Be careful who you overlook, underestimate, or write off. I'm living proof that an underperforming, traumatized, high school dropout can still overcome, build a great life, and impact the world. Teacher, even on your worst day, you can be a student's best hope.
@ehanford I’ve seen dozens of kids “reading at grade level” based on DRA scores, but they can’t decode a CVC nonsense word at all. “Fluency fakeout” - these kids sound fluent, but are guessing based on context, and they slip through the cracks every time.
Students will remember you because you genuinely love them. If you don't love spending time w/ children, no amount of training, PD or inspirational quotes in the world will overcome it. Love teaching, but love WHO you teach more!
Good teaching is not accidental. It results from teachers who plan well and who connect with their students. Both of these are intentional.
Good teaching takes energy, passion, and perseverance. It is hard work. I’m grateful for all the teachers who are putting in the work.
Every hater who has doubted, dismissed, or discouraged you is part of a much bigger plan to help you grow. Don't let haters make you bitter; let them make you better.
Are you ready for the big game? Talk to your young learners about teamwork with reading resources from Teammates, the story of two unlikely friends and their winning bond #readingisfundamentalrif.org/literacy-centr…
Thirty-two percent of U.S. fourth-graders aren’t reading at a basic level. Scientists say the popular theory that people learn to read through context-based guessing is wrong. n.pr/2ArTPOd
If we’re serious about literacy (particularly in lower elementary) in @TNedu and the legislature, there should be a conversation about systematic phonics instruction and curriculum in general. The research is clear & has been for a while. Let’s teach kids to read @RepMarkWhite
