‘When the writing workshop becomes less it’s because we’re afraid to expect. We dial it down and we pull back... Kids won’t and can’t if you’re afraid to expect. Your expectations are their ceiling. ‘ @LucyCalkins#tcrwp

Belief: All kids, regardless of their rdg level- below or above “benchmark”—deserve rich literacy experiences— opportunities to be read to, experience great books in company of others, and the joy of talking abt them. Regardless of whether this directly improves level.
"Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically."—Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay
How often do you ask kids the question, “Does anyone know what X is?”
Be aware of questioning like this (we ALL do it). First, we have to be kind to ourselves about it.
Then, instead, TEACH kids “what X is.” Avoid guessing games, mind reading & quizzing in lieu of teaching.
Teachers! Repeat after me:
I will not have my students make "Indian" feathers/clothes.
I will not culturally appropriate an entire people for "cute" activities.
I will tell my students the truth about this country's relationship with Indigenous people.

Steph Harvey: Kids are not getting enough time to read amd that's especially true for striving readers. Allington said that for every year a student is behind, they need twice as much time to read."YES!! #NCTE18#G2Great
Yet another study – this one esp. strong b/c it followed students for 14 years – showing that holding at-risk kids back a year in elementary school (making them repeat a grade) is a diabolically effective way to get them to drop out of high school: is.gd/V9eT3a
“Warming up is important—oral rehearsal helps to make our stories better.”
Tip for K-2 teachers: Create opportunities during morning meeting to allow students to storytell.

Saying it again!
Minilessons are meant for approximation not mastery. If all students master the ML, it was too easy. Spend a proportionate amount of time planning a ML in correlation to the amount of time it takes to teach it.
-Mary Ehrenworth

Lucy on getting grades in workshop:
Get together as a team and ask yourselves what you value in reading and writing and grade that.
We should value:
Volume
Growth
Big revision work
Utilizing anchor charts
#tcrwp#kellerliteracy
Small study (is.gd/9x0Xdl) suggests that teachers’ classroom management strategies are predicted by their own childhood experiences. Those who punish students are more likely to have been punished themselves & discouraged from questioning parental authority
