I'd like to do something like that this fall... do you have resources to suggest? Thanks! Carrie

YES!
Here's a link to a slideshow lesson on active listening

and also an active listening checklist  for kids based on some reading strategies described in Jennifer Serravallo's Reading Strategies book

Thank you!!]]> 2018-06-28 14:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268872617 Can we talk more specifically about how to apply TC Reading and Writing Workshop in an ICT setting? Our principal primarily pushes parallel teaching. Can there be any guidance or tips on how to best implement TC specifically? couyang https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268872708 There is a section in our newsletter that addresses the adminstrative push towards parallel teaching https://mailchi.mp/bf0f5f196828/tcicp-newsletter-no-6-the-myth-of-the-bell-curve-and-solving-your-co-teaching-dilemmas?e=[UNIQID]https://mailchi.mp/bf0f5f196828/tcicp-newsletter-no-6-the-myth-of-the-bell-curve-and-solving-your-co-teaching-dilemmas?e=[UNIQID]

Additionally, on our institute website, there are a few examples of weekly co teaching plans of a NF Unit of Study from the Reading and Writing Project]]> 2018-06-28 14:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268872708 At Station 2 with technology, there should be another column indicating cost of these potential programs. couyang https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268882193 2018-06-28 15:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268882193 Tech Tools for Access + Student Engagement https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268882362 I've heard of teachers using Flipgrid (https://flipgrid.com/) in their classroom to build the independent reading culture by encouraging students to create video rather than written reading logs. Also, because students can share these digital reading logs with the class, it can also function as a way for students to get book recommendations from their peers. I could also see flipgrid being powerful in math classrooms where students can create videos of them explaining how they solved a problem, which can be powerful assessment data for teachers and can be used as peer tutoring. ]]> 2018-06-28 16:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268882362 Cool Resources: https://padlet.com/mskassminor/5u3v0f86acot/wish/268882656 Plickers - Easy and Technological Assessment for students.
