Tip: Beginning of the year read alouds do not have to be about the beginning of the year. Include reading information books and poetry. All books create community and invite conversation. @GeorgiaHeard1 @KateMessner @amylvpoemfarm @poetweatherford

Do you believe in #BalancedLiteracy? Do you believe in #SoR? Congratulations! You believe in children! Yes, you are part of the greatest profession. Don't let outsiders try to polarize us based on what's different. Listen to each other. Learn from each other. Don't be divisive.

Updated my “I’ve read these” door…revised 3 of them to inform students why they are no longer in their library. Also provided a QR code to the Brooklyn Public Library where they can find ebook versions and read them for free. 💕 #VoluntaryInquiry #FReadom

Over the last 15 years, I've explored what it means to be a school leader in complex times. What I've learned is our role and functions go beyond a simple job description. Here are three beliefs I hold right now about an effective leader's true responsibilities. 🧵👇

"The art of being a teacher who uses demonstration writing to teach is not being a perfect writer but instead being a strategic writer!" @MaryEhrenworth Don't make the first piece perfect. Leave room for teaching in it! #tcrwp

How do we uncover student thinking as they read and learn? Reading Notebooks can be powerful tools if used with intention. Here are a few free resources to help. docs.google.com/document/d/1… @ReneeDHouser @CorwinPress
On conferring- When we ask about the book, we’re turning the conference into a worksheet 🚫 When we ask about the reader & their process we recognize the work that they are doing & make it transferable ✅ @drgravityg @ReneeDHouser #TCRWP #SaturdayReunion #RSDreading

I'm less concerned about "learning loss" than about "love-of-learning loss." #Littogether @MrMorone
