Significant effects were associated with 16 hours or more of PD, train the trainer not as effective in the end, need follow up
The things we do to children in school are the very things we would shriek about if they were done to us as adults.

Learning from Lucy at https://t.co/sBCFWPk3tp
Lucy Caulkins "Too many students know how to read and choose not to....Our challenge. Speaking at ILA
"You cannot change the students, but you can change the way you teach."
Do I want to be a student in my own classroom? such a powerful question! Wow!
Epiphany-it wasn't the students' fault they are disengaged. Ask yourself, "Do I want be a student in this classroom?"
We need to ask ourselves if we would want to be students in our own rooms.
Linda Hoyt with nonfiction it has to be rich, not just right
Make it rich, not just right (wise grammar advice).
PD - why or how do certain things work? How do we improve the quality of research in PD - need to measure teacher & student impact

Calkins: Instruction in nonfiction must move rdrs towards independence so remove scaffold not next month but tomorrow.
(Desmione 2009) paper NOT saying these ARE most effective, just literature review shows these often and that they should be studied
Effective PD - content focus, active teacher learning, coherence, duration, collective participation
It's not what to teach, but how. Easier said than done. The trick is demonstration, and gradually removing the scaffolding.
Great to see you here joining us, Rachel!
Statistically significant effects occur only with 14 hours or more of PD.

Research: reading enjoyment is as more important for children’s educational success than their families SES status.
Show kids what reading looks like! 👉 illustrations. Pause 4 reflection. Find root words. Imagine context.

Great job. I loved your talk. Let's make coaching effective.
Pernille: “Fidelity” is becoming my least favorite F- word in education
We read aloud w/fluency & expression to model beautiful reading. We also need to model writing that the students are growing toward.
Levels are a teacher's tool, not a child's label. quote shared by right??
The real question is not what to teach, but how to teach it
If students can’t access a text,provide supports to make it accessible:paired reading, audiobooks, independent reading
[Reading] levels are a teacher's tool NOT a CHILD'S LABEL!
My 5th graders didn’t need levels. They needed to know who they are as readers.
Caution teachers who use F and P! Even these researchers are concerned with the use of their resource. https://t.co/Qk393ZqxTB

Valencia: coaching in secondary really needs to work on "changing the grammar of schooling" (I missed name she quoted)
Learning to read involves more risk and more fear than most of us realize.
Write in front of kids but plan in advance.
Put ideas on sticky notes--use teaching point for focus. Craft--do best.
Lucy reminding us- learning to read requires more risk and more fear than any of us realize.
"My 5th graders didn't need levels, they needed to know who they were as readers."

There should always be time for read alouds. It's so important!
. "my Ss didn't need to know what level, they needed to understand who they were as readers." https://t.co/J94B9Ijn41
Our main goal is to help our students read and think independently

No one wants to be alone, esp during the hard parts of life. Learning to read involves more risk/fear than we might realize-Calkins
"students will persevere when a text matters to them"
I have that in my "to read" pile.
Why do we ROB kids of choice? Why do we do crazy things that stop kids from becoming readers? (AR, lexile, levels)
When S write about a book, you are enhancing their comprehension.
YES! I have read most of her titles and always enjoyed each one.

Humans aren't made to be alone. It's true for adults... & kids. helps w/ the hard times in life.
I am NOT! But told I need to be!!!!! Is it an APP?
Valencia: secondary coaching can be challenging: schedule, numbers of teachers/students, tradition
Students will persevere if they are interesting in a book.
. reminds us levels for young'uns. Yes! Research says 2nd grade max (and even then, they must be exposed to a variety)
We have to create classrooms that do not run on shame, but run on community.
Anything by her is fantastic!

We teach with structures and traditions that say, "THIS is who we are" - Lucy Calkins
A2: I have gotten back into reading for pleasure as well as professional. Finding a balance.
Every teacher should think of him/herself as a CEO of a startup. What are my beliefs? How will this be embodied in the culture?
A2:Twitter/PLN have influenced me by reminding me 2 take time 2 & providing great recommendations!

Loved that book. Need to read some of the others!!
"To get the pizza you have to sign the reading log..."
Valencia: We had to help Ts use the text they had, not ones we/they wished they had
A2. I get most of my professional reads from Twitter .
Pizza has nothing to do with reading. Reading is the reward!
We are so obsessed with tracking things that we've forgotten what's important.
WE have gotten so obsessed with tracking things that we have forgotten why we teach reading (levels reading logs etc)
A2: I get so many amazing recommendations! Have made so many friends who love books as much as I do!

Talking about that right now at session. https://t.co/qNqcGjS5kc
A2. Where to begin... is hands down my game changer. It's helped me grow tremendously through connecting w/ others.

PD most effective when centered around inquiry. Gay Su Pinnell
Simple technique--intro S with ing word to add action.
Let kids experiment and help them see there are lots of ways to say it - go beyond "Bears have fur."
Engage colleagues in inquiry-based collegial conversations - continuous professional learning.
Interactive graphic novels online? Technology of pen and paper just as effective if not more than a screen
The most important question to ask S: Why do you think that?
Inquiry based Prof Learning w/ bk study, study groups, lesson study, planning, study data

Learning to read gives us friends, enemies and moves us fiercely out of our comfort zones. https://t.co/VIU7gLPcZ7
Calkins: Humans don't want 2be alone-true 4adults &true 4kids as well-Learning 2read involves more risk & fear than we realize
I am not using those at moment. I need to learn 1 at a time well. :)
Slack is tricky, since like voxer a bit hard to find the right groups.
Irene Fountas... Coaching is about fostering a culture of trust
Thank u, Lucy Calkins, 4 authentic storytelling 2 make pt of school/classroom culture needing Ts 2 read books 2 bridge empathy
"Literature teaches us to empathize" Mahalo Lucy Calkins 🌺
Why is reading and writing always seen as silent activities?
Coaching: It's not what one teacher does - it's how they come together as a team. Irene Fountas
Imagination allows us to walk in the shoes of people other than ourself.
Have never heard of that?
She's an amazing lady! We need a book of Inspiration by Lucy.
When the coaching culture is a collaborative one and not a goal of 1 teacher, we make measurable gains. -Irene Fountas
LOL, I mostly just lurk and need to learn more about them myself.
Imagination allows us to walk in another's shoes. To experience their journey and develop empathy.
PD is teachers working together toward common goals
Coaching is not done to people.It is about working towards common goals. Everyone's goal must be student learning& well being
Missing you all, too! Thanks!
We need to create situation where natural collaborating and sharing is embraced.
Exactly! Lurking while learning.
Limit how much time WE talk so that our students can talk.
Coaches aren't fixing teachers or changing lessons, but changing how the teacher thinks and reacts to student growth. -Irene Fountas
: not just changing what the teacher DOES, but changing how the teacher THINKS. That takes more, more important, work.
Loving the tweets from my PLN...keep'em coming guys...learning so much through you! ❤️📚
Effective coaching is not about changing teachers but changing teacher's thinking.
Eliminate words like "I like" – it’s not the job of the coach to judge the teacher.
I read Alice! Need to check it out!
"Limit how much you say, so students can talk" says . She even sets a timer! I should do that, too!
take away from Day 1: it's vital to be empathetic to all...literacies enable us to do so & to teach our Ss to do the same.
Goal of PD isn't to change what teacher does but how teacher thinks. Irene Fountas.
Learning floats on a sea of talk (Britton) and yet, teachers are estimated to speak 60-75% of the time.
I need to explore Voxer this summer. I hear so many good things!
Have not BLABbed yet either!
A thread seems to be running in -We can teach empathy & create the world we want through . We CAN change the world!
: goal of coaching: a commitment to continuous professional learning - coach included. What I GIVE to coach, too.
Love your Favorite Book Tree idea! My students will, too!
Literature as a powerful vehicle to teach empathy Lucy Calkins
WE need to read to remember the scale and grandeur of the work that we’re doing. ~ Calkins
Collegial generosity. Oooooh, yes.
Administrators. Have you ever thought of a focused observation? Who is doing the talking in the classrooms? https://t.co/tratDdHhda
: "How many times do I need to be coached?" is diff from culture where EVERYONE is learning
Show them the transparency, show your thinking and process so they can learn to use these strat. to make writing rich.
Std run book tree: kids display books & have ‘silent conversation’ w/each other thru advertising. (from Nancie Atwell
Love. I can't wait to start year two of coaching. Build rapport, work with the willing, take risks. https://t.co/RtkOwReqLD
Coaching: It's not what one teacher does - it's how they come together as a team. Irene Fountas
: "you don't need to be a bad teacher to get better" (missed quote)
"You don't have to be a bad teacher to get better."
“Tell me more about that…” one of the easiest ways to get students to speak more.
Reading & Imagination is key to teaching empathy. 📖 into other people's 👟. ❤️ Lucy Calkins at
Calkins: We need to read to remember the grand scale of we are doing
My daughters were supposed to come see me at , but then they saw this playground... Daddy ain't THAT cool... https://t.co/A8Ng3WsTwp

Calkins: We need to read to remember the grand scale of what we are doing
Start reading conference "what are you working on as a reader?"
We need to read to understand the great work we're doing. L. Calkins
You don't have to be a bad teacher to get better. PD should be done to you, but for you and with you.
What if our students generated and voted on the essential questions we investigate? Digging a great session w/ 🤔💡📚
Collegial generosity and teamwork for continuous professional learning. Can we create this culture for school learning?
Create opps in your classroom where Ss can have silent opportunities to connect. Vital in short MS & HS ELA blocks.
Do it! You will love using - get to hear passion in voices!
Set up a “our favorite books” place where students can share books that they love with their peers.
Start a writing conference with, “What are you wanting to work on… How can I help you?”
to understand the scale and importance of this reading work- we need to be readers.
I love it. It's a different way to connect and get to know people.
: coach observes a lesson not to judge it, but to be the "memory of the lesson"
"You don't have to be be a bad teacher to get better."
Not all writing is visible.
Ask students questions about what they need to learn, but we must also give them the vocabulary to do so (& sample goals/skills)
Not all writing is visible.
Students should know what their individual writing process is.
Not all writing is visible. I write in silence waiting for the 1st line to hit me. Give students time to ponder
: if first words are "How did I do?" we're not there. Instead T should come in already analyzing from student feedback
Yes! This is how I've found some of my favorite chats!
"You don't have to be a bad teacher to get better"
The goal of coach is to increase the teacher's desire for further professional learning. Irene Fountas
Coaching not about Giving feedback, but rather analyzing together.
"You don't have to be a bad teacher to get better. Continuous professional learning is the goal."
Have a great Saturday! And enjoy !
My role as a coach is 2 develop teachers'sense of agency.Not 2 tell everyone what you did is ok.Harder 2 do but skads more effective.
The more teachers are deliberate in their planning, the more empowered teachers are in their in-the-moment decisions
What are some free digital assessments to determine a benchmark exile score for students?
We can't coach for the sake of coaching. We need a common vision and goal. -Irene Fountas
: schools are not about one teacher, they are about delivering consistent education opportunities to children all year

Thin out your language--language becomes confusing--make sure it is developmentally appropriate and your conferences will be simpler.

Recommendation: Thin out language used to teach grammar. Make sure it's developmentally appropriate.

Very few children are passionately driven by a single adult life goal.
Success of a series: you want to be in the books or be the character in their adventures.

speaking eloquently about the importance of developing authentic characters especially in books about different cultures
Squeeze it once and let it go. Focus on one thing at a time to make writing better.
OMG. The biggest frustration with TPT. It may be cute, but what's the LEARNING?!
"Your classroom library should be your focal point not your desk"
Books won't teach literacy by its self. Don't assign reading. Teach reading and collaborate w/ families.
Keep sharing all of the great info from ! Wish I was there with you!
I do kinda wish I could live tweet this House Dem Policy Directory because ooo boy, she's telling a story of infighting
Thank you F.Scott Fitzgerald! Because of you my horizons have broadened & I've explored a new world.
not directly quoting, thinking aloud: Yes, I agree we have a civil rights issue in US ed. No, I don't think testing solves it
not directly quoting, thinking aloud: And no, I don't think judging, not growing teachers, fixes it
was eventful today. Share your thoughts and photos from the day. It has been a great conference so far!

good fun session re writing traits
Enjoying the conversation about ESSA
Child literacy opportunities are powerful when schools, libraries & families are coordinated.
"Attention and memory are the two main road blocks for young readers."
it's now turned into sort of a drinking game with this phrase
just admitted she's a relentless self-Googler! Love it!
I'm inferring and not directly quoting that really likes . I'm thinking aloud that isn't necessarily a good thing.
reminding Ts of power of classroom org & teams looking at standards to promote quality inst
"Grumpy bird" & "The Invisible Boy" are great books to start teaching your child emotion and empathy.
I love F.Scott Fitzgerald writing! I'm laying in bed reading, "This Side Of Paradise" on my phone.
read online now, not directly quoting - doesn't require , but DOES require state standards meet "college & career"
not directly quoting - I do like the sound, though need to know more, about the support for migratory student populations
Families are good at keeping secrets. You just don't know what kids need.
"A fuzzy sense of the essentials results in fuzzy activities which in turn results in fuzzy student understanding" Tomlinson& Diller
I see pics from & I see very few teachers of color & a LOT of gray hair. Students are more Black & Brown each year.
Kids use 10x more rare words during family dinners. Families that eat together ... support literacy!
Try to find a book in booth #2225 that features a dog! How many Candlewick treasures have you found?
Tbh, disappointed by lack of in YA . Great sounding books, no black or brown people
iAm going to do this with my learners!!!
! Heard you were at . Wished I could've met you. I've never been. How many Ts or POC did you see at the conference?
. asserts empowers kids to think about what they're writing (in response to their reading).
advice (I am losely quoting a non-congressional panelist): Find out how to get at the table as your state makes decisions about
We don't need to write books that deal with everything all at once; we need lots of books to deal with diverse issues - Mike Jung
Henrietta Dombey discusses detriments of exclusively technical focus in literacy learning. Need to emphasize LOVE of reading/writing!
What kind of kid does your school want kids to be? What’s done in every classroom each day to encourage that?
Not all kids have to read these (tricky topic) books, but there needs to be a CHOICE (paraphrasing )
"A book is a great place to practice saying no. If we take away that experience in books, what happens in real life?"
Thanks! I'm just following convos on Twitter. Just wondering: How many teachers of color are around you?
Following on Twitter from my home in Austin! Lots of great professional learning!
Lunch time is time for sharing not just staring at your 💻. tips sure speak to me!
Great first day at ILA and it's not over yet. Fun to see so many familiar faces, hear so many inspiring and thought-provoking talks.
on maintaining a portfolio of student writing: No need for ELA worksheets, let students practice on their own work.
Wow! Thanks to everyone at who came out to pack the house our session! Great energy & great advocates. TY for all you do
"I feel less alone now" is the message gets in letters. How dare we not give students access to these touch topic books?!
You are the sum of all your training
Best Practices Writing Instruction: When kids practice in the context of their own work, it makes more sense to them. No worksheets
THANK YOU FOR THIS & please tell me you are not the only TOC at ! Should we ask if there?
3rd time today we've talked about non-word "texts" (pics, video). We need to expand the definition of literacy!
not directly quoting, inferring states get to decide accountability
(P.S. really messed this up in NYS b4 leaving)
So glad to meet in person at last, ! Great chatting with you 😊
Writing is The New Black! Masterfully done, Ruth Culham! ILA! Indeed, the writing Revolution is here!
Doing it louder and longer is not going to make a difference if it wasn’t good to begin with.
The lunch room is a great place for teachers and leaders to promote 😍 📚 together during !
THANK YOU, a non-congressional panelist I can quote said literacy funding is critical, "it's can be all STEM, you have to read"
Great! Reports of another officer death resulted from protester's ambush in
Wow! Cluttered classrooms have more inattention & misbehavior than organized rooms. Limiting colors to 2-3 solids is calming to Ss.
Teacher Chat: close looking you have to find the words but close reading you have to find the picture.
This Is terrible!! Reports of another officer death resulted from protester's ambush in
YAAAAAAASSS! Thanks for bringing it up! I wonder if when it comes to speakers. https://t.co/iOiTFMbMLI
Tbh, disappointed by lack of in YA . Great sounding books, no black or brown people

. celebrates the possibilities of cross pollination of ideas - social justice around food & soc justice around literature.

"Humor is a coping mechanism, a human way of communicating."
I read a galley at today-- perfect way to end the trilogy! ❤️
. I wonder what Ts response is to the recent slayings. We can't just say 'Read your book.' Literacy is liberation.
Kids feel betrayed when books present unrealistic endings. The sad parts of the books are not the problem -paraphrasing
Audience question: The federal government is putting a lot of demands on schools, but where is funding for housing, food, etc.

Independent reading and being and independent reader are not necessarily the same thing.
"Ss should be spending more time reading, writing, & talking about reading and writing than reading & building crafts."
"We don't ask basketball coaches why kids are dribbling balls. Why ask teachers why kids are independently reading?"
Preschool writers need: conceptual, procedural and generative knowledge.

Independent rdg and being an independent reader doesn't necessarily mean same thing
Great to get to hear you this morning!
Independent reading and being an independent reader are not necessarily the same thing.
Independence involves struggle. Struggle is not a bad word.
"Every teacher should join Twitter! If you follow me, I'll follow you! Let's grow our PLNs!"
. compares writing to baking a cake. W/ fic, she picks all ingredients. W/ nonfic, she gets handed rando assortment.
Ind reading and being an independent reader aren't the same thing.
. reminds us that books can show us ourselves & our world
We don’t ask the coach why players are just dribbling during practice...why do we ask English teachers why Ss are “just reading"?
Independence involves struggle. It’s a normal part of the learning process so how can we find a way to embrace it.
"I've got research yes I do! I got research how 'bout you?" at
Independence involves struggle. Struggle is a normal part of the reading process. It is important and needed.
“This research is still novel” says in talking about e-reading and opinions of society.

Traditional mentor texts- trade books and teacher examples! Love these!
Means so much to me to have your support ! Student voice is as loud as ever.
Embrace the struggle. Struggle is important and needed.
If we want true independence, we need to embrace the struggle. Make struggle a positive word.
"We owe it to our students to read a plethora of children's literature to them"
Embrace the struggle and don't make the reading experience so easy there’s no work to do. Let's make it a positive word?
"Where are you creating the space for struggle?"

When teaching nonfic, show students primary sources & ask kids what they can tell about a person from them. -
Started this session with a book talk on 'Raymie Nightingale'
The biggest challenge is our misconceptions.
All children can become super readers when we tap into their inner strengths
Focus on the behaviors of the independent reader instead of the behaviors of the teacher.
Embrace the struggle & make it a positive experience.Don't go around stealing the learner's "high."
Observations almost always focus on the teacher but if we shift our lens to what kids are doing we stand to learn more.
you need the text set one too!! I'll get you one!

"rding & writing are 2 halves of the same pole. To have strong writers, we need to give Ss time for indep. rding."
What do you want kids to do w/ tech? It’s not about the tech or apps, it’s what your purpose is.
You shouldn't have to but apps for special education, all apps should reach all students, visual, auditory, sustaining interest.
You don't go 2 the game 2 watch the coach. You go 2 watch the players. Why don't we do the same in our classrooms?
Who did you watch the last time you went to a game..coach or players? Shift your lens to observe students, not teachers.
Some students read because they need to remember. Some students read because they need to forget.

All students are worthy of study and to be regarded with wonder.
The teachers who are most effective in engaging children in reading are the ones who are engaged readers themselves.
"Writing is individual, not unique."
All students are readers, yet their processes may look different.
There is always, always something to admire in Ss. And we build from there by adding to that.
How can we ADMIRE all Sts? (study w/wonder & awe)? We’d all love it if someone ADMIRES us so why don’t we do so for kids?
"You can't catch a cold or a love of reading from those who have neither"-

Turn a moment of misbehavior into something that could lead to a path of success. - Jarrett Krosoczka
So readers really do this? If not why are we doing this? How alive is your own reading life?
In order for students to become truly independent, we teachers must shift our roles. Who owns the learning?
"I want them to know that I have books on my e-shelf as well"
You can't catch a cold or a love of reading from someone who doesn't have on. Enjoying Donalyn Miller and this morning.
Are we modeling HOW we are e-readers for our students?

This is why the English language is one of the hardest languages to learn. Blended language
What is the cognitive stress level when you have to put on a different hat in every period and discipline!?!
On selecting text sets: Read each text (3 or 4) with the deliberative intention of making connections.
Aha moment: If you believe that learning to read & write are different, then you need to teach both, not just one.
After taking a running record, ask the reader: “Tell me something you did well while you were reading.”
How can we talk about what igniting a passion for literacy can look like if we join together to do that?
Reading and writing float on a sea of talk. Discussion is so powerful along with real world application!

Shared reading leads guided reading in new book (2 chapters added on this)
Teach a skill and before switching to a new text, stop and have kids identify the similarities and differences.
For transfer of a skill to work, kids must first point out sim and diff of two texts being used for transfer.
Shared reading, guided reading, and interactive read alouds are different strategeis, goals, and styles
Great session on graphic novels Aimeee Rogers
Asking kids to stop and tell the similarities and differences of one text from another dramatically increases transfer.
We should still use the Gradual Release model when using technology in instruction.

Teachers working together to assess *their own impact* has a very high [statistical] effect size
Powerful re evaluation models
We must show kids what success looks like up front. Hattie posts what A,B, and C papers look like for his Ss.
Video games increase the thrill of learning by raising the bar and having kids struggle to reach it.
When people tell their own story, that's when we begin to understand. It's beyond building new knowledge.

It's how to use Guided Reading not DO guided reading!
F&P Get rid of “do the lesson”Say use the GR approach to help children build an effective processing system for working through text
Challenging means the child learns more
This morning Amy Merrill shared her passion for literacy during the 30 Under 30 Power Hour. https://t.co/Q3cHwmapJv
We are not going to "do" guided reading. We are going to USE guided reading and teach children how to think like readers.
Challenging means the reader can learn more by engaging with the text. Irene Fountas
We have an overemphasis on close reading at the expense of books. We need a balanced reading diet.
Challenge fuels new learning. Up the ante even if it means skipping some levels!
Let's focus on how we USE guided reading rather than how we DO guided reading.
Let's go beyond guided reading and see it as a way to consider the depth of new leaning. &Pinnell
F&P: S need the appropriate amount of challenge for new work and learning
My MEd has been held up by 😳
Stopping school to teach to the test is NOT very impactful! and
Core belief: we believe in a balanced reading diet.
Teaching study skills vs test taking skills is a much better idea!
Study skills over test taking skills, forms appropriate habits
You are not what you profess to be but where you spend your time. via at
When things get hard some degree of physical activity are critical! Keep that in mind in your classrooms.
Readers build processing systems that are different than the other readers around them.
I cannot talk about hard things unless we’ve talked about mundane things first. -
Who killed repeated reading? -JG
Every reader builds a processing system different from another reader. Therefore instruction must be different!!
Before you talk things we need to talk @ mundane things to set the stage for those hard conversations
Let's use guided reading to help individual children learn and develop as individuals. &Pinnell
Fisher & Frey- How can we design literacy practices that are most effective for student learning? https://t.co/sX9BI0p8v7
Small group and teaching impacts lrng of our students Let's do it more.
Zoom in and observe the specific behaviors and respond to them. YES!!!!
If we are going to be responsive to our kids' needs, we have to ask why we are doing the things we are doing.
LitLoop of literacy: reading writing speaking listening and viewing especially important in English Learner setting
We are teaching lifelong skills, not skills in isolation. Teach for effective processing.
If we are going to be responsive to out changing students we need to keep asking 'What am I doing? Why?'"
We send kids to school loving to reread, but most grow to hate it-it's probably because we abuse it for "fluency" - JG
You can't talk about hard things unless kids can talk about mundane things first. Provide protocols on mundane first.
We are teaching kids how to infer for the rest of their lives. Not just for the length of a lesson.
Guided Rdg:use this instructional approach 2 help children build an effective processing system 2 work through text.
Collective teacher efficacy - PLCs, study groups, collaborating, has an effect size of 1.57!!!!!!!!!
Don't spend $10,000 on an expert when the knowledge is in the room- leverage teachers
Positive Design in collaboration with others ignites great things for schools.
"First increase the volume of reading, then increase the complexity."
and Getting T’s to work together effectively is the highest predictor of Ss increased achievement!
Observe the readers' precise behaviors in order to provide responsive teaching
We need to be "responsive to the students we have today...how they are changing" and
"We should never hold a strategy higher than our students' learning."
Engagement, volume, complexity, allegiance to authors and genres. In that order of priority.
Developing vocabulary knowledge... "The words we use define who we are."
The theme of this year's seems to be building a community of readers and writers
We should never hold a strategy in higher regard than our students
No one strategy should be held in higher esteem than Ss learning. If the Ss aren't learning, abandon the strategy.
Big picture for readers: increase volume, complexity, build allegiance to authors & genres.
visible literacy learning -surface learning vs deeper learning
Volume reading can't happen without engagement
Guided Reading is most effective when implementing within a multi-text approach -Fountas and Pinnell
Guided Reading is...most engaging when it takes place within a community of readers and writers, a space of Bal Lit.
Guided reading is most powerful when it involves responsive teaching.
Responsive teaching is really "noticing" what the child is doing and taking action.
engage -> volume -> complexity
Ss talk, what they read, and what they write are all behavior evidence of what students are doing.
Every student needs a great teacher, not by chance, but by design. We should reduce the variability of outcomes for kids.

: our passion is contagious
Monitoring three sessions simultaneously from California thank you
Deep level learning involves connections,relationships,schema to organize thinking,skills&concepts
People think running records are to check on the kids but we think it's to check on the teaching!
How do we motivate readers? Live our passion! Allow choice. Share book-talks.
Running records are checking the teaching not the student
Running records are about checking on the instruction not the reader!
Students (community) need to start with discussing the mundane before discussing heavy topics. Build relationships.

Teachers must consider not only the lexile of a text, but the topics in the text to determine appropriateness of the text for Ss.

Surface learning is IMPORTANT! Not synonymous w boring.Leverage prior knowledge,vocab techniques,rdg comp inst,wide rdg on topic,
Use the level of books to support readers, but telling parents, putting level on report card, or posting doesn't help the reader.
BK intro:T removes obstacles prior to S working through text. Set the student up for successful working thr/ the text.
If you want to know what your student knows, don't give a test. Sit beside them! Assidere = assess. Yes!!
"Guided Reading levels are not intended to be used on report cards, class libraries, student self selected text!"
Reading changes your life!! You can’t get good at reading if you don’t do it! Practice makes it permanent. &
During GR, we are teaching INDIVIDUALS within a group. The small group helps to make meeting with Ss efficient.
Let readers process the entire text. No room for round robin reading. You only get better if you read the entire text.
"Read two books on the same topic and do a podcast" Great idea for encouraging informational text reading
Book trailers good to use for reinforcing the power of Ss love to read books
Doug Fisher: You cannot get better at something you do not do. Practice makes it permanent. Read!
"Levels are a teacher's tool not a student's label."
Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes permanent.
Facilitative Language Ts response to S reading. When to be silent and when to say something to engage the reader.

Impactful facts on standardised tests delivered by Dr. Peter Johnston. We must shift to authentic assessment.
"A read aloud is an interpretation...if you read in a whisper you are bringing that out from the text."
Reward for child after reading should be that what you’ve taught them has helped them as readers. No more "good job."
"Standards are living in the text-be strategic in the text you choose." ~Engage NY curriculum writers
How you build stamina and strength with texts? Both are important
Enough of this "good", "good job", "I like how you..." STOP THAT! They aren't doing it for you!
We embrace confusion because it gives us an opportunity to learn.
None of "I like..."- They're not doing it for you, the reward for kids is they see what's helping them as a reader
Be with your students to build reading strength, commission them to build reading stamina
We must shift our assessment gaze to our own practice as much as student performance. -Dr. Peter Johnston
"Are you working on stamina or strength?" Questions literacy coaches should ask! Both are required!
Name specific reading behaviors when offering praise to readers.
simulation is so eye opening.
Are you working on stamina or strength? Asking the Lexie level of a book is the worst question to ask. https://t.co/XpO34enwpl
The Q is not What is the Lexile? Instead ask are you working on stamina or strength? Right text - right task.
"We need to shift our assessment gaze to our own practice as well as the assessment of children."

Confusion is the place where learning occurs. Embrace it.
Now you have the structure of a GR lesson down, you need to know the teaching moves.
The wrong question is what lexile is that book.The right question is are you building strength or stamina and will that text do that?
It's the interactions within the structure of the lessons that make the difference.
The wrong question is "what is the level of the text?"- the right question is "what are you using the text for?" -JG

Hello everyone!! Wonder-ful to hear.
met her this morning. She was amazing.
Q. From What do u think keeps ss from becoming attentive readers and engaged writers? What do you think?
One of the things that keep kids from engaging in reading and writing is confidence.
Encourage/foster/nurture curiosity through images with Ss in class
Google and use interesting info graphics to help model and give student practice reading deeply
One thing that prevents attentiveness and engagement is confidence.
Have students write beside infographics. Model attention to the source. Model saying things well. Model revising.

Lead & model a curious life as a T for ur Ss- always share ur question & care about finding the answers
Reading infographics. Model writing next to the information daily. What are you thinking? w https://t.co/UvZF7HIlCy
Give Ss infographics – science, economics, etc. – and ask them to engage in writing for meaning daily.
'One of our primary roles is to nurture kid's curiosity ' ILA16
Create a celebration-driven literacy community
Pair info graphics with your class reading or mentor texts
Construct meaning through reading, talking, drawing, & writing
Daily practice (~10 min) in writing about information -interesting infographics/information w/modeling, showing revising
Help Ss write with more confidence by giving them sentences starters and framers.
You can partner literature with infographics to fuel writing. Use sentence stems (frames) as support.
Confidence is key to building comprehension
Effective content literacy instruction relies on multi-source curriculum
“What does the infographic say and not say?” A favorite question for Ss from

Waiting for cocktails with Thank you this experience has been incredible!
If you want to build confidence, have students get together, think together, and write together.
Halls and walls teach- they can be interactive everywhere
Consider using colleagues,coach,and/or student 2 model the process of being an attentive rdr.Ss need a variety of models
When writing about infographics, kids write about...What does it say? What does this NOT say?
HOW did the author make me attend, how did they get me engaged in information/infographics
Don't forget about visual literacy in teaching content areas
Teachers and principals speak to how they roll up their sleeves and share joy of literacy leadership w/ their teams.

is reeling us in - Teach with the big ideas & essential questions in mind, creating opportunities for transfer.
When students care about what they’re reading and reading, they DO read and write, and want to get this RIGHT.
Daily writing and reading are going to build Ss confidence to be more attentive/ engaged readers and writers.
"Narrative isn't something we do it's who we are." via
Kids must have choice to care about reading and writing. If they care, it changes how they see reading & writing.

Turn and talk - to prevent kids from going too deep into device and isolating themselves
When choosing books, it starts students on the road to writing.

Thanks for moving the presentation to a big room. My brain is full of inspiration!
Kids have to keep a notebook - what you have to say matters,I don't want you to lose it.Quick-writes, responses to reading, etc Rief
“What you have to say matters and I don’t want you to lose it” tells Ss, on the importance of quick-writing.
Why writing notebooks? Because what kids say MATTERS and we don't want them to lose their thinking or words.
when things don't make sense- learning is taking place
It shows students what you have to say matters, by keeping it in a notebook! thanks for the great advice
Notebooks are vital. Sends the message, "What you have to say matters, has great value; I don't want you to lose it!"

No need to apologize for sad&depressing books. Bks that touch your soul live with you long after last page is read
“How do you write persuasively about something you don’t care about?” asks (Answer: You don’t.)
Barbara Comber id'ing these as practices of compliance: copying, coloring, connecting the dots, cutting and pasting, word searches.
Read as a writer. Ss look for craft moves authors use to give techniques to try in their own writing.
How do you write persuasively about topics you don't care about? You don't, neither do students.
It was great being your partner today!
Kids have to care about what they write about. Give them a choice

Agreed. Here's to building the Courage Toolkit.
Leverage the child's own story as a tool for literacy learning.
Let kids write for a bigger audience. They need to know their voices matter
Good writing succeeds when it gives you an insight into someone else’s head.
Kids need to know their voices matter. They need to be writing. It needs to be out there.

"We didn't bother thinking because we didn't know what questions you were going to ask." LOL on past Ss & teaching style
Our job is not to take Ss from ignorance 2 enlightenment by asking a series of ?s. It's 2 teach them how to ask their own
If you present kids with the questions raised by a text, they won't learn to find the questions themselves.
most significant act of reading is asking questions. Don't take that away from them.
Too many people out there want to do the thinking for our students. We need to change that.
"I was taking out of kids' hand the most important part of reading; the part where they should ask questions themselves,"
The real problem is...there are people who want to do the thinking for you, we need to prepare kids to think about real nonfiction
"Last time you picked up the NYT, there were no questions at the end to do the thinking for you."
ThankYou to all who came & made this LS-R SIG session such a huge success, esp for a GREAT talk! https://t.co/5ysrfgfK5I
"I don't want kids to be victims of those who want to do the thinking for them." ~
Ss need 2 be able 2 confront texts w the capacity 2 ask questions. (Not wait 4 them to be asked) https://t.co/0LPqFnzQWg
RT "Courage and fear cannot go together. We must choose courage for our students," says
Feedback should CAUSE S thinking, not GIVE Ss what to think.

"Teachers are 'A' teachers but something is getting in their way"
R we creating "ready made victims" bc we don't make Ss do THE work of thinking for themselves?what do you think?
when kids ask questions, they own the conversation and speculation.
Students generating questions, have ownership of them,tend to begin to want to speculate and discuss possible explanations
When students are asked to raise their own questions, they take ownership over the text and their comprehension.
If we can get kids to ask their own questions, they'll want to speculate the answers which then leads to collaboration.
We want kids to be responsive to the text AND responsive to what happens within themselves as they read the text
All language point outside to the world
Key Practices we need to pull in! https://t.co/1LUeRO93Gl
What supports transfer? Reading across documents, formal discussions, problem-solving, extended writing, peer tutoring
When you share quality text w Ss often great questions&answers will come We want kids 2 be responsive to text&themselves
All language is referential and points to the outside world. Can’t keep words confined to the page.
Organize day into four workshops- reading, writing, math and research (science/ss)
