  • It is most important to use a balanced mixture of independent, small group, and whole group practice.

Kelly_Murray https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/156886617 Differentiation is key. Every lesson cannot be taught the same way for every class, or every year-- they must be modified constantly to continue meeting the minds of all. In my classroom, I love to use hands-on activities to keep students active and engaged, and to help them to become comfortable taking ownership of a specific role, but also apply to different learning styles simultaneously (visual, auditory, reading-writing, kinesthetic).]]> 2017-02-28 22:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/156886617 Literacy is . . . Kelly_Murray https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/156888338 Literacy education is teaching students to gradually become self-sufficient in using skills to analyze and interpret complex texts of different formats, and communicate ideas with others effectively through writing, speaking, and listening. ]]> 2017-02-28 22:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/156888338 "A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love, and patiently nurtures their growth to produce tomorrow's dreams."

Kelly_Murray https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/177682691 As a teacher, I want to shape responsible, knowledgeable, literate citizens. I want students to love learning so they never cease to question the world around them, and become informed to be able to stand up for their own beliefs. Teaching English Language Arts allows me to discuss the deep and complex issues of the world around us, while fostering the development of the skills needed to use purposeful talk, and to be ready for life beyond the classroom.]]> 2017-06-28 20:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/177682691 Kelly_Murray https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/177684273 2017-06-28 20:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Kelly_Murray/3ka9g3gbu4bk/wish/177684273
