Welcome Everyone! I'm Trenice Durio a SPED Teacher at the Fabulous @yes_falcons ! Thanks for joining me tonight for the topic Great Educator Reads. Introduce yourself with a GIF and we'll get started shortly! #ycsdchat
A1: I love to read historical fiction. I enjoy reading during breaks from school when I have more âdownâ time. Iâve also started reading more when my own children are reading at home. #rolemodel#ycsdchat
A1: Because #ReadingisMARVELous obviously! I read because it's always been a way for me to be bold and braver than I am in real life. It's an escape from my ordinary, quiet life. #ycsdchat
A1: Reading is my favorite. Books provide a way to escape, a way to reflect, and a way to grow. I love that there isn't a question in the world that can't be answered within the pages of a book. #ycsdchat
A1. Reading is my escape, validation, pleasure, professional development, research...education, historical fiction, YA, and true crime/mystery are my fave genres #ycsdchat
I read because Iâm trying to improve my vocabulary and my ability at analyzing narratives. Iâm not very good at picking up on important plot clues that will reveal the storyâs end, but Iâm getting better and better all the time. #ycsdchat
A1 #ycsdchat I read a lot of YA fiction looking for the latest trends for students. Just turned a whole bunch onto the Ember in the Ashes series. Searched for a strong male protagonist and found one in Six of Crows! Children of Blood and Bone is the next on my list!
A2 Not fair-I canât pick just one-Robyn Jackson-Never work harder than your students, Jimmy Casas-Culturize, Teaching w/ Poverty in Mind & Disrupting Poverty #ycsdchat
A2: Teacher by Sylvia Ashton-Warner! I read it during student teaching and will NEVER forget how powerful it was. She's amazing, but also constantly striving to be better and do more for her students! #ycsdchat
A2. The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, & To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. All great to illustrate human frailty and strength. #YCSDchat
A2 Recently read The Principal by Michael Fullan for professional growth and something by Danielle Steel for pleasure reading. Enjoyed both! â¤ď¸#ycsdchat
A2:Building Studentsâ Historical Literacies: Learning to Read and Reason with Historical Texts and Evidence by Jeffery D. Nokes. This book really breaks down to process on how to read and analyze a variety of historical sources. https://t.co/7BiaHgXUjm#ycsdchat
A2 #ycsdchat I know people will cite a text on pedagogy, but Fahrenheit 451 altered the way I teach ss to read texts and the amazing unit on studentsâ âutopianâ schools that has made me a more reflective practitioner.
A3: I love to read aloud just about any piece of art. I love art history and being able to tell students what is going on in an image and why. #ycsdchat
A2. There's also Victoria's Daughters about Queen Victoria and her influence over her family. This is how I discovered that the cause of WWI can be laid at her feet. (!) #YCSDchat
A3: I used to love reading Dr. Seussâ Butter Battle Book when I was in the classroom. Helping students make the connections between the story and the standards that we were covering was something like amazing! âşď¸#ycsdchat
A3: I was also a big fan of The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes. I liked starting the year with that one to help set the tone for how we would treat each other during the year. #ycsdchat
A4: I'm lucky to have a Book Dealer Friend who always sends books once she's finished, so I don't have to buy many. But I did buy Girl, Wash Your Face #ycsdchat
A4 The Queen of Straw & Gold. It's a re-telling of the Rumplestilskin fairy tale. Also The History of the World in 6 Glasses-how iconic beverages influenced civilization. #YCSDchat
The last book I bought was #Sheets by #BrennaThummler . Itâs a really sweet graphic novel about a girl in a sleepy little Pennsylvania town who works in a laundromat haunted by a well meaning ghost. Itâs on the B&N best books of 2018 list. https://t.co/EceO9cRu2Z#ycsdchat
A4: The Selection by Kierra Cass(for my own reading). I'm a sucker for YA Lit! Also, I bought Becoming by @MichelleObama for my mom, but I'm totally going to read it before I wrap it and give it to her! #ycsdchat
A5âAll of the above...professional I usually like print form so I can write and highlight, pleasure-whichever I can get my hands on fastest #ycsdchat
A5: All of the above! I mostly read on my kindle app at home or on the go, and both form of books at school. I love when celebrities with great voices read audiobooks, though. My favorite was Jeremy Irons reading James and the Giant Peach. #ycsdchat
A5 Print every time, paperback or hardbound. I need to flip back to previous sections to clarify points I may have missed. Can't do that on an ebook or audio book. #ycsdchat
A5: Definitely a book. I love the smell, the sounds, the way I can cry at the good parts without worrying about ruining my tablet. But in a pinch, or if there's a good Kindle deal, I'll grab an e-book or audio. #ycsdchat
A5: I love audiobooks because they allow me to read and drive at the same time. I have a fairly decent commute to and from work, which usually lets me get through a short story handpicked by Levar Burton in a roundtrip or a novel in about a week. https://t.co/1Q8ZyfsHMU#ycsdchat
Love my iPad so my husband won't complain about the light being on....but need a paperback/hardcover for the beach/outside reading so I can see (can't read my iPad while in the sun) #ycsdchat
Set in San Francisco, the novels follow a group of women from different professions relating to investigating crime as they work together to solve murders. The series follows the women through their personal issues #ycsdchat
A6 this is such a situational thing: I recommend Driven to Distraction, the ADHD "bible" for someone facing that diagnosis and then something in Spanish to a student who wants something to read #ycsdchat
