Proud of these Literacy Warriors who spent their weekend collaborating on solving the illiteracy crisis in PA! Mandatory screening and teacher training is one of many things that need to happen to help our 3rd grade students reach proficiency by third grade!

Spending the morning curriculum mapping using chat gpt. Inserted my state standards, asked it to make measurable goals for each standard with an assessment for each measurable goal. This has taken my department YEARS to develop... almost done and it's only taken two cups of coffee.

Received a beautiful email this morning from a female student who has used the summer to find her voice through writing. She thanked me for helping her develop confidence in her writing. What are some ways you are helping students tap into the power of literacy?

Good morning let's get chatting! My local control state is looking to change our requirement of 180 school days to 990 hours for high school & 900 hours for elementary with the objective of generating flexibility in the way districts structure their day & week. Let's unpack the possibilities!

What role will technology play in solving the teacher shortage and retention problem?

Hey! Thanks for the invite @alicekeeler.com ! Now how do I find my edtech people?
