Big Takeaways by Katherine https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice Aha's from the Readings and Discussions: Share one "best practice" you'll incorporate into your own classroom this fall. en-us 2016-06-21 20:11:22 UTC 2016-06-27 23:16:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Katherine kmillsh https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115187479 I'll build in more opportunities for low-stakes writing. I love the idea of having students reflect on a lesson/notes in their own words, because this helps them process and articulate what they are learning as they are learning it.]]> 2016-06-21 21:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115187479 Here we go!! https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274787 2016-06-22 22:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274787 Michael Karpe https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274789 I want to model MUCH more, and give students more time to do more SMALL writing exercises.]]> 2016-06-22 22:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274789 I want to leave more time for free writing and teacher conferences while writing https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274795 Jen H]]> 2016-06-22 22:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274795 Megan Ackourey https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274796 I would like to be able to give my students the ability to express their creativity because I often feel like I teach them too structured ]]> 2016-06-22 22:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274796 Michelle Abbadessa https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274799 I will use the  Writer's  notebook, but the concepts of "perpetual scaffolding" and the writing for social action is something I strive to do but realize now that it truly is a best practice!!!! I also like Top Ten and Mapping the Text!

I want to incorporate the writer's notebook where students can write ideas, thoughts, etc. without the fear or anxiety of being graded. I want them to be excited about their writing pieces, therefore I will be giving them choice in what they write rather than giving them a specific topic or prompt. I want them to inquire and work through learning how to write rather than me "feeding" them the information. Most of all, I want my students to know that they CAN write, and that if they have something to say, they should write it! :)]]> 2016-06-22 22:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274805 Build more time to free write and also reflect more on own writing https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274807 2016-06-22 22:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274807 Blair blairmariefoster https://padlet.com/kmillsh/BestPractice/wish/115274809 I want to ask more open ended writing prompts to get my students used to sharing their thoughts.
