Within reason of course. But we are building futures!

Cancer is a disease with no patience. Today is World Cancer Day. If you know anyone with cancer, today is good day to reach out to them to thank them for their fight, to thank an oncologist for leading that fight, and for donating to the cancer org of your choice.

If you are a dynamic, passionate educator looking to support high-quality literacy instruction in classrooms, we want to hear from you! bddy.me/3rvDfYV

HQPL- co-planning & co-teaching at our elementary schools last week. Excited to get an invite to repeat the process this week! This PL was “engaging and gave me the confidence to try some things I wasn’t sure this group was ready for.” -KH Thank you @SandraJelkovac #CapeProud

Mark Seidenberg I won't take a position on the dispute on PA, etc., but what concerns me most about "science of reading" efforts is that they often omit the need to start building academic knowledge early. The evidence is clear. Focusing on decoding alone won't ensure literacy for most kids.

Congratulations, Dr. Miller!🎓

I am in favor of carrying books because the best weapon to save the citizen is education!!

I'm finishing writing a book on how to help kids recognize +deal with information pollution and their own cognitive biases (how social media manipulates you.) I just saw this visual which is right on point for this project! #PBL #PBLchat #teacherstudent visualcapitalist.com/problems-with-…

✍🏼What about WRITING?!? The Writing Revolution is a FANTASTIC resource for all contents and all grade levels! 🎧Check out our book talk (available now!) and get ready for our discussion with the authors: Judith Hochman and Natalie Wexler (coming Friday!)

We need hope, agency, dignity as teachers, students, citizens. How can we promote these through what we do/don't do? Opinion | I stopped reading the news. Is the problem me — or the product? #teacherstudent #PBL #pblchat washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

1 of the problems w/ Science of Reading:"What’s happening in NYC reflects broader trend where teachers are expected to negotiate contradictory pressures to teach reading in culturally relevant way but assess reading in ways that strips it of all relevance" edweek.org/teaching-learn…

Decoding necessary to reading, but INSUFFICIENT. Yes kids need phonemic awareness but no one ever became a reader because they were psyched about consonant blends. See 10 dimensions of reading necessary to joy+love+deep engagement #Reading #English sites.google.com/boisestate.edu…

Another #firstweek activity is to have students organize their Drive. Have you ever looked at their #Googledrive?? It's similar to looking under their bed! #messy Too many times we assume Ss have #Google skills and don't explicitly teach them. bit.ly/3JNqrUZ

Don’t waste any time with the back and forth going on! This is solid when it comes to word reading and then there is MUCH MORE! #Knowledge Like always Marnie Ginsberg nails it! How Children Learn to Read - the Science of Reading by Sound | Phonics Hero phonicshero.com/how-children-l…

Building Background Knowledge in Science Improves Reading Comprehension ow.ly/NpiO50NGpkx via Usable Knowledge

A Saratoga Springs City School District kindergarten student show how their work with letter formation, spacing, spelling of high-frequency words, self-expression, and communication of scientific knowledge grew over four months. Now that’s what we call #results - ow.ly/oYLI50NIskN
