Emily Doyle, Oxford Middle School, 8th grade ELA 📚#ALedchat

A1: I think my strengths are Academic Strategies and questioning. I believe they tie in to Student Engagement due to the fact that it students aren’t meaningfully engaged they will not own these academic strategies #ALEdChat #powerfultaskdesign

A2: Since I'm new to #powerfultaskdesign I may change my answer in the not-so-distant future, but so far it has been easier for me to start from scratch, look at the 3-4 levels of the rubric, and make something new, dynamic, and exciting! #ALEdChat

A6: Personal response, all the way! Just as I think creation is the most powerful indicator, I think personal response is its own form of creation. Our goal is to create independent THINKERS & problem sovlers- personal response is evidence of both thinking & viewpoints #ALEdChat

Day 1: I have accepted a challenge from @aclarkhistory and @MrsEasley_OMS to post covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews— just the cover. I’ll ask someone to take the challenge 1 cover a day. My 1st challenge goes to Kristie Barnett

My sweet Saylor is making my 💛 swell today bc she is knocking our 1st #proficiencyscales out of the park by asking big questions, using analytical thinking, and making real life connections! #OMSJacketLife Marzano Research Phil Warrick

Day 2: I have accepted a challenge from @aclarkhistory and @MrsEasley_OMS to post covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews— just the cover. I’ll ask someone to take the challenge 1 cover a day. My 2nd challenge goes to @MrsHallOMS

When asked, “What sparks joy to you?” I immediately think of this moment. This coming school year, I will get the chance to dance again and coach these wonderful young ladies as the new Golden Girl sponsor! #OMSJacketLife #DLPCoaching #WonderfulWednesday

For Awards Day I also got to celebrate some more of my preschool babies moving up to HIGH SCHOOL! I’m so fortunate to have gotten my 3 year olds again at 14 and to have spent the year getting to know who they are becoming (which is too cool obviously) Oxford Middle School #OMSjacketlife

Today my pre-AP kids blew me away by taking interest in current events, truly empathizing with a speaker not far off from their own age, and contributing to a global conversation— all while analyzing info text and working their way up their proficiency scale 💛 #OMSjacketlife

Sneak peak at this year’s AMAZING group for OMS Competition Team 🐝🐝 Oxford Middle School #OMSjacketlife

This group is what all the BUZZ is about 🐝 Our Black and Gold Competition Teams have been rocking Scholars’ Bowl, and I believe you’re looking at some playoff contenders right here!! Oxford Middle School #OMSjacketlife 🖤💛

Oxford Black just won the first playoff game!! 🐝🐝 #OMSjacketlife

I cannot even verbalize (and I’m an ELA teacher so that’s a rarity) how amazing our OMS Competition Teams have been!! 🐝 In our area’s Scholar’s Bowl we had a championship runner-up team (3 playoff games!) and 2 all-star individuals! Best. Kids. Ever. #OMSjacketlife

So...I was missing my kids (& procrastinating repainting), & now we have my favorite creation to connect & share some positivity with (& challenge) each other! See Google Classroom or bit.ly/SDbingo & get some ideas & share what you're doing!! #OMSJacketLife Oxford Middle School

Love Tom’s instruction, insights, and support, and quickly becoming a huge fan of Early-Stage interventions! #ed505uwa
