I'm not sure how easy this would be but it would be so great if UA worked with special ed and district 75 teachers to create a specialized series of CDs

# data[].attributes.body
My hope is that we keep growing in our literacy strategies

# data[].attributes.body
One fear was actually doing the lesson and now it is GONE!!! My co-teacher loved it and she said it's part of our everyday and that was exciting because I alway ask her for feedback so that was great!

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that I can expand on the lesson I have implemented and move forward with a good foundation

# data[].attributes.body
My new hope is that I can use the core concepts of the literacy strategies in multiple domains, giving my students a wealth of opportunities in order to grow and develop.

# data[].attributes.body
Concerned about challenges of the classroom. Behavioral challenges, staff challenges.

I think it'll be fine though.

# data[].attributes.body
My hope it that we can continue these methods going forward.

# data[].attributes.body
My fear with implementing any new lesson is how it will look in action versus in my head during the planning process. I hope the lesson moves smoothly and students can actually takeaway meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hopeful to teach this strategy to my students. I think students will come out with better understanding

# data[].attributes.body
My concern is when implementing a new strategy to the students, the logistics of teaching them how to do it and then having them try, always a hit or miss the first time around.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope the strategy I am implementing will help my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I am hopeful my students will feel confident implementing paraphrasing after this plan. Specifically, I hope since I have rolled out different strategies that now students can engage in more choice of what strategies actually work for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I am hopeful that students will be more engaged with scientific text by using these new strategies. I am also hopeful that through these strategies my students will understand the information better, and show improvement on their tests and ELA iready scores!

# data[].attributes.body
It now feels like this is doable and will support what we're already doing in our classroom. I hope we can truly find a way to teach this in a way that will get my kids to feel they can understand these texts even 10% better.

# data[].attributes.body
My hope is to push myself and my students to try something that can better us in out learning experience

# data[].attributes.body
I hope the new strategy we are planning goes when we teach it

# data[].attributes.body
My hope is that students will respond well to these strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope the literacy plan that I chose will meaningfully help my students while they are reading. As well as using this strategy again for future reading

# data[].attributes.body
Hoping that Ill be able to adapt some of the literacy strategies in a way that works for my D75 students.

# data[].attributes.body
It's still always stressful to get feedback and hopefully my work will be on par with/meet the standards that the other assignments meet. This is always a fear/concern for me as a teacher who wants to do right by my kids.

I'm excited to begin teaching these new strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned of the challenges my students present in order to successfully implement my plan

# data[].attributes.body
My concern is about integrating or modifying the literacy strategies into a brisk instruction

# data[].attributes.body
I’m concerned about how to best support my SPED students in understanding science texts and vocabulary.
I wonder what literacy strategies can be adapted to meet their diverse learning needs.
I also want to learn how to fairly assess their progress in both science and literacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning new strategies to help my students and have them engage more confidently with scientific text

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hopeful that students will improve in literacy. Excited to learn new ways to reach my students

# data[].attributes.body
I found sharing data of declining literacy rates acted as motivator for some students in understanding the WHY.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned that I won't be able to teach literacy strategies with the content I'm teaching

# data[].attributes.body
How can I get my students excited about reading?

# data[].attributes.body
One strategy I use- to level all the reading to the grade level of the students- because most are on K-2 reading level- so texts need to be significantly lowered for 8th graders.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my main hopes for taking this course on literacy in science is to learn practical strategies that help students better understand and communicate scientific ideas through reading, writing, and discussion. I want to strengthen my ability to integrate literacy skills into science lessons so students can build both content knowledge and critical thinking skills. I hope to make science more engaging and accessible for all learners by connecting language and inquiry in meaningful ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Concern- students have a hard time engaging with scientific text and with literacy skills in general. They have a hard time transferring the skills they learn in ELA to science to unpack and understand text/ questions. My fear- the new state exam requires students to apply literacy skills to understand these wordy questions. We need to teach them these skills to be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to be able to teach my students new skills and have them use other learned skills to improve their literacy strategies so they can use them across their educational journey and not just science.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to expand my toolbox with strategies that can be implemented everyday. I hope within my classroom my students find a love for or an intrinsic connection to reading to understand!

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to help all students improve their reading skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to bring something new to my classroom that my co teacher and I can use effectively

# data[].attributes.body
My fear is having to work on this new UA portfolio we learned about in the kickoff while also dealing with a busy work/school schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that I can give my students at least a few tools in order to be able to express themselves, their wants, needs, and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
One concern I have about taking this mini course on literacy in science is finding the right balance between teaching scientific concepts and supporting students’ reading and writing development. I sometimes worry that focusing too much on literacy strategies might take time away from hands-on science exploration or experiments. I also want to make sure I fully understand how to integrate scientific vocabulary and text structures in a way that feels natural and engaging for students. Despite these concerns, I’m eager to learn new approaches that will help my students think, read, and communicate more effectively as young scientists...LB

To learn meaningful strategies that I can implement in my classroom to help students improve their literacy skills within the science context

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to bring some new strategies to my modified learners.

# data[].attributes.body
One concern I have is not providing effective literacy strategies/tools to help support my students and their learning needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to learn some concrete strategies thar can be easily added/adapted to support our current Biology readings, lessons, and scaffolds.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to learn new helpful strategies that I can utilize in the classroom for student learning.

# data[].attributes.body
My hope is to use the work that I do here to better serve me in my role. I would love to be able to apply the work here to an observation for example.

# data[].attributes.body
My concern is being able to master and implement one strategy that will improve my students literacy skills.

# data[].attributes.body
My fear is that I won't be able to differentiate information and lessons for my D75 students in a meaningful and relevant way.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we modify these literacy strategies to reach all the different learners in our classroom

# data[].attributes.body
My main concern is creating protocols that engage buy-in from students to lead to deeper understanding while still fitting into our pacing schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
My fear and cencern is that as teachers we can have all the strategies in our tool box but with out support from home and behaviors in check we cant effectively relay those strategies to our kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm trying my best to pace myself and not burn out in terms of meeting the expectations of this course in addition to my responsibilities/commitments as a teacher and mother.

# data[].attributes.body
My concern is that admin may not be flexible with me trying new strategies that moves away from the curriculum. Right now, we are focusing on graphing and math in science.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to better serve my students in literacy

# data[].attributes.body
My concern is how/where this important work will happen in a really packed Biology curriculum/pacing calendar. We move very quickly!
