โขExplicitly state what you expect students to do before you start reading
โขModel those expectations
โขA 1-pg article=15 minutes full of active engagement, checks for understanding, and lots of learning.

Updating the APS Dress Code for Teachers! Sneakers and jeans allowed! The amount I spent on โwork clothesโ as a teacher to be on the floor and keep up with students was ridiculous. This is HUGE!!!! ๐๐๐๐๐

What if schools valued the exploration of questions more than attaining answers?
What if systems were designed for curious entry points rather than standardized outcomes?
What if education centred around relevance and wonder, rather than percentages and grades?
As a classroom teacher, I can value, plan for, and embrace the former and still abide by the preparation for the latter.

A kind nudge: strive to have your formative assessments be so strong, so routined, and so timely, that your summative assessments are redundant.
Now ask yourself, why canโt this be the case?

โค๏ธ if you heard some of these "math talk" sentence starters in your school community this year.
(Via instructional leader @MrsBrooksPUSD) #MTBoS #ITeachMath
ALT Student handout with the header "Let's talk math!" Beneath is a grid of sentence starters including "The strategy I used was" and "I wonder if." Students place a chip on a starter when they use it. When they run out of chips, they wait for others to speak.

Lesson materials should not be standardized from a governing body but rather created locally for higher context, relevance, learner/learner community intentionality. Time consuming, yes. More powerful than generic and standardized materials, absolutely. Worth the time imo.
