‘When the writing workshop becomes less it’s because we’re afraid to expect. We dial it down and we pull back... Kids won’t and can’t if you’re afraid to expect. Your expectations are their ceiling. ‘ @LucyCalkins #tcrwp

Replying to @amandalah
@amandalah reminds us, "If I want kids to transfer I want them to have lot's of pieces to try the work in. " On the value of bringing your whole writing folder into small groups. #tcrwp

This is how you plan for test prep. Right here. @conroeela
Whew, four weeks of data-driven, response-teaching test prep is no joke. Yet, it is incredibly thrilling to design your units and align with best practices to empower your students. @msSmithteaches5 @hbzey @TCRWP

Teachers at @ArmstrongAstros practice small groups in front of each other- giving feedback on independence, engagement, and pacing. These ts know the power of growing with a learning community of colleagues. #tcrwp

Authentic book shopping needs to be guided by more than just reading level. Text complexity is just one tool that goes into what makes a book “just right.” Far more important: interest, prior knowledge, reading community. Coach kids to find their “that’s the right book”
