There is no perfect curriculum…say it again, louder, for those in the back. You have to evaluate, adjust, and modify for the students in front of you. You can use a curriculum and supplement for the students in front of you. @drtharris #ncte22

Yay for the soft start! Happy beginning of school! Miss you all.
Soft start in @micheleasprer’s kinder class! Practicing name writing on the sign in sheet and having some play time! #WeAreRUSD
This is spot on. Thank you @CarlaShalaby

Here is the blog post I promised. It talks about the recent NY Times article criticizing the work of Lucy Calkins. It looks at ALL the research as it defends the use of Balanced Literacy practices. doctorsam7.blog/2022/05/27/a…

You said it! 100 percent! As a former journalist, I see exactly how the author manipulated this information.
One-sided journalism at its best. A K-2 program that doesn’t include phonics instruction is a ridiculous concept, laughable to expect that it would have sustained school districts for decades and this article somehow unearthed some glaring ‘truth.’ nytimes.com/2022/05/22/us/re…

It paints such a deliberately myopic picture of TCRWP and the Units of Study. Written to inspire indignation, to be retweeted, to whip people up into a frenzy. As usual, the victims of this kind of story are children. And workshop teachers. And Staff Developers. Sick of this.

While the new research is important, it takes nothing away from the work Lucy Caulkins has done to give students and teachers voice and choice. Empowering students to become authors is vital for developing the motivation to both read & write. via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2022/05/22/us/re…

The Cold Spring School second grade students had their Small Moment Personal Narrative publishing party today. I love how @SSchaupeter created a special outdoor space for every student to shine! We have some proud writers! @ACSA_info @SmallSchoolDA @litpartnersdd @LucyCalkins

A4 I’ve been an educator for 50 years and in all those years I’ve never met any two children who need exactly the same thing. Yet we still give a thumbs up to one-size-fits-all testing leading to one-size-fits-all approaches. It’s the ultimate dumb and dumber! #G2Great
Perfectly said. “Break free from taking a mastery mindset”. Also if you everyone could master it in one lesson, is it really the best lesson for all your students?
When it comes to minilessons, break free from taking a mastery mindset. This can lead to overteaching & can limit risk taking in your Ss. Instead, keep this portion of the workshop short leaving more time for independent practice & responsive instruction #LiteracyTipTuesday

Yesterday was the last meeting of the year with these amazing coaches. What an honor to learn alongside these thoughtful, dedicated educators! @TeacherMCrosby @karynformano @mariarios @jacquierob1 @RascalDurrin @RowlandSchools

Replace books with harmful stereotypes that absolutely contributes to anti-Asian hate. Provide students with “real stories of Asians who share our common thread of humanity.” TY @pacylin for this powerful virtual book exhibit. Every educator needs this! sway.office.com/WKX5iPElZMoM…

Here’s one way that you bridge work in one language to the other. Not only does rdg support wrtg, but also supports the language necessary to grow ideas and conversations (and writing!) in Eng & Span. #tcrwp #duallanguage
