Conducting small groups this year? Listen to this interview with researchers, and post-interview conversation with educators about practical takeaways for the classroom. Here, or wherever you get your podcasts: jenniferserravallo.com/blog/…
ALT "I would be suspicious of a program where small group is just intended as a small group replication of whatever they're getting in whole group, because that....certainly doesn't seem data driven or student driven. It's not really about the kids that are in your class and the immediate needs that they have." Dr Kristin Conradi-Smith TO the Classroom Podcast

A friend shared that her daughter, an amazing teacher, is leaving the profession. The wage is not livable for her - a single person with reasonable bills + some student loans. That breaks my heart. We have to do better.

The need for career and technical education is at an all-time high, which is why #TeamKentucky has awarded $75 million to upgrade vocational education centers. These investments will help ensure Kentuckians have the skills and trades needed to compete in the workforce.
🔨92% of high schoolers engage in career and technical education (CTE).
💰CTE associate degrees pay up to $10,000 more annually than other associate degrees.
🎓94% of CTE students graduate high school.
CTE reaps benefits. 🤩

Our teachers are the best of #TeamKentucky. They prove daily how much they care for our children and our future. We will always support them, just as they do for our kids every single day.

Lately, I'm left scratching my head at the way key concepts about reading instruction are explained and defined. So, I made a glossary and provided links to hopefully clear up confusion. I hope it's helpful! jenniferserravallo.com/blog/…
