๐๏ธ After 20+ years in public education, I began questioning the very system I'd spent my career working within.
What if we do things simply because they're familiarโnot because they're best?

What parallels are there between Jo Boaler's insights in math and writing instruction? Research says a lot! #elemwriting #elachat #edadmin #teachingwriting

I think this is one of the major failing of our education systems. We haven't managed to persuade our students that when we assess their work, we are trying to assess the quality of the thinking that led to the work, for which the work is a proxy...
Composing alongside conventions will yield not only better writers, but also more engaged writers.
Iโm continually puzzled by programs that make encoding a prerequisite for composing. Instead, we should take a parallel approach where we teach composition and conventions next to each other. Without this we miss the compositional thinking of children when they are making books.

What a joy it was to provide teachers feedback today as they implement proficiency scales and student agency at Lafayette County C-1! Great work going on here! #kdfiredup โฆ@KDFIREDUPโฉ โฆ@AaronKnipmeyerโฉ
Yes!
Some of my most transformative moments were when I received words of encouragement!

Much of what youโve been told about long-term goals is wrong.
The most successful people donโt follow a straight path. They zig and zag.
Hereโs whyโand how you can use the same approach: ๐งต
The value of this cannot be overstated! Writing identity is a make or break aspect of student achievement.

Quantitative evidence of the impact of teacher-student relationships on achievement is thin on the ground, so this paper on the positive benefits of "looping" (teaching the same class for more than one year) by @MatthewAKraft and colleagues is important: bit.ly/4bBiBvD

Some believe the majority of learning happens when the teacher's teaching.
The majority of the learning happens when the learners are engaging in the task.
The teacher prepped this learning with information, knowledge, skills & tools.
But they are learning in the doing.
