Thank you Kranti Singh for talking to me today! I can’t wait to bring a team to McSpedden Elementary! What is the name of the RtI book you mentioned?

If you work with ELs, do yourself a favor and take 16 minutes out of your day to watch this short PD. I like to think that I'm fairly tech-savvy, but most of these tools were new to me. Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=4O3Zxw… #VirtuEL19 Irina McGrath, Ph.D. 🌍 Dr. Michelle Shory 💻

Fabulous idea!

Don't tell your students to just breathe. Use strategies that help them regulate their body and get their mind focused on something other than the problem they are facing in that moment. We added these to our schoolwide sensory calming kits today. PS, they're good for us too.

#lpchristmas Merry Christmas! Getting ready to celebrate the birth of our savior.

How are you celebrating the end of elementary school for your outgoing students? We usually do a ceremony and reception but need some new ideas. Scott Schweikhard Matthew Arend Lori Robertson @skimbriel

When we focus our efforts on connecting with students rather than controlling them, classroom management takes on a completely different role in our learning spaces. #Hacklearning

ISO ideas for specific reading instruction ideas for struggling students. Did you implement a specific phonics program in conjunction with Guided Reading? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

Which writing curriculum do you use or prefer? Units of Study, Empowering writers, or something else

It’s so nice to talk and learn from experts in the profession! Thank you @m_dunlap_ for taking the time to talk with me. You are awesome and your school/district/state are so lucky to have you!

“Don’t tell me you believe all kids can learn. Show me what you’re doing to ensure this.” Just more greatness from Richard DuFour. Such a powerful statement.

Great resource to ensure we are reading, writing and thinking across disciplines.

You can have the greatest Tier 3 interventions in the world, but until you strengthen Tier 1, you will not fill major achievement gaps. Plus, students receiving Tier 3 interventions can't miss Tier 1 instruction. That is a non-negotiable! #Inclusive #Equity #PLC #OrrTEAM

Instead of counting down days to the end of the school year, what if we count down the days left to make a difference in someone's life? I love this book, Essential Truths for Teachers, by Todd Whitaker and Danny Steele! #plaea #edchat

Day 2 of Ohio Middle Level Association (OMLA) Conference! Weston Kieschnick is such a powerful speaker. #OMLA2020

Who is an expert on elementary writing instruction? Would love to hear experiences on how you started implementing aligned school wide instruction and which resources you found worked best. Thx

“Student performance is a habit” Hal Bowman great reflection piece this morning.

Does anyone have any mission and vision activities for that elementary school staff that you wouldn’t mind sharing? Thx
