    A1: the heaviest amount of reading that I do is summer break. I find the year so busy. The discovery of audiobooks has been great because I can listen while at the gym. We have to make time and with all kids have outside school I know they need time in it to read #bookcamppd

    In reply to @mrbgilson
  • PlayYay Jan 13 @ 7:38 PM EST
    A1: I do a lot of reading in my own! I love reading books in a series or for learning. I like to drink something warm or turn off the TV to read. I also like to lay down to read and I know lots of my students like to lay on the carpet or sit in a comfy chair to read! #BookCampPD
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216
  • kruevans Jan 13 @ 7:38 PM EST
    A1: I'm always reading. I read maybe 10 books at a time. I'm reading only ONE professional teacher book in 2019 though. "These 6 Things" by @davestuartjr. For me depth > breadth (at least in my own mind!) I start a lot of books and abandon them. #bookcampPD

  • BridgetGengler Jan 13 @ 7:39 PM EST
    A1: I do tons of reading on my own. For professional reasons, personal growth and pure pleasure. I usually choose from some sort of recommendation. I am intentional with my time reading . My reflections make me aware that my Ss need choice . #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:39 PM EST
    A1: I choose books by mood. Sometimes I look for a challenging read or I may want something easy; sometimes I want to learn related to interest or career; sometimes I want a distraction. Reading at the same time of day and place helps, creating a pattern. #BookCampPD #literacy
  • Dsoares_MiddHS Jan 13 @ 7:39 PM EST

    Q2. If we visited your school, went on a tour with you and others, what would the visible signs and artifacts say about what is most valued? #BookCampPD
  • heARTISTatWORK Jan 13 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1a: I read daily but it isn’t always a book. I choose books based on my mood I’ve noticed, may be my curious brain wants to learn or I want to escape into fiction. To keep me focused comes from the book, if it doesn’t grab my attention other things will... #BookCampPD

  • trishgoosen Jan 13 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1. Read on avg. 30 min daily. Suggestions from others in #pln. Keep distractions in check by focusing the book. What works for me can work for Ss but requires modeling and differentiation #BookCampPD
  • 2ndGradeMama Jan 13 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1: I try to have a book at all time in my purse/bedside table. I find that I get my book recommendations from friend on Twitter like @emilyfranESL I find that I choose to read more NF and this reminds me that my Ss might have their own preferences too & embrace that. #bookcampPD

    A1 Choice and Time. Both need to be personal to the reader in order to have it as a routine part of their day. #BookCampPD
  • carlameyrink Jan 13 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1 I try to read most of the books that go into the secondary classroom libraries, so I read constantly. Mostly YA which I love, interspersed with professional books & adult books for my book club. #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:40 PM EST
    Wow. Interesting. I often read a bunch at a time, but choosing one professional book for the whole year is an intriguing commitment; I love the idea of depth being more important than breadth; interesting to connect to student reading. #bookcamppd

    A1: My husband and I turn off all tech at 6:30 pm and read. Every week, my students and I set WOOP goals and mine is usually to read every night. The students hold me accountable by asking what I read and for how long the previous night😃 #BookCampPD
  • heARTISTatWORK Jan 13 @ 7:41 PM EST
    A1b: if I apply this to my Ss I have to help them find what they are in the mood for, what interests them, and remind them that what they enjoyed this week may change in a month and that’s ok #BookCampPD

    In reply to @mjjohnson1216, @Dsoares_MiddHS
  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:41 PM EST
    A1: Students need lots of book options, a variety of levels and genres, need book recs, need to be immersed in books, and consistency with reading time. Talking with peers about books incites interest. Readers develop allegiances to authors and genres over time. #BookCampPD

    A1: As I reflect I need to be more mindful of giving my 3rd graders some silent reading time - I always looked forward to this time when I was in school Especially since I have class full of readers this year - I need to support that #BookCampPD
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216
  • JulieGB7 Jan 13 @ 7:42 PM EST
    Q1: I always have a bk w/me. I get in rdg time if I'm waiting for appt, or have time. Keep book w/me so it's always handy. I'm motivated by my #PLN, book studies, learning about new book recommendations. I also "reward" myself for completing bks by buying a new one! #bookcamppd
  • 2ndGradeMama Jan 13 @ 7:42 PM EST
    A2: At my classroom you would see the string of books that we have read a loud. Our school posted #BogerReads signs outside of all the classrooms to show our Ss that the teachers read too. #bookcampPD

  • teacherknikki Jan 13 @ 7:43 PM EST
    I read in short bursts. Today, I was trapped in the house bc of the snow, so I finished my book, but I usually time my reading. My focus is really jumpy so I set a timer to keep me focused. I do the same in my classes. My kids read everyday for the first 5 mins. #bookcamppd

    A2: There are posters throughout our school, created by our art dept, each with a teacher from a variety of departments, in a related setting and situation to a book, with a short passage from the text, which acted as book recs and showed the school valuing reading. #BookCampPD
  • JulieGB7 Jan 13 @ 7:43 PM EST
    A1a: I'm also trying to get in more reading time this year. Starting with audiobooks is helping w/this as well (although I still prefer to read along w/the audio). #bookcamppd

    A1. Usually read 2-3 at a time - a YA lit, a prof book, and a NF. Whatever serves my mood that night. Usually read in bed, but also have a reading nook where I keep noise-canceling headphones or plug into Pandora for some sounds of the ocean. #BookCampPD
  • heARTISTatWORK Jan 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

    Q3. Do conversations in your classroom already reflect three aspects (BHH) of the reading experience? If not, which aspect needs attention? If yes, which aspect needs greater attention? #BookCampPD - What do I wonder? - What did I notice? -What did I take to heart? #BookCampPD
  • LiteracyChef Jan 13 @ 7:45 PM EST
    A2 You will see Ts and Ss immersed in the literacy process through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Book talks and clubs of varying genres, coaching after school sessions, writing center, new YA lit in library, Ts collaborating, to name a few. #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:45 PM EST
    A2: In grade 9 English classes there are wish lists generated by students and teacher reading lists (past/now/next). Student analysis of work related to skills, analyzing texts, and anchor charts of key terms and vocab can also be found. And 100s of books by genre! #BookCampPD

  • 2ndGradeMama Jan 13 @ 7:49 PM EST
    A3: #BookcampPD When we read aloud with accountable talk we do try to reflect on all aspects of BHH. The one that I need to be more mindful of is "What did I take to Heart!"

    Q4. Instructional practices relate to your teaching whereas procedural practices relate to routines and rituals - such as use of textbooks. What best practices do you follow in your subject area? (See graphic). #BookCampPD

  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:50 PM EST
    A3: Conversations, reading, and student writing do connect to book, head, and heart, but I wonder whether we focus on Disruptive Thinking’s interpretation of “book:” identifying what the book says (distinct from reader response). This helps to evaluate texts. #BookCampPD
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Jan 13 @ 7:50 PM EST
    sometimes I notice I start to think of other things and have to go back a page to see what I missed 🙄 #BookCampPD The distractions are in my head lol

  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:51 PM EST
    A3: Difference between “head” and “heart” by Beers & Probst intrigue me. Head includes connections to text, world, and self (in our English curriculum expectations). It seems book and head are in dialogue; the reader’s view may shift as a result of this dialogue. #BookCampPD

    Larger graphic of the instructional practices #BookCampPD
  • iluveducating Jan 13 @ 7:51 PM EST
    A4: I give choice and encourage an increase in volume. Ss are allowed to check out any book in the media center and they set goals for themselves each quarter with no consequences or T-driven rewards for reaching goals. Circulation is up 400% from last year. #bookcamppd
  • carlameyrink Jan 13 @ 7:52 PM EST
    A4 We don't use textbooks at all. We read novels, short stories & have lots of class discussions. Spiderweb discussions have put Ss in the lead & I've found that they tend to go deeper than teacher-led discussions. #bookcamppd
  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:52 PM EST
    A3: Heart focuses on personal, emotional responses to text. These could be the focus of a discussion about the text. These relate to empathy and lead to enjoying reading. These could lead to students having intrinsic motivation which will drive and sustain reading. #BookCampPD
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Jan 13 @ 7:52 PM EST
    It sure caused me to pause and reflect! #BookCampPD
    In reply to @Mr_Schellenberg
  • clairecummings Jan 13 @ 7:52 PM EST
    A3: BHH is alive and well after reading Disrupting Thinking. We hold Book Talks every day after our 15 minutes of read to self and students must share the title of the book and either a book, head, or heart reflection. #BookCampPD

    Absolutely. I get distracted and need to reread, especially if it is an important part of a book. Sometimes I make the decision not to go back and reread after I recognize that I may have been daydreaming or thinking of something else. #bookcamppd

  • Mr_Schellenberg Jan 13 @ 7:56 PM EST
    A3: Routines/rituals establish the value of books and reading, and help to eliminate fake reading. Book talks, reading, conferences, writing, discussion, and sharing immerse Ss in text where a vocab for discourse and analysis naturally grows and deepens over time. #BookCampPD
  • MrU_ishere Jan 13 @ 7:56 PM EST
    A4. Our practices have ebbed-and-flowed based on materials we've been handed and the direction that's been set & practices admins have wanted to see. We've regrettably left practices I did 10 years ago - inde choice, 1:1 confs, mini-lessons on reading strats. #BookCampPD
  • LiteracyChef Jan 13 @ 7:56 PM EST
    A3 Exploring wht Ss take to heart is a great place to start bc making connections creates safe thinking space for them to start questioning what they think they know and then Ts can scaffold their questioning to guide Ss into noticing new things- higher level thinking #BookCampPD
  • JulieGB7 Jan 13 @ 7:57 PM EST
