📖 Does anyone have any recommendations on reading fluency work for dyslexic second language learners who never learned to read in their first language? I would love to read some articles!!! Thanks!

In a meeting today, there was an idea to run our K-12 curriculum documents through Generative AI to identify gaps in curriculum. I… don’t want AI doing curriculum work for us.

Celebrate 10 years of Zaretta Hammond’s Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain! 🎉 Join educators like @principalkafele.bsky.social & @gholdym.bsky.social by sharing how this foundational book has shaped your teaching practice: www.corwin.com/landing-page...

AI in language education is not just a pedagogical issue. It is also a labour issue.

My co-teacher & I have continually revised how we scaffold and support students through a research-based persuasive essay. We chunk tasks, provide models, teach mini-lessons, & give in-class work time. However, the final products as a whole aren’t showing the benefits of our planning & instruction.

Sign up for the free webinar this Wednesday today www.corwin.com/events/webin...

🤩 I'm very excited to see this idea come to life! 📋 Registration is now open for the Michigan Council of Teachers of English Fall Conference at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center on October 17! ⤵️ More information in the post below! mymcte.org/event/mcte-f...

NEW @pbsnews.org Lesson Plan: American democracy and you by Tim Smyth @historycomics.bsky.social Learn about the U.S. government and your role in democracy through a comic called "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" #TeachingWithComics #sschat #apgov #EduSky

My newest lesson plan for PBS Newshour just went live - www.pbs.org/newshour/cla.... - Really helps my students visually comprehend our government and how to get involved.

My third of four case studies for Phase 3 of my dissertation is analyzed! Member-checking this week, then into the final case study analysis before meta-analysis of all 3 Phases and the write-up! #PhDLife

after we finished Invisible Man in April, high school juniors proactively asked me if we could read another novel together before the end of the year

I love working with publishers to help get more books into our classrooms. Summer is quickly approaching and I have some more time… If you need teaching guides or consulting - please let me know. Sample work can be found here - www.historycomics.net/guidesarticles

What do people think is going on in students’ minds @covingtonedu.bsky.social ? “We build on prior knowledge building schema. Giving examples & non-examples, and imparting knowledge is more effective than letting them figure it out themselves based on what they've already learned.

Here's how I feel about gen AI- why would I want to read something that nobody wrote? Why would I want to look at art nobody made? Why would I listen to music nobody played? What's the point?

If a student wants to take Honors English (AP Lit or Lang), what should be taken into account? - current grades? - progress on skills? - work habits? Can work habits and interest outweigh current ability? Can “poor” or inconsistent learning habits undercut ability? #NCTEchat #ITeachEnglish

My very first book is available for pre-order! Workable Accents explores how international teaching assistants conceptualize accent in relation to academic labor. Please ask your (university) library to order a copy: shorturl.at/KUC4R @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social @bloomsburyling.bsky.social

I've long been fond of this poem by Caitlin Seida

Thank you to the ninth grader who emailed me today and closed with the following: “P.S. Shakespeare seems to be very interesting and unique in all aspects. Excited to get started.” We looked at rhyme scheme, labeling iambic pentameter, and the prologue to #RomeoAndJuliet today!

“skills” is not the main point of the humanities, she yelled, dying on a hill

This.

Re: watching films or documentaries in class. Has anyone felt that secondary student attention during class-time devoted to a film or documentary is waning? “Movie days” don’t have the excitement I recall—is it because we’re not used to watching without multitasking? www.pcmag.com/news/netflix...

I love when I get to listen to @sjeducate.bsky.social teach from & for the heart. Hear her alongside Shane Safir on @corwinpress.bsky.social’s Leaders Coaching Leaders podcast as they talk about their new book. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Nemik: "The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident." #Andor

Hey #EduSky I need the best personal narratives you’ve ever read. I need some fresh voices. Preferably not cis white men, thank you.

Where we're at. The NCTE conference doesn't have a huge number of Canadian attendees, so I have to resign myself to not attending for the foreseeable future. So sad and unnecessary.

As my ninth graders worked on sifting through sources for a persuasive research essay, I was able to spend some time with a newcomer student. I had him practice copying common American phrases, and then I was able to work with him on spacing between words. #MLL #ESL

After categorizing the children’s cards, students copied their own citations from articles into index cards and will sort them into categories. Those categories will become their persuasive essay paragraph topics. #research #ITeachELA
