A4 Meaningful & productive anchor charts that Sts were engaged in creating for visible references of learning. #G2Great #DIYLiteracy

DrMaryHoward - Moderator May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

And it’s the difference to learning that is TO them and learning that is ABOUT them #G2Great #DIYLiteracy https://t.co/Ncp7vHirqY

brennanamy - Moderator May 19 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@teachkate Student made, that is the key, isn’t it? If you make it, you own it and it certainly sticks then. The power of DIY #g2great

MisterMinor May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Yes! #G2Great https://t.co/UJknboLEIw

A3. Sometimes when the language I am using is too obscure or not kid-relevant, children clue me in... #G2Great

A4. When the language constantly includes discussion about growth the rest falls into place. Talk the talk so Ss can walk the walk #g2great

RebeccaMarsick May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@rlangston731 Love this idea of the in between...#G2Great

MaryAnnReilly May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A4. Being able to make decisions about learning empowers children. A developed sense of agency is so critical. #G2Great

teachkate May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

So you guys know what is coming-if a problem is that kids arent sure how or when to work hard, we could lean on some tools to help. #g2great

literacydocent May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Yes! #G2Great https://t.co/LwLig5XGzt

mollyleding May 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A3 Any learning that doesn't serve a function to Ss will cease to exist #G2Great

franmcveigh May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@literacydocent So True. Time is our most valuable resource - Ss and Ts. USE very wisely. Don't fritter it away! #G2Great

jdsniadecki May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

I have a connection! (My hand is raised. LOL) Sticky notes instructional. Reading is supposed to be FUN. #g2great https://t.co/OXg1csOr3g

MaryAnnReilly May 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A3. When kids are required to constantly use sticky notes to respond to text rather then ever reading for joy. #G2Great

mindi_r May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

#g2great A4: As teachers, we need to let kids know we see what they CAN do and then help them to the next step. See the assets!

girlworld4 May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A4 Cooperative work is powerful when Ts structure it carefully, keep groups small & teach Ss how to work in groups #g2great #diyliteracy

flynn_catherine May 19 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A4 CHOICE! When Ss have a say in what they read, write, research, you name it, they're automatically more engaged & invested. #G2great

lallen1982 May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A5 Knowing that you KNOW they are capable of their best work and giving them the necessary scaffolds #G2Great

hayhurst3 - Moderator May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A4 Contextualized learning helps Ss reach beyond now to what comes next. Language/Environment #G2Great https://t.co/U8PiuZazdj

MaryAnnReilly May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A4. Being allowed, even encouraged, to fail creates a different dynamic. It helps to establish problem solving as a norm. #G2Great

KymHarjes May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A4: the seed gets planted in the mini lesson...connect, teach, actively engage and link kids into their own opportunities to grow #G2Great

StephanieKlein7 May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@jarhartz @MaggieBRoberts I agree, I am incorporating this into summer rdg plans this week, have to help make it a priority #G2Great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

I love this Sara. NOTICING is key — being present in those learning moments #G2Great #DIYLiteracy https://t.co/Yl6D0OHeFN

suzrolander May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Have students actually observe what they "see" when a reader is engaged. @jdolci @franmcveigh #G2Great https://t.co/sG4KyNLhPw

franmcveigh May 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT
I think the "what it looks like" is a Huge missing component! They already think they ARE! #G2Great @teachkate https://t.co/b1mXVhEUV1

  A3: I believe many students want to work hard, but aren't sure if they can, if it will be worth it, what it looks like. #g2great

brennanamy - Moderator May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@jdsniadecki Sticky notes have to be purposeful, they are a great tool when purposeful. Quality over quantity. #G2Great

hayhurst3 - Moderator May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@SaraKAhmed Sara so glad you are with us tonight! Clarity is contextual right? #G2great

smurrayLB May 19 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A4: Steal from G&T Ts. Novel tasks without defined outcomes. Ss explore, find new paths, get excited to go where no one's gone b4 #G2Great

A4: I always found positive encouragement did wonders throughout work to push kids to exciting new places and opportunities! #g2great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A4 Our teaching impacts all of this. If we move too soon to the independent stage, learning potential wanes quickly. #G2Great #DIYLiteracy

teachkate May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A4: One tool that can be helpful is, when pulling small groups, to make teaching active. Like w a demo nb #G2Great https://t.co/hfsM1fMBzg

lorilovesbooks May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@Lau7210 Yes! Choice! #g2great

AMitchell828 May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A4 Have Ss work on projects that are relevant & based around student's interst #G2Great Present product to an authentic audience

Lau7210 May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A4: Ts MUST make the learning fun and joyful! Make every day your first performance & the Ss will buy into your contagious energy! #G2Great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 So happy you’re here Meredith! #G2Great #DIYLiteracy

BK_2_ATL May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3: @teachkate Absolutely! good supporter is honest and let u know where u fell short We must be active listeners to engaged a. #g2great

jdsniadecki May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@brennanamy Just don’t use them when reading for fun. Not necessary at that point. #g2great

room20awesome May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A4 My firsties get really excited about reading when they know there is a project or presentation involved. #G2great

hayhurst3 - Moderator May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@MaggieBRoberts @brennanamy @DrMaryHoward Me too! Me too! #g2great

milesnawmiles May 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#G2Great @hayhurst tell me more about goal cards. https://t.co/kQ6M5R5IEz

hayhurst3 - Moderator May 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A2 Loving goal cards they are a visual reminder for prompts that are easily used. Lighter gradual release. #g2Great https://t.co/R8cJeXc3Uw
