The goal of #wvedchat is to provide educators an opportunity to connect, share, and learn from others by engaging in conversations around issues and topics in education.
#WVedchat I'm your host, Tia, from Logan Co. I teach HS ELA - AP Lang., AP Lit., Honors 10, Film Studies and, because CRHS was chosen as an AP Capstone school, next year I will be teaching AP Seminar!
#WVedchat@karlahilliard said she needed to put a spark back in her prof. lit reading life, so that's what we're chatting about! I dusted off my shelf to show you some of my reads (even tried a few #BookSnaps tonight). Hope you'll share some of your favorites, too!
Q1: #WVedchat In Better Learning Through Structured Teaching, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey introduced me to the gradual release of responsibility which changed the way I ran my classroom. Tell about a book that changed the way you taught.
Q2: #WVedchat Transforming Schools... (https://t.co/KZK0X9dZzb) features the efforts of @EnvisionSchools to change the way school is done. It certainly changed the way I thought about school. Tell about a book that has changed the way you thought.
A2: Mindset by Carol Dweck challenged me to change the way I think. I thought I already had a growth mindset, but this book proved I had some work to do! #WVEdChat
Q3: #WVedchat One of the things I love most about #IntentiontheBook is the oodles of practical ideas I can use in my classroom tomorrow. Tell about a book that gives you practical, use-it-tomorrow ideas.
A3: I've attended several Carnegie @carnegielearn Math Academies. Each training included a book of high-level tasks to aid in standards-based instruction. #WVEdChat
A3: Deeper Reading by @KellyGToGo and @KyleneBeers When Kids Can’t Read were awesome companions when I was a newbie. They’re the open the book, get a strategy variety. #wvedchat
Gosh, I've been thinking recent. If I go back to newbie land, I have to note Improving Reading by Johns and Lenski. This book was great for finding strategies to help in all five pillars of reading instruction. #wvedchat

Q4: #WVedchat Learning about #gamification in Explore Like a Pirate led me to want to learn more, so I picked up Gamify Literacy. Tell about a book that led you to another book or about a topic that you want to learn more about (maybe we can suggest some books!)

Q5: #WVedchat The Best Lesson Series: Literature was written by a bunch of friends I met through the #aplitchat on Twitter. Tell about a book you found through social media or about an author you follow on Twitter.
A5: I am not completely sure that I first heard about it on social media, but Innovator's Mindset by @gcouros is always buzzing on my Twitter feed! #WVEdChat
Q6: #WVedchat I purchased Writing with Mentors because I've heard so many good things about it. Alas, it is still sitting on my shelf - unread. Tell us what book is still in your to-be-read pile.
Q7: #WVedchat This last one is just for fun because it can't all be about work! Tell us what you are currently reading for pleasure or what you are planning to read next.
