How will you build relationships with your students this year? #WednesdayWisdom

Throughout the month of July, we'll be sharing words of wisdom for new teachers! Even if you're a veteran, these wise words can act as a wonderful reminder as you gear up for next year. #NCTEvillage

How do you encourage student voice and choice? There is so much inspiration in Rachelle Dene Poths new book The Future is Now! These quotes by Kristin Nan are in the book! Inspiring read! #Future4EDU #40cfpln #edugladiators #PBL

A4: We are working on having an Arts Night at our school to invite families into see their writing, art, and music #nctechat

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A3: Students set class goals and individual goals for writing units. We reflect on these in writing & submit with final piece! #nctechat

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A2: We have a school-wide system for tracking independent reading toward the 40 book challenge! #nctechat

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A1: I like to have them take 3 surveys: 1 on their reading life, 1 on their writing life, and 1 on their personal interests #nctechat

A5: I like to let students self-assess throughout the unit, especially in terms of their specific writing goals for that unit #2ndaryela

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A4: For our writing standards, we use Lucy Calkins and try to teach pieces of the 3 units before state testing time #2ndaryela

@JanHamilton7 That's awesome! Who was the free author? :)

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A2: I haven't actually tried this yet, but skyping with an author has always sounded fun #2ndaryela

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A3: Digital rubrics where each student has their own copy... teacher can highlight scores and type feedback #2ndaryela

[Kaylin Zittergruen @wanderfulwrtg]

A1: Thinking about using Booksource to have students check out/return books to our classroom library #2ndaryela
