When a student responds to an open-ended question, we then have the opportunity to "step it up" or "step it down" by providing challenge or providing support. Great takeaways for teachers from Tricia Zucker & Sonia Cabell's work! πŸ’¬ More in this article: files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED6... #EduSky

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with the library tip

Your library might have a collection of Useful Things you can check out for personal use. Anything from tools to baking pans to garden seeds to home projectors to toys to science kits to sports equipment to music instruments. Take a look!

One of my goals this year is increasing opportunities for teachers to do peer visits - would love to hear about effective intervisitation strategies/protocols/ideas teachers have found helpful in other districts! #EduSky

We’ve been having check-in meetings with teachers at each school between PD sessions, and it’s been a great opportunity to collect info on what has helped and what are new wonderings. Always looking for ideas though!

Has anyone had an issue with #alttext seemingly not saving on this platform? I have reminders on and have added alt text for every image I’ve posted, but it’s now only appearing on about 60% of them. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue!

That’s exciting! I’m spending part of this week finalizing the work plans for next week’s literacy PD sessions. I love thinking about how our PD time can be responsive to teachers’ needs, so I’m excited to dig into possibilities! #EduSky #EduCoach

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words β€œrequest a title” or β€œsuggest a title” to find yours.
