@owpmu Learning all about better feedback to be a better writing teacher. Love our September Conference with OWP.
Thanks, @a2matthew, for all the reminders of the brilliant teaching that has been shared over the past few years. I was inspired by your presentation today @owpmu. Keep up the great work!
@owpmu Our virtual conference thread is currently learning how going outside and writing about makes a huge impact on engagement #placebasedwriting
So much room for cross-curricular work in ELA @owpmu MAT grads sharing their brilliant learning.
Yes! This is why I always have a freshman class on my schedule. It’s an absolute joy to watch them grow up.

Spring break is for relaxation, recharging, reading a good book ... and planning which OWP Summer Workshop to take! Check out what we're learning this summer and join the OWP community! On campus and online options and so many choices! smore.com/adsne
After 6 quarters of #ungrading, I finally swapped to having students write reflective letters to discuss their quarter score. Why haven’t I been doing this the whole time?! What a delight to hear their voices and arguments with such humor and thought!
A colleague and a friend who has molded my practice through her many “two things” of feedback.
Congrats to @owpmu co-director Beth Rimer, corecipient of the 2021 OCTELA Outstanding English Language Arts Educator Award, for "excellence inside & outside of the classroom through leadership in and advocacy for the language arts and focused efforts to improve student learning."
Nothing like some quality eye bombing @owpmu 👁👁

Time for @owpmu August Pop-Up Writing Event. Join us August 5, 10:00 AM, Cox Arboretum @MetroParksTweet for a little writing as summer winds down. Let us know you're coming with the RSVP!
I have always loved this article and keep reminding myself to be that marigold and find those other marigolds. I have my walnut tree moments—this work is too hard not to—but a shift in attitude and perspective can make a huge difference for me.
Do you know a first-year teacher? If so, be sure to share this @cultofpedagogy piece with them, "Find Your Marigold: The One Essential Rule for New Teachers," cultofpedagogy.com/marigolds.

Mailing the magic writing envelope! Excited to write and learn and share with the @owpmu 2021 Teaching of Writing cohort. @writingproject @KatiesWrite
#AOTC21 Starting from the “nopes” and heading to the “do betters” has been an illuminating protocol (TRIZ) for improvement. I have loved working in quick bursts with my breakout group.
#AOTC21 Watching @Bali_Maha work is inspiring me for my own online teaching this summer. We are engaged and intrigued as she works through this keynote.
