2: I think having it posted where I can see it is important. Maybe keeping it posted on your computer or whiteboard but also at the top of any note taking sheet you use. It helps internalize the process.

A1: I think it would be great to have a feedback Flipgrid- create a unique Flipgrid for each student and then leave feedback in video form for assignments. They could also leave recorded responses that you could reply to. #HCPSRead

Veronica Schaffner, Reading Coach at Tinker K-8 School. Ready to discuss an awesome chapter. #hcpsread

[Veronica Bradford Schaffner @vb_schaffner]

A5: I think the most important aspect of e-learning being impactful the need for Ss to be heard. That is essential for the Ss & T. We’ve learned many ways we can capture student voice at this time including resources like Nearpod and Flipgrid so we need to utilize them. #HCPSRead
