It's useful to know which sound/spellings are important enough to teach and which can be learned on an as needed basis. These percentages 👇come from Hanna et al. (1996) research in which the sound/spelling appeared in the 17,000 most frequently used single & multisyllabic words.

We are told:
“Don’t worry about the outcomes, focus only on the process.”
That sounds nice in a tweet, but it’s not real life.
It’s about finding the middle, where we:
Care about the outcome, are willing to battle for it, AND hungry to learn - at the same time.

“If we create a culture where every teacher believes they need to improve, not because they are not good enough but because they can be even better, there is no limit to what we can achieve.” —Dylan Wiliam

1. When elementary teachers specialize in a subject (ex: math) & students switch teachers for each class, students learn *less*.
2. Students with the same teacher 2 years in a row learn more.
Bottom line: Kids do better when teachers know them well.

School climate is what is said in a staff faculty meeting.
School culture is what is said in the parking lot after the meeting.

Schools must approach poor student choices and poor behavior from the lens of how can I help you rather than how can I punish you. #edchat

If we want our students to learn better than they ever have, we have to teach better than we ever have. #education #teaching #divergED

If your student forgets his pencil, give him a pencil. Don't make a thing of it. There are better ways to teach a kid responsibility.

Sometimes teaching is as easy as answering this question: Am I the kind of teacher I would want my child to have?

The best educators have the ability to make 'invisible' kids feel visible by helping them find their voice. #edchat #kidsdeserveit
