Great discussion today at the HCS Community Priorities Workshop. I've always loved connecting with the community to make sure our students are college, career, and life ready. Fractions came up as a life skill for industry work. #contentknowledge @jtharris_CAO @TechyThomason
Loved being a part of the student excitement in this integrated science/ELA lesson for the upcoming eclipse. Students’ writing was powerful because they gained vocab and demonstration knowledge to actually have something to write about. #contentknowledge

First graders learned how to change direction 🔁 in their sentences by using the word “so” 🤩
All week, they closely read the text to build #vocabulary and #contentknowledge so they could easily retrieve key details about the Wright Brothers.

Thanks for the insightful articles! Reading isn't just a technical task - it's a process of meaning-making. To me, these texts highlight importance of a comprehensive language curriculum that values #contentknowledge AND #criticalthinking skills! #Reading#LanguageCurriculum
I invite my fellow educators to read these two opinion pieces side-by-side and draw your own conclusions.
Ten years ago, Grant Wiggins offered insight that still holds true today. TRANSFER matters.

The way reading is taught in elementary school has a bigger impact in the long term than you might think.

Word recognition is only one half of the equation. Language compression helps to unlock the gateway to strong comprehension. Our social studies teachers are reviewing high quality texts to ensure a successful future for readers. #contentknowledge@ESCoftheWR
