Do you ever have students who struggle to find the joy in reading? Maybe reading is a little (or a lot) difficult for them? If so, keep reading, because l've got just the trick..... Getting these students to read during small group or independently can be a big challenge. But...Decodable texts are a game changer for these kids, especially if the topics are engaging and exciting for them! #learninghacks #funlearning #teacherassistants #schools #classes

A pre-lesson prep is a great way to scaffold learning a new Math lesson. We often don’t realize that children carry learning deficits from earlier grades. And, if they do, they will find it difficult to grasp a new concept. It is always easier to build on what we already know, than to learn something entirely new. How to do it: When you teach a new concept, you could start with a “refresher” homework, activity or a quiz. Simple assignments that require your students to apply a connected concept and refresh their memories. Be careful, not to just give them a bunch of problems to solve, but also give them a source to learn the topic from, if they don’t know it. Make it an open book, non-competitive thing. What seems like extra-time spent in conducting the pre-lesson activity, turns out to be a time saver, when you compare the amount of time you have to spend of remedials after completing the whole chapter. Here is a full primer on using various scaffolding techniques to improve learning outcomes in the Math class: https://lnkd.in/gtMY3vjf #mathematics #mathsteacher #teachingandlearning #teaching #teachers

Every day, students count on their teachers to nurture the knowledge and skills they’ll need for future success. One critical support in this endeavor is a high-quality curriculum.  High-quality instructional materials are a powerful lever for expanding opportunity in classrooms because they take out the guesswork for teachers about what to teach.  But with all of these benefits, implementing a new curriculum is often bumpy. Here are four common mistakes districts make when launching a new curriculum and how to avoid them: https://hubs.la/Q02gWM3N0 [Image description: A visual in blue tones with a statistic on how often teachers get time to learn to use curriculum materials effectively.]

I can remember, as a teacher, sitting with a child to listen to them read...marking mistakes and word omissions. Sometimes, they were more interested (or rather distracted) by what I was doing to focus. MAP Reading Fluency with Coach not only tracks these things while students are reading, but it also records the session for later review AND provides interventions in real time for the student. What a powerful tool!
