When a student responds to an open-ended question, we then have the opportunity to "step it up" or "step it down" by providing challenge or providing support. Great takeaways for teachers from Tricia Zucker & Sonia Cabell's work! 💬 More in this article: files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED6... #EduSky

Has anyone had an issue with #alttext seemingly not saving on this platform? I have reminders on and have added alt text for every image I’ve posted, but it’s now only appearing on about 60% of them. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue!

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

And at the elementary level, vocabulary doesn’t have to be a standalone component of our instruction. In fact, it can and should be integrated with science, social studies, math, and authentic reading experiences! ❤️🧠 #EduSky

A great thread. To learn more about Gordon Parks’ remarkable work, I highly recommend Gordon Parks: How the Photographer Captured Black and White America by Carole Boston Weatherford & Jamey Christoph. A stunning read for K-12 learners! #kidlit #picturebook

What a great topic! I had the honor of starting my teaching career in the same school where I had been a K-4 student. I got to work alongside my former teachers - all of whom had inspired a love of story for me and my peers. Here I am with my fourth grade teacher in 2003 and 2019! #kidlitchat
