So many educators are putting in the hard work to learn on their own time and gain the knowledge to ensure all kids can read. It is amazing to watch some of our leaders step up too. It takes everyone, to support our teachers in the way they deserve, to provide the funding…

“Top Gun: Maverick” is amazing for many reasons, from its spectacularly-shot action, well-done story that balances joy with heartstring-pulling, and well-written, endearing characters. Combined with all that though, it was the first movie where Miles Teller won me over. Kudos

Did @ReadingShanahan's latest about whole group vs. small group instruction strike a chord with you? If so, check out @mrjergenskinder's 4-part blog series about how he organizes his ELA block around whole group instruction: goyen.io/blog/putting-t…
@PeskyDyslexia @mrjergenskinder But, unfortunately, there are many instances where small group is done just to small group and leaves 15-20 other students receiving zero instruction for 45-60 minutes daily and instead, completing a plethora of busy work.
@PeskyDyslexia @mrjergenskinder That’s definitely not what I’m saying or what this Shanahan post says at all. The second sentence of what I screenshot says “there are enough situations in which small group instruction makes a lot of sense…” and what you describe is a perfect example.
