Should students listen to music while they read and write? Probably not. I spent most of my college years listening to CDs as I studied.

While music can boost energy levels and improve focus, it’s most effective before learning, not during. During learning, music adds to cognitive load, creating an unnecessary burden on working memory.

The examples are elementary but you could use it as a guide and level it up.

Wonderful new book! It’s both gorgeously written and very usable for teachers to try right away.

Love seeing my teammates work spread across the country at LitConn this week!

Mine has not arrived yet. Can’t wait! You will love it Jenn!

Don’t steal the revelation Learning is a journey of incompetence. First, we realize that there’s something we don’t know. Then we see that we’re going to be better at it, and we’re not good at it yet.…

I have been wanting to write about this and find more bridges. It is not serving either community to be in such different conversations.

Copy of Instructional Practices to Support Language Standards Instructional Practices to Support Language Standards These can be done in whole group or small group lessons. They can become routines in the classroom so once students know how to do it they can re...

Sharing a draft of instructional practices that support grammar and punctuation that can be integrated into any curriculum. Make it your own and make it better. It’s a quick first draft. What I do know is students need lots of engaging practice across domains. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Studying language and it’s connection to reading, speaking, and writing skills with 4th grade teachers.
We also added in visuals and gestures. It’s all connected!

We asked 12th graders reading a complex text what they paid attention to as they read today. Here is a chart that captures what we discovered after conferring with them. Big takeaway… they notice a lot but don’t always have the academic words to name it. We just gave it a name.

Meeting with my college students about their final papers and almost all went over the page limit telling me they just got so into the topics. Choice is so important for writers of all ages! And now I get to read them all knowing each one will be different.

Turn and Talk: A Pathway to Amplifying Student Voices and Engagement Turn & talk practices are for low-risk tries, allowing children to feel more comfortable, inviting the whole group to try, think, & engage.

Use turn and talk with students for low risk practice. @danaclarklit.bsky.social share great ideas! www.drgravitygoldberg.com

Last day of the senior seminar of the semester. My students presented their capstone projects and it was beautiful. One of them reflected, “I love how our identities were connected to our projects.” They literally applauded each other. Savoring this moment because they don’t all feel like this.

If you are headed into a family gathering and feeling anxious take a minute to ground yourself. It is also helpful to do this with our kids. Best thing to bring to Thanksgiving is a regulated nervous system.

I’ve done this with colored Lego bricks to build sentences.

It was a powerful session!

A moment from my #NCTE24 session where we looked at metaphorical language and then moved our bodies to understand the feeling and meaning. Fun, effective, and engaging! #thebodybrainconnection

Are You a Tour Guide Teacher or Co-Explorer? Consultant Gravity Goldberg says teachers can be co-explorers, not just tour guides, and create opportunities for students to find their own way. Sample unit!

Just rereading & updating this great post by Gravity Goldberg. She's here on Bluesky: @drgravityg.bsky.social
