Strategic power: Guerilla change tactics. Influence from the margins, without the influenced realizing that you did anything. #OHSIG

Nuri-Robins: "Change agents are not in the middle, fitting in. They are on the margins." #OHSIG

"I know it sounds a little dramatic, but the word for not changing is death." -Ramshackle Glory. #OHSIG

Advanced Socratic Discussion: Town hall debates. Student judges question two "sides" who attemp to swing the student jury. #OHSIG

Scoring Socratic discussions: Low points for opinion, higher points for building off of another student, max points for citing text. #OHSIG

Leaders: Ask teachers to bring not only a problem, but three possible solutions. Principals do not have all the answers. #OHSIG

School culture: Student perception is student reality. Make your kids see how much you want them in your room. #OHSIG

Free-Choice assignments. Ask student: What topic, how should I grade it, what will the product be? Teacher approves/tweaks. #OHSIG

Larry Reams's inservice on differentiation and choice lends itself to gaming theory integration. Brain is sparking. I needed this. #OHSIG

Choice in lesson planning - content (what they learn), procedures (how they learn), and/or product (how they show mastery). #OHSIG

Build choice into your lessons - THIS is the only real "differentiation." #OHSIG

Educational tradition - just because we've always done it does not mean it isn't stupid. #OHSIG

Differentiate along different foci - Bloom, Gardner, Learning Styles, Product Types, or combine two. #OHSIG

25 book standard, challenge students to read 25 books per year #OHSIG

See the movie before you read the book...build prior knowledge before you read #OHSIG

Enlist your students in the pursuit of reading as their new civil right. #OHSIG

Phyllis C. Hunter - "What is the difference between the man who owns the fancy car and the man who parks that car for him? Diplomas." #OHSIG

20 minute rule - 20 minutes read-aloud, 20 minutes independent, 20 minutes at home. We average only seven. #OHSIG

#OHSIG is shouting out @khanacademy and the flipped class model.

#TeamReadGood is represented at #OHSIG - Phyllis C. Hunter is sharing great reading strategies.
